<\/a>Wolf Lemke, retired but still very busy. Picture: Lemke Family<\/p><\/div>\n
At the end of the year 2001, after more than 36 years with Rolladen-Schneider, Wolf Lemke finally retired. This was the beginning of a new phase in his life. Sailplanes were no longer his main mission; he could spend more time with his family. He travelled a lot. Enjoying nature by the sea made him feel good and saturated his soul.<\/em><\/p>\nWhile enjoying life and retirement he still liked to support development and approval-processes for various sailplane projects around him, like those of the Akafliegs Darmstadt and K\u00f6ln. He also worked on the approval of a single piece LS5, his dream of an open class super-glider. You may find him here sitting in its cockpit in 2014.<\/em><\/p>\nWolf Lemke has always been a good soul and he was a great buddy. At first glance he might seem a bit reserved, but once you listened to him, you would quickly learn how open minded he was. Wolf had an incredible sense of humor. Whatever he wanted to express, he could precisely put it in a nutshell, and with his personality he could deeply impress people. Dear Wolf, we will truly be missing you! Yet, that\u2019s why you will never really be gone.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n

With the development of LS sailplanes, Wolf Lemke has become a most successful and influencing aircraft designing engineer. He is an authority in the soaring community. This is probably best demonstrated by his cutting-edge standard class glider LS8. Wolf Lemke had developed its aerodynamic design already in the 80s.
