Prof. Dr. Carl. H. Hahn: Saxon automotive pioneer is celebrating his 90th birthday
community4you AG is congratulating the name giver of „Villa Hahn“.
The European industry manager Prof. Dr. Carl H. Hahn - born in Chemnitz, Saxony - who decisively characterised in an unprecedented career the extremely successful development of the automotive industry celebrates his 90th birthday on the 1st of July 2016. With strong passion the former Volkswagen AG chairman supported his home region after reunification and was actively involved in the establishment of Chemnitz and Zwickau as Volkswagen production sites. Thanks to his efforts Volkswagen has become the largest investor in East Germany - due to that alone 50,000 jobs were created in the Free State of Saxony. Hahn’s name does not only has a very good reputation in the automotive sector. The honorary citizen of Chemnitz, Wolfsburg, Zwickau und Changchun has been committed to this day in numerous political, social and cultural organisations and in the Carl-and Marissa Hahn-Foundation established by him.
