"Without Gerhard Lis, the successful implementation of this major integration project would not have been possible and that is why we are very grateful to him.",said Regina Schafmeister, Chairwoman of the KOLPING-FORUM Paderborn Foundation, which has been running the Aspethera Inclusion Hotel at Busdorf 7 since 2006. "As chairman of the local Kolping family, he always had our backs, gave us courage and looked ahead," Schafmeister continued. After 15 years, Gerhard Lis has now retired from the Foundation Board.
