ACHIEVEMENTS
Albert Kaltenthaler was the founder of the very first LC in West Germany, LC Nuremberg in 1951 and also founded the National Committee of AIESEC in Germany in 1952, which was introduced to the organization at the 4th IC in Stockholm on March 19, 1952.

He was the Chairperson of the 5th International Congress in Nuremberg, March 15-23, 1953 as Presiding Country Committee President 1952/53.

After returning from war captivity in France, Albert Kaltenthaler founded a Local Committee at his university in Nuremberg, and the idea of AIESEC spread out to other universities in the same year (Cologne, Hamburg, Mannheim and Munich).

During his term as LCP, his growth of realized SNs and TNs soared: from 14 to 78 in 1951 and 18 to 89 in 1952 for SNs and TNs respectively.

At the end of his term as NCP (1952/53) and on the 3rd General Assembly of AIESEC in West Germany in Nuremberg, 9 more LCs were introduced to AIESEC in Germany: Berlin (Technical University), Bonn, Braunschweig, Erlangen, Frankfurt, Karlsruhe, Mainz, Muenster and Tuebingen.

Dr. Albert Kaltenthaler has been an active member of the German National Board of Advisors for more than 20 years, since 1983.

Through introducing AIESEC to German universities, Dr. Kaltenthaler added a very important and effective community development: offering students opportunities for international exposure and cooperation as a valuable learning experience.

An extraordinary and worthy experience, especially for students who experienced World War II themselves.

"He is a real historical figure of AIESEC through the difficult early days of a vision coming alive. Very few persons deserve this kind of recognition”.
