Katholisch-Theologische Fakultät würdigt Sigrid Reinitzer mit Ehrenring

Für Verdienste um die Katholisch-Theologische Fakultät der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz erhielt Dr. Sigrid Reinitzer, von 1989 bis 2004 Direktorin der Universitätsbibliothek Graz, am 7. November 2017 den Ehrenring in Gold verliehen. Dekan Univ.-Prof. Dr. Christoph Heil überreichte im Rahmen eines Festaktes im Uni-Zentrum Theologie die Auszeichnung: „Im zu Ende gegangenen Jubiläumsjahr der Reformation ist die Ehrenringüberreichung ein sehr schönes ökumenisches Zeichen hervorragender Beziehungen zwischen den Mitgliedern der Katholisch-Theologischen Fakultät und der langjährigen Leiterin der Universitätsbibliothek, einer evangelischen Christin.“ Heil dankte für die Unterstützung, denn eine „sehr gute Bibliothek ist eine essentielle Arbeitsunterlage für GeisteswissenschafterInnen.“

Dekan-Vorgänger Univ.-Prof. DDr. Reinhold Esterbauer, der auch die Verleihung im Senat initiiert hatte, blickte in seiner Laudatio auf die Stationen der Jubilarin. Reinitzer promovierte 1968 an der Uni Graz und war ab 1971 an der Universitätsbibliothek tätig. Unter ihrer Leitung entstanden zahlreiche Neubauten, wie die RESOWI-Bibliothek, und die Bibliothek ging auch online.

Sigrid Reinitzer reiht sich nun als erste Frau in die Reihe bekannter Ehrenringträger der Katholisch-Theologischen Fakultät ein, darunter Dr.h.c. Franz Küberl, Em.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Maximilian Liebmann und Em.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Johann Trummer, die auch der Feier beiwohnten. Ebenso wie die beiden Brüder der Geehrten: Univ.-Prof. Dr.i.R. Heimo Reinitzer, bis 2008 Professor für Ältere deutsche Literaturwissenschaft an der Universität Hamburg und bis 2005 wissenschaftlicher Leiter des Deutschen Bibelarchivs, hielt den Festvortrag mit dem Titel „Auf der Suche nach Identität“. Mag. Gero Reinitzer organisierte die musikalische Umrahmung mit Werken von Johann Sebastian Bach, vorgetragen von Horn Trio der Kunstuniversität Graz.

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

EU funding boosts international exchange between universities

The University of Graz is further expanding its international study opportunities through the European university alliance Arqus and is taking the lead in two key projects. In future, students will benefit from even more joint degree programmes and from simplified recognition of academic achievements through the Joint European Degree Label.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
