Heidelberg University is preparing a memorial service after the rampage in a lecture hall.
Rector Bernhard Eitel could not name any precise plans on Monday evening.
The university is also considering how the crime can be processed internally.
It should definitely be addressed.
Mannheim/Heidelberg - Eitel was impressed both by the quick reaction within the university and by how quickly the police responded to the alarm at the facility.
That went very well.
Throughout the day he received messages from scientists from all over Europe who were following what was happening in Heidelberg and who were offering help.
According to Eitel, it also feels like an attack on the openness of the universities and the academic tradition.
