Dr. Walter Kölle (1936-2020) was Head of the Institute for Water Research at Hanover's municipal utilities until 1996. He was the author of approximately 100 specialist publications. In 1971, he was the first scientist to be awarded the newly established Society of Water Chemistry Prize (currently the Division Award).
In December 2010, Dr. Walter Kölle established a foundation at the German Chemical Society (GDCh) whose purpose is to promote scientific work in the field of water chemistry and to reward outstanding work by young scientists in this field.
For example, the foundation supports the Student Water Award, the water chemistry Doctoral Prize and the Society of Water Chemistry Prize by financing the prize money.
