Heinz Nixdorf would have celebrated his 100th birthday on 9 April this year. To mark this anniversary, the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at Paderborn University is joining forces with the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum to present the "TalksHoch3" series of events from 7 to 9 October. On three consecutive evenings, visitors can look forward to concise and entertaining lectures that shed light on Heinz Nixdorf's knowledge and work in the fields of architecture, technology, and sport. The events begin at 7 pm with a welcome from Dr. Jochen Viehoff, Managing Director of the HNF. The museum will be open on all lecture evenings until the start of the event. Admission is free from 5 pm. After the events, guests are invited to enjoy a drink.
The event will kick off on Tuesday, 7 October with architect Martin K?nig's lecture "Heinz Nixdorf as a visionary in architecture and construction". He will introduce guests to Nixdorf's creative work and explain how he shaped the times with his architectural visions and how this period is still visible in architecture and construction technology today. In the supporting programme, Paderborn poetry slammer Julia Kluge will introduce the topic with the title "Architecture with reference to the aesthetics of the Nixdorf buildings - a poetry slam text". Prof. Dr. René Fahr, Vice President for Transfer and Sustainability at Paderborn University and Head of the "Behavioural Economic Engineering and Responsible Management" specialist group at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute, will lead through the evening.
On Wednesday, 8 October, Dominik Hermelingmeier will open the second evening with the science slam "How a street bollard explains Heinz Nixdorf's technology". The scientist will hand over the stage to Nikolaus Risch, Chairman of the Heinz Nixdorf Foundation, who will talk about "Heinz Nixdorf and the evolution of information technology: transformation of a region". His presentation will show how Nixdorf's visions laid the foundations for the transformation of the rural Paderborn region. The evening will be moderated by Prof Dr Ansgar Tr?chtler, head of the "Control Engineering and Mechatronics" department at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at Paderborn University.
On Thursday, 9 October, everything will revolve around the achievements with which Nixdorf has shaped sport in the region to this day.

Afterwards, Claus Reinsberger, Head of the Institute of Sports Medicine at Paderborn University, will talk about "Paderborn as a city of sport - unthinkable without Heinz Nixdorf?".
