Paul J. Crutzen – interactions with friends and colleagues

Abstract. Paul J. Crutzen was a brilliant scientist and a pioneer in atmospheric sciences. But at the same time, he was a kind-hearted, humorous and pleasant person. He had lots of empathy for the private lives of colleagues and students and he had always time for his family. The idea of this contribution is to report a few anecdotes on Paul’s life, which were contributed by friends and colleagues. Taken together these anecdotes should shed some light on the person Paul Crutzen, which is perhaps less visible, when focusing on his (many) scientific achievements.
