- Abstract
This article is an obituary for Andy Kurzweil, a researcher and co-founder of the AG Teerschwele (Working Group on Tar) at the Museumsdorf Düppel in Berlin, Germany. The author reflects on their friendship and collaboration, which involved conducting experiments and research on medieval tar production. Their findings challenged previous assumptions about the methods used in tar smouldering pits and explored the possibility of Neanderthals making birch pitch. The author praises Kurzweil's knowledge, creativity, sociability, and humor, and highlights his contributions to the Museumsdorf Düppel.
