Among his students were a generation of Egyptologists, many of whom specialize in the Sudan of antiquity, including Erika Endesfelder, Liselotte Honigmann-zinserling, Irene Shirun-Grumach, Karl-Heinz Priese, Walter-Friedrich Reineke and Steffen Wenig.
His wife was German archaeologist Ursula Hintze. Hintze was killed on March 30, 1993, by a car accident. Provided by Wikipedia
