Hans Straka died in the morning of December 11, 2022 at his home in Munich, unexpected and much too early. He was a dedicated biologist, loved the mountains and was connected to home (Oberammergau, active participant in the Passion Play). His scientific journey took him from Munich via Paris and New York back to Munich and his many academic accomplishments ranged from a membership of the Editorial board of the Journal of Neurophysiology and of the Journal of Neuroscience. He was associate editor for Frontiers in Neuro-otology and for the volume "The Senses" he edited the part on Vestibular Function in 2020. In 2009 he became Professor of Systemic Neurosciences at the Department of Biology in Munich. Apart from his many academic accomplishments, however, Hans was a close friend to those of us who were fortunate enough to get to know him better. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
