Thea Petschek, a graduate of Hof University of Applied Sciences, was once again awarded the Bavarian Culture Prize by Bayernwerk AG. In her master’s thesis in the logistics degree program, she dealt with the question of how bulky goods can be transported reliably and cost-efficiently. The award ceremony for this took place as a hybrid format. At the Eisbach Studios in Munich, 150 guests attended the award ceremony, at which a total of 32 scientists, as well as artists, were honored.
Transporting bulky goods well
Trucks are usually loaded from behind, i.e. at the rear – so the truck’s dimensions are often a limiting factor. In particular, this applies to the width of the rear door. Long and bulky goods must therefore often be loaded from the side. This makes logistics more complicated and expensive. In her thesis, Thea Petschek shows how so-called “non-system-compliant shipments” can be handled in networks of freight forwarders. To this end, she first presents relevant scientific positions and compares them with each other. A distribution system she extended from the literature forms the basis for the practical part of the work. For this, she worked closely with the transportation purchasing department of a large company. The 25-year-old identified the weak points and challenges in the distribution of long goods shipments. In a workshop with responsible buyers, the student worked out measures to distribute and transport bulky products better and more easily
“With these packages of measures and the individual measures, we are supporting transport purchasing to continue to transport long goods reliably and cost-effectively from A to B in the future,” explains Thea Petschek.
Artists also honored
At the awards ceremony, the musician Wolfgang Buck, the visual artist Thomas Demand, the artist couple Gretel and Erwin Eisch, the church musician Reinhard Kammler and the actress Luisa Wöllisch received the Bavarian Culture Award in the arts category. The special prize of the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts was presented by Minister of State Bernd Sibler to cabaret artist, actor and musician Hannes Ringlstetter.
Bavaria’s Minister of Science Bernd Sibler emphasized
Since I took office, it has been a matter close to my heart to make science and art visible in the Free State in order to support artistic and scientific talent in their work. The Bavarian Culture Award makes a valuable contribution to this as a prominent stage.”
Bernd Sibler, Minister of Science Bavaria
He added: “With this award, however, we also want to express our fundamental appreciation for the numerous artists, cultural workers and scientists throughout Bavaria. With their creativity, originality and wealth of ideas, they make the Free State more colorful, more livable and more successful. For this, my heartfelt thanks.”
Prize with tradition
The Bavarian Culture Prize is awarded by Bayernwerk together with the Bavarian State Ministry for Science and the Arts. In the science category, the best university and college graduates in Bavaria are honored
With this award, we make their findings accessible to the public and value them.”
Egon Leo Westphal, Chairman of the Board of Management Bayernwerk AG
The Bavarian Culture Award goes back to the East Bavarian Culture Award, which was first presented in 1959. In the science category, it is endowed with 2,000 euros each. All award winners also receive the “Gedankenblitz”. This bronze statue was created by the Schwandorf sculptor Peter Mayer.
