9/11 victim #10 of 2977: Heinrich Bernhard “Heinz” Ackermann (November 4, 1962 – September 11, 2001) died in Tower 2 World Trade Center. Heinrich was a German insurance professional who lived in New York City. He was 38. He was born in Roxel, in Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia. His family ran a restaurant in the Münsterland, which he did not want to take over. In his early thirties he moved to New York and worked in insurance. Colleagues knew him as friendly, capable, and well liked. He had worked with Aon’s German predecessor Jauch & Hübener in Munich in the 1990s, then for Aon Corporation in New York. In the summer of 2001 he visited Aon’s Detroit office and offered colleagues a tour of the World Trade Center. Friends in Germany said he planned to move home around age 40. On September 11 he was an Aon employee assigned to the South Tower (2 World Trade Center), 101st floor. United Airlines Flight 175 struck that tower well below his floor. A survivor later recalled him in the tower lobby helping the wounded. He did not survive. His name is on Panel S-55 of the National September 11 Memorial Remember Heinrich Bernhard Ackermann Say his name. We have not forgotten.❤️ #NeverForget #911Memorial #HonorTheVictims
