Old unreferenced BLP tagged in December 2017. The only external link provided is to a biography provided by his employer, University of Heidelberg here. G-searches provided plenty of books and papers written by the subject but I'm unable to find anything *about* him from reliable sources. Cheers,  Baffle☿gab  02:42, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Many published reviews of his many books give him a pass of WP:AUTHOR, at least. And as the holder of a named chair (in Germany, where such things are rarer than the US and the UK) he also passes WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:18, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe he meets WP:PROF for at least two reasons: 1) he has written a standard academic textbook on the EU in German alongside other reviewed publications in English and German; 2) he holds an endowed chair at one of Germany's leading universities. An equivalent academic at say, Cambridge or Yale would hardly be suspected of non-notability. Modussiccandi (talk) 19:24, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. The reviews now in the article now appear to be plenty for WP:NAUTHOR; I also find WP:NPROF plausible. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 12:56, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
