Baron Dietrich von Mirbach (Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany) with Prof. R. J. H. Bisanz (Department of Chemical Engineering) at IIT Madras, 1967
Baron von Mirbach visited IIT Madras a few months after the Second Indo-German agreement was signed in New Delhi. The signing of the agreement kicked off the establishment of 5 laboratories. It also made provisions to complete the 20 laboratories which were in progress. The agreement was an effort to further the development of IIT Madras through a collaboration between India and Germany.
Prof. Bisanz was one of the German professors who was a part of the Institute. During the Eighth Institute Day in March 1967, one of his daughters took part in the play ‘Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam’. There is a photograph from the event which shows the daughter in one of the scenes of the play.
