In addition to Chairman Director General Vits, Federal President Lübke, Federal Ministers Etzel and Balke and the ambassadors of Ghana, the United Arab Republic and Argentina also signed the book. Various representatives of the federal states and individual federal ministries, other politicians and General Speidel, a representative of the German Armed Forces, also signed.

In addition to the signatories, Lord Mayor Buch also welcomed church dignitaries, Bishop Stohr and Auxiliary Bishop Kampe, during the festive reception in the Yellow Salon of the Kurhaus. Buch emphasized the importance of science and praised the work of the Stifterverband and the commitment of all those involved.
