Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung
The German Mathematical Society (, DMV) is the main professional society of German mathematicians and represents German mathematics within the European Mathematical Society (EMS) and the International Mathematical Union (IMU). It was founded in 1890 in Bremen with the set theorist Georg Cantor as first president. Founding members included Georg Cantor, Felix Klein, Walther von Dyck, David Hilbert, Hermann Minkowski, Carl Runge, Rudolf Sturm, Hermann Schubert, and Heinrich Weber. The current president of the DMV is . Activities In honour of its founding president, Georg Cantor, the society awards the Cantor Medal. The DMV publishes two scientific journals, the ''Jahresbericht der DMV'' and ''Documenta Mathematica''. It also publishes a quarterly magazine for its membership the ''Mitteilungen der DMV''. The annual meeting of the DMV is called the ''Jahrestagung''; the DMV traditionally meets every four years together with the Austrian Mathematical Society (ÖMG) and e ...

Hans Grauert
Hans Grauert (8 February 1930 in Haren, Emsland, Germany – 4 September 2011) was a German mathematician. He is known for major works on several complex variables, complex manifolds and the application of sheaf theory in this area, which influenced later work in algebraic geometry.Bauer, I. C. ''et al.'' (2002Complex geometry: collection of papers dedicated to Hans Grauert Springer. Together with Reinhold Remmert he established and developed the theory of complex-analytic spaces. He became professor at the University of Göttingen in 1958, as successor to C. L. Siegel. The lineage of this chair traces back through an eminent line of mathematicians: Weyl, Hilbert, Riemann, and ultimately to Gauss.Grauert, H. (1994Selected Papers Springer. Until his death, he was professor emeritus at Göttingen. Grauert was awarded a fellowship of the Leopoldina and the von Staudt Prize.
