Friedrich Hirzebruch 1927 - 2012.
The first president of the European Mathematical Society, Friedrich Hirzebruch,
has passed away. Fritz Hirzebruch studied mathematics at Münster. In 1956 he became
professor at Bonn where he remained until his retirement. In 1980 he founded
the Max-Planck-Institut fur Mathematik, serving as Director until 1995. His profound
contributions to mathematics - in applications of topology to algebraic manifolds and
number theory - and to German mathematical life, were honoured by many prizes, including that of the Wolf foundation in 1988 and the Georg Cantor medal of the DMV in 2004. He was honorary president of the 1998 International Congress of Mathematics in Berlin.
European mathematics has lost a great scholar and the EMS has lost one of its architects.
