History

The Abhandlungen were set up as a new journal by Wilhelm Blaschke in 1922 at the newly created Department of Mathematics (called Mathematisches Seminar) at the newly founded Hamburgische Universität.[1] Blaschke invited both Hermann Weyl and David Hilbert to the Mathematisches Seminar (in 1920 and 1921, respectively) to deliver talk series on their views concerning the Foundations of Mathematics. These talks formed part of the early history of the Grundlagenkrise der Mathematik and Hilbert's talk was published in the firs]t volume of the new journal.[2] The first volumes of the journal contain numerous papers of famous mathematicians such as Paul Bernays, Constantin Carathéodory, G. H. Hardy & J. E. Littlewood, Jacques Herbrand, Ruth Moufang, George Pólya, and John von Neumann.

Until 1970, the Mathematisches Seminar was covering all of mathematics, including applied mathematics, stochastics, and statistics. After the reform of the university, it became the research institute of pure mathematics. As an institution, the Mathematisches Seminar was dissolved in 1999 and the informal cooperation with the same name was formed.[3]

Since 2007, the journal is published by Springer Science+Business Media.

List of Managing Editors

The professors of the Mathematisches Seminar of the Universität Hamburg are serving as member of the editorial board of the journal. Until volume 36, the editorial board consisted of the Directors of the Mathematisches Seminar and there was no Managing Editor. In those years, the following Hamburg professors were members of the editorial board: Rainer Ansorge [de], Emil Artin, Heinz Bauer, Wilhelm Blaschke, Hel Braun, Lothar Collatz, Max Deuring, Helmut Hasse, Erich Hecke, Karl Hinderer [de], Erich Kähler, Hans Rademacher, Johann Radon, Leopold Schmetterer, Emanuel Sperner, Ernst Witt, Hans Zassenhaus.

Starting with volume 37, a pair of Managing Editors (Schriftleitung) was responsible for the administration of the editorial process.[4]
