Additional Information: Column Editor's Note: In 1990, the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung celebrated its one-hundredth anniversary at a meeting in Bremen, the site of its inception. As the Union's President, Friedrich Hirzebruch delivered a speech on 17 September 1990 in which he briefly sketched the history of the Union from its nineteenth-century origins, through the difficult interwar years, to the spectacular developments of the centennial year of 1990. The following is a somewhat free translation of part of that speech. I would like to thank my colleague, Bill Jackson of the German Department here at the University of Virginia, for giving so generously of his time in helping me over several difficult points in the text.
