If Zdenek Kopal Department of Astronomy University of Manchester
Your Magnificences, my Lord Mayor, ladies and gentlemen! It is a
great pleasure for me to respond, on behalf of your foreign guests,
to your gracious words of welcome; and to thank you for the
wonderful reception which you nave extended to us. The city of
Bamberg and its Remeis Sternwarte nas indeed been renowned allover
the world for a great many years - as the place where your
Observatory's first director, Professor Ernst Hartwig (1851-1923) -
in addition to his other titles to fame - collaborated (with Gustav
Muller of Potsdam) on the construc- tion of the monumental
Geschichte und Literatur des Lirhtwechsels der Veranderlichen
Sterne, which since 1918 has (together with its sub- sequent
continuation) been a veritable vade-mecum of a1l students of
variable stars; where the second director, Professor Ernst Zinner
(1886-19]~ prepared his valuable Katalog der Verdachtigen
Veranderlichen Sterne (192@ which safeguarded many an astronomer
(including the present speaker in the days of his innocence) from
premature discovery claims; and whose third director, Professor
Wolfgang Strohmeier, initiated in 1959 the tradition of the
international colloquia of which ours is the latest successor. It
is indeed a great pleasure to welcome Professor Strohmeier - now
Emeritus - among us; and to congratulate him on the grace with
which he is carrying his years.
