Summary

Roland K. Fuchshuber is a mathematician and taught for a long time at the Cologne Polytechnic as Professor and Director of applied and integrated data processing, as well as being co-founder of the information technology course. He gained accsess to the computers of the type Z-22 and IBM 650 for the first time in 1957 through a government research assignment. In 1960 as a member of the foundation committee of the CETIS Group at EURATOM in Brussels and Ispra (Italy) he began producing analogue computer-aided graphics (among the very first works in the field ) 5

Unlike many of his German colleagues, he worked exclusively with American computers and drawing apparatus, generally using analogue and hybrid systems made by the companies PACE and EAL which offer the possibility to intervene directly in the operation of the programme.

“… by contrast to later digital outputs, my computer graphics are all originals and no longer (except as reprints) reproducible .”

Fuchshuber lives and works in Cologne.

Liebe Autorinnen und Autoren der Mozart Studien, nachdem der Verlag Hans Schneider Tutzing seine Produktion eingestellt hat, werden die Mozart Studien künftig in vergleichbarer Aufmachung beim Wissenschaftsverlag Hollitzer in Wien erscheinen (www.hollitzer.at). Hollitzer möchte neben der Druckversion auch eine E-book-Version anbieten. Das unterstütze ich im Interesse internationaler Verbreitung. Vielleicht ist es auch möglich, die älteren Bände elektronisch zu verbreiten. Darf ich hier mit Ihrer Zustimmung rechnen? Mit herzlichen Grüßen Ihr Manfred Hermann Schmid
