Colloquium in Memory of Gert H. Mueller, Heidelberg, June 29 and 30, 2007 On September 3, 2006 the logic community lost with Gert H. Mueller one of its leading figures. Gert Mueller, born in the year 1923 in Troppau (Opava), received his PhD in philosophy in Graz in the year 1947. From 1952 to 1960 he was assistant to Paul Bernays in Zurich. In 1962 Mueller received his habilitation at the University of Heidelberg, where he founded the logic group attracting a large number of visitors over the years. From 1973 to his retirement in 1990 he held the chair for mathematical logic in Heidelberg. Gert Mueller was the president of the German Logic Society (Deutschen Vereinigung fr Mathematische Logik und fr Grundlagen der Exakten Wissenschaften; DVMLG) from 1976 to 1980. He served the logic community as organizer of numerous conferences and as an editor and coeditor of monographs and journals. Mueller was the founder and driving force of the influential Omega Group editing the famous series of monographs, "Perspectives in Mathematical Logic", and the Omega-Bibliography of mathematical logic. The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Universiy of Heidelberg will remember Gert H. Mueller with a colloquium on June 29 and 30, 2007.
