Aachen Cathedral - Aachen Cathedral The Aachen Cathedral, frequently referred to as the "Imperial Cathedral" (in German: Kaiserdom) of Aachen, is the oldest cathedral in northern Europe.

Vieille Montagne - former zinc mine in Kelmis (La Calamine), a town in Belgium in between Liège and Aachen. The mine's name is French for "the old mountain", and this is reflected in the its German name, Altenberg. The mine was once a bone of contention between Germany on the one side and the Netherlands and later Belgium on the other , resulting in the mine and village becoming the neutral territory of Moresnet.

Saint Adalbert was the first missionary in Prussia and later he became the main patron saint of the Königsberg Dome..

Hemimorphite - or stalactitic, and rarely fan-shaped clusters of crystals. Hemimorphite most frequently occurs as the product of the oxidation of the upper parts of sphalerite, accompanied by other secondary minerals which form the so-called 'iron cap' or 'gossan'. The origin is by the process of metasomatism, that is by the gradual replacement of the easily soluble limestone with less soluble matters brought by circulating waters. The regions on the Belgian-German border are well known for their deposits of hemimorphite of metasomatic origin, especially Vieille Montagne in Belgium and Aachen in Germany. Other deposits are near Tarnovice in upper Silesia (Poland), near Phoenixville (Pennsylvania), Elkhorn (Montana), Leadville (Colorado) and Organ Mountains (New Mexico) in the USA, and in several localities in North Africa. Further hemimorphite occurrences are in Nerchinsk in Siberia, Rabelj in.

Hugo Junkers - swords with German leaderships. In 1917 the government forced him into partnership with Anthony Fokker to ensure wartime production targets would be met. In 1926, unable to make government loan repayments after a failed venture to build planes for the USSR, he lost control of most of his businesses. In 1933, the Nazi government, on taking power, immediately demanded ownership of Junkers' patents and control of his remaining companies. Under threat of imprisonment he eventually acquiesced, to little avail; a year later he was under house arrest; a year after that he was dead.

GAP computer algebra system - restricted to computational group theory. GAP was developed at Lehrstuhl D für Mathematik (LDFM), RWTH Aachen, Germany from 1986 to 1997. After the retirement of J. Neubüser from the chair of LDFM, the development and maintenance of GAP is coordinated by the School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. Several users have contributed to the system via share packages which can be used in the same form as the main library. There are presently (Jul. '99) two versions in distribution: Version 4 .3 (GAP 4r3), incorporates several new basic features developed over the last years. In particular it provides much improved possibilities for defining mathematical structures of your own special interest. Version 3.4, patchlevel 4, (GAP 3.4.4) released April 1997 is still available as some.
