Just about a month before his death, Friedrich Hirzebruch, founding director of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, has given a lecture about his current research in the institute's Geometric Topology Seminar. The lecture bears witness to his inexaustible productivity, clarity of presentation, and passion for mathematics.
