Hans Grauert (8 February 1930 in Haren, Emsland, Germany – 4 September 2011) was a German mathematician.
He is known for major works on several complex variables, complex manifolds and the application of sheaf theory in this area, which influenced later work in algebraic geometry.
Together with Reinhold Remmert he established and developed the theory of complex-analytic spaces.
He became Professor at the University of Göttingen in 1958, as successor to C.
L.
Siegel.
The lineage of this chair traces back through an eminent line of mathematicians: Weyl, Hilbert, Riemann, and ultimately to Gauss.
Until his death, he was professor emeritus at Göttingen. Grauert was awarded a fellowship of the Leopoldina.
