Göttingen

A city in Lower Saxony, Germany, centred on its historic university. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it served as the global epicentre of mathematical thought. The university was home to a mandarin class of scholars including Gauss, Riemann, and Hilbert, whose work in the local lecture halls fundamentally reshaped the foundations of logic, physics, and geometry.
