This article reviews some of the work carried out on numerical methods in fluid mechanics in Germany during the past four decades: Early investigations in the sixties dealt with the extension of already existing solutions for two-dimensional flow problems to those of three-dimensional flows. In the following decades international short courses and conferences were established, and cooperation between scientists of various research centers and universities was successfully initiated and built up. The German Research Foundation generously sponsored these activities in two priority programs and in a third cooperative research program co-sponsored by the French Centre National Recherche et Scientific. In the nineties the German Science Council proposed a recommendation to the Federal Government to establish high-performance computing in Germany on an internationally competitive basis, which finally resulted in the foundation of the German Gauss Center for Supercomputing.
