Abstract: Dear Authors and Readers, Last year, we had to learn about the loss of Reinhard Mennicken who passed away on June 13, 2019. Being Editor-in-Chief for about 20 years, he played a key role for the success of our journal. The Editors-in-Chief, the Managing and Coordinating Editor, and Wiley-VCH feel a deep gratitude towards him. In continuation of the development of the last years, also in the year 2019 the number of manuscripts submitted to Mathematische Nachrichten was increasing. We received more than 550 manuscripts and could publish 161 articles on 2660 pages, which yields an acceptance rate of approximately 30%. This means that we have to reject even good papers if the topic seems to be too specialized. On the other hand, the quality-based selection process gives us the possibility to keep the high standard of Mathematische Nachrichten, leading to a still increasing impact factor. In order to keep the processing time for each submission as short as possible, we urge the referees to complete their report within two months. In the year 2019, there were only minor changes in our editorial board. We are happy to welcome Bettina Eick (Braunschweig) and Milan Pokorný (Prague) as new Associate Editors, who will support us with their knowledge on group theory and partial differential equations, respectively. Without the expertise of our Editorial Board, we would not be able to handle contributions from all fields of mathematics, and we express our deep gratitude to our Associate Editors for their support. Finally, the Editors-in-Chief, the Managing and Coordinating Editor, and Wiley-VCH would like to thank our authors and reviewers from all over the world for supporting Mathematische Nachrichten.
