At the end of this year, and with the end of my almost 14 years of service as Editor-in-Chief of Annalen der Physik (AdP), the journal will undergo significant changes. From January 2012 onwards the journal will be run directly by the publisher with an in-house editorial team. There is not only a change in editorship, but also a profound restructuring of the journal, such that AdP will be completely relaunched in 2012. The changes refer to the content, layout and staffing. The Editorial Board members Friedrich W. Hehl, Bernhard Kramer, Gerd Ropke and Andreas Wipf will continue to serve for AdP as Honorary Advisory Board members. They will be joined by Ingo Peschel who is now Advisory Board member, and myself. Ingo Peschel, for example, has been crucial and very supportive in difficult times, right after the German reunion, when the 8th series was started in 1992, but also later when Bernhard Muhlschlegel handed over the editorship to me in March 1998. I am most grateful to my editor colleagues for their commitment, enthusiasm and support over all those years of hard work. The support by the members of the Advisory Board should be acknowledged as well. Last but not least, I wish to thank the staff at Wiley-VCH for their continuous support, and for the excellent cooperation at all times. From January 2012 I will hand over my responsibilities to the designated Editor-in-Chief Guido W. Fuchs, who previously served as Managing Editor for this journal since 2009. I hope that you will continue to support him, and the Annalen, in the years to come.
