Abstract
The talk summarizes the beginnings of AI as a discipline in Germany until around 1982. This includes the formation of a community in 1975 by establishing a German AI conference series, a quarterly newsletter, and a representative body for AI within the GI, all of which is still in existence and thriving today. It also includes the embedding of the national activities within the international AI community by organizing the first "ECAI" conference as an AISB/GI conference in Hamburg, the foundation of ECCAI, the European AI umbrella society, and many other initiatives of German AI researchers.
