Abstract
Dr.-Ing. E.h. Kurt Hain (1908–1995) belongs to the pioneers of Applied Kinematics in Germany. He published an extensive scientific work which contains 13 books and more than 380 papers on nearly all partial fields of kinematics. The paper gives a survey of the lifework of Kurt Hain and describes a national research project to store and to provide his heritage for all people who are interested in kinematics.
