Prof. Julius Wess
I met Prof. Julius Wess at a conference in Alessandria, Italy, on a wonderful spring day in 2007. Sitting next to him at dinner, I found that my table neighbor - one of the most distinguished theoretical physicists of our time - happened to be a friendly and gentle man. We talked about the current situation of physics in Vienna. He had the impression that Vienna had changed a lot since the fall of the Iron Curtain. This encounter took place about half a year before his unexpected death.

Despite his outstanding contributions to theoretical physics, Julius Wess is hardly known to the Austrian public. This is a short story about a fine man and superb physics.
