At their annual meeting, traditionally held on Shrove Monday, the Mathematische Gesellschaft in Hamburg elected Benedikt Löwe to be their Archivist and serve on the board for one year.

The Mathematische Gesellschaft in Hamburg was founded in 1690 (under the name of Kunstrechnungsliebende Societät) and is the oldest existing mathematical society in the world and the second oldest German scientific society (after the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina). It stands in the tradition of linking mathematics, computation, and the general mathematically literate public. Current activities are mathematical lectures for a general audience and engagement of mathematically talented secondary school students under the motto "Antiqua emendo substituoque nova".
