Résumé :	The present author joined the editorial board of a new edition of NIETHAMMERS 'Handbuch der deutschen Vogelkunde', consisting at that time in fact only by Kurt M. BAUER, late December 1962. He proposed immediately to cover in full eleven Central European countries (on both sides of the Iron Curtain), to reconsider the approach once more, to organise the supply of basic information on status and distribution of bird species and to enlarge the assistance given to the editors by various experts. As in most countries field ornithologists were organised on a regional level at the best, the last two aims asked some years of hard work. The Dachverband Deutscher Avifaunisten for example as founded in January 1970 only, and this national union of organised field ornithologists was restricted to Western Germany. Amongst other experiences we learned that monitoring needs a clear target, convincing methodological advise and a guidance determined by sympathetic understanding and mutual respectfulness.
