Sigurd Hofmann, one of the world leaders in the discovery of new elements, passed away in 2022 at the age of 78. During his time as head of GSI’s Heavy Elements Department, he succeeded in discovering the elements darmstadtium, roentgenium and copernicium. In the years before, he made significant contributions to the synthesis of the elements hassium, bohrium, and meitnerium. Equally remarkable in his scientific career was the discovery of proton radioactivity, which was achieved at the SHIP experimental setup in 1981. In this memorial colloquium, distinguished colleagues, who accompanied Sigurd’s scientific life, review his major achievements and provide new perspectives of the field.
