Abstract

It was a great pleasure for me to participate in the symposium in honor of Shiing-shen Chern. In my lecture I intended to give a survey on Hilbert modular surfaces. But actually I discussed examples of such Hilbert modular surfaces for which specific information is available on their structure as algebraic surfaces. The paper presented here is an extended version of the talk.
