Abstract
The “Kontinentales Tiefbohr-Programm der Bundesrepublik Deutschland”, well-known meanwhile under its abbreviation “KTB”, is at present the most ambitious project in the geosciences in Germany. From the beginning, the “Senatskommission für Geowissenschaftliche Gemeinschaftsforschung der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft”, shortly the “Geokommission”, was involved in this program; it was, as a matter of fact, the Geokommission from whom the idea originated and finally came to fruition.
