Abstract
This special issue of at – Automatisierungstechnik is a celebration of the achievements of Winfried Oppelt, one of the great names of German control engineering. His reputation, and much of his work, will be well known to many readers of this journal, so in this introduction I shall not attempt to recount his biography in detail. Rather, I shall concentrate on the characteristics that, I believe, set him apart from other pioneers of the golden age of classical control.
