Our logo - the flask and the cogwheel - symbolizes the task of our society.
It stands for the interdisciplinary cooperation of chemists and engineers.
The Fibonacci series
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34
always provides a closely approximated solution, regardless of whether
it's a matter of population dynamics in the field of bioengineering or
transformation ratios in reaction analysis.
Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci (the short form of filius Bonacci),
discovered this series of numbers in 1202. Since they also define the
harmonic rectangles in formal aesthetics, they were integrated
into the DECHEMA symbol in 1992.
The modified DECHEMA symbol, uniting the chemist's Erlenmeyer flask
and the engineer's cogwheel, is now combined with a pattern of blue stripes
representing the Fibonacci ratio.
