Abstract: In hyperbolic 3-space mathbbH3 surfaces of constant mean curvature H come in three types, corresponding to the cases 0leqH<1, H=1, H>1. Via the Lawson correspondence the latter two cases correspond to constant mean curvature surfaces in Euclidean 3-space mathbbE3 with H=0 and Heq0, respectively. These surface classes have been investigated intensively in the literature. For the case 0leqH<1 there is no Lawson correspondence in Euclidean space and there are relatively few publications. Examples have been difficult to construct. In this paper we present a generalized Weierstra{ss} type representation for surfaces of constant mean curvature in mathbbH3 with particular emphasis on the case of mean curvature 0leqH<1. In particular, the generalized Weierstra{ss} type representation presented in this paper enables us to construct simultaneously minimal surfaces (H=0) and non-minimal constant mean curvature surfaces (0<H<1).
