Review text

Klarer und übersichtlicher Vortrag über die vom Verf. gefundene Lösung des (verallgemeinerten) Plateauschen Problems mit kurzer historischer Übersicht über frühere Lösungsversuche. (Die Hauptarbeiten des Verf. s. [\textit{J. Douglas}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 33, 263--321 (1931; Zbl 0001.14102)]; für zwei fach zusammenhängende Flächen durch zwei Kurven [\textit{E. J. McShane}, Ann. Math. (2) 33, 460--484 (1932; Zbl 0004.35401)]; für einseitige Flächen [\textit{J. Douglas}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 34, 731--756 (1932; Zbl 0005.37603)]).
