Abstract
This paper presents a short account of the History of IFToMM, the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science, focusing on the foundation event and founding fathers. All the founding fathers are listed as signatories and attendees of the Second World Congress on the TMM in 1969 during which IFToMM was founded. In order to honor them short biographical notes of the founding fathers are included referring to their main technical-scientific contributions and their service in IFToMM.
