in: Steve Russ, Jörg Liesen (eds), From Past to Future: Graßmann's Work in Context, Berlin, Springer, 2011Abstract
This is a very brief essay giving some comments on the basic importance of the notion of the Grassmann manifold, also called Grassmann variety or Grassmannian, for short. In the second part a new idea is sketched, how a generalized notion of the Grassmann manifold can be introduced in a noncommutative geometric space.
