Abstract	The study tries to show one line of how the German didactical tradition has evolved in response to new theoretical ideas and new-empirical-research approaches in mathematics education. First, the classical mathematical didactics, notably `stoffdidaktik' as one (besides other) specific German tradition are described. The critiques raised against `stoffdidaktik' concepts [for example, forms of `progressive mathematisation', `actively discovering learning processes' and `guided reinvention' (cf. Freudenthal, Wittmann)] changed the basic views on the roles that `mathematical knowledge', `teacher' and `student' have to play in teaching-learning processes; this conceptual change was supported by empirical studies on the professional knowledge and activities of mathematics teachers [for example, empirical studies of teacher thinking (cf. Bromme)] and of students' conceptions and misconceptions (for example, psychological research on students' mathematical thinking). With the interpretative empirical research on everyday mathematical teaching-learning situations (for example, the work of the research group around Bauersfeld) a new research paradigm for mathematics education was constituted: the cultural system of mathematical interaction (for instance, in the classroom) between teacher and students.
