For the Contracting States : BE, CH, DE, FR, GB, IT, LI, LU, NL, SE 1. Cephem derivatives of the general formula see diagramm : EP0111935,P10,F1 and physiologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof in which R**1 denotes hydrogen, R**2 denotes hydrogen, R**3 denotes C1 -C4 -alkyl optionally substituted by fluorine, A denotes a quinolinium or an isoquinolinium radical, each of which can also be substituted once or twice by C1 -C4 -alkyl and in which the R**3O group is in the syn position. For the Contracting State : AT A process for the preparation of cephem derivatives of the general formula I see diagramm : EP0111935,P11,F1 and physiologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof in which R**1 denotes hydrogen, R**2 denotes hydrogen, R**3 denotes C1 -C4 -alkyl optionally substituted by fluorine, A denotes a quinolinium or an isoquinolinium radical, each of which can also be substituted once or twice by C1 -C4 -alkyl and in which the R**3O group is in the syn position, which comprises a) reacting a compound of the general formula II see diagramm : EP0111935,P11,F2 or salts thereof or a reactive derivative of the compound II in which R**1, R**2 and R**3 have the abovementioned meaning and R**8 denotes an amino group or a protected amino group and R**9 denotes a group which can be replaced by quinoline, isoquinoline or substituted quinolines or isoquinolines corresponding to the radicals A of the formula I, with quinoline, isoquinoline or one of their derivatives, and alpha) splitting off a protective group which is present where appropriate and beta) if necessary, converting the resulting product into a physiologically acceptable acid addition salt, or b) reacting a 7-aminocephen compound of the general formula III see diagramm : EP0111935,P12,F3 or acid addition salts thereof in which R**2 and A have the abovementioned meaning, it also being possible for the amino group to be present in the form of a reactive derivative, with a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-syn-oximinoacetic acid of the general formula IV see diagramm : EP0111935,P12,F4 in which R**1, R**3 and R**8 have the above meaning, or with an activated derivative of this compound, and alpha) splitting off a protective group which is present where appropriate and beta) if necessary, converting the resulting product into a physiologically acceptable acid addition salt
