Eilhard Ernst Gustav Wiedemann (born August 1, 1852 in Berlin ; † January 7, 1928 in Erlangen ) was a German physicist .

Wiedemann had been a private lecturer in Leipzig since 1876, associate professor in Leipzig in 1878 and professor of physics at the University of Erlangen in 1886, after having previously been professor in Darmstadt in 1886 . For a long time since 1877 he edited the supplements to the annals of physics and chemistry together with his father, Gustav Heinrich Wiedemann . In 1887 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina . From 1885 to 1886 he was an extraordinary member of the Saxon Academy of Sciences .

Eilhard Wiedemann had a wide range of interests, so he also worked on topics from the history of science , especially the Arabs (for example with his assistant Friedrich Hauser on clocks in medieval Islam).

In 1891 Wiedemann became the father of the later forest professor of the same name, Eilhard Wiedemann . In 1919 the Erlangen student association AMV Fridericiana made him an honorary member.

His estate is kept in the Deutsches Museum in Munich .
