Werner Lottermoser
Werner Lottermoser (born June 18, 1909 in Dresden ; † June 13, 1997 ) was a German physicist and expert on acoustics .
Life
Lottermoser studied physics in Dresden, Kiel and Tübingen. He worked at the Institute for Organ, Bells and Room Acoustics at the TH Berlin and at the Laboratory for Acoustics at the PTR (later PTB) founded by Martin Grützmacher in 1934 and took over the newly established Laboratory for Musical Acoustics in 1936. In the same year he received his doctorate on sound analysis studies on reed pipes . From 1945 to 1952 he was at the University of Tübingen and then again at the PTB, where he headed the Laboratory for Musical Acoustics until 1971. He was a senior councilor. His successor was Jürgen Meyer , who did his doctorate with him in 1960 on acoustics of organ pipes.
He was an organist and, among other things, dealt with the physics of organs. Another focus of his work was violin acoustics and dendrochronology of violins (also for proof of authenticity of old Italian violins) and he dealt with questions of the tuning tone and recorders.
He wrote articles on acoustics for Riemanns Musiklexikon and MGG .
