Alexander Nikuradze

Alexander Nikuradze ( Georgian ალექსანდრე ნიკურაძე Aleksandre Nikuradze ; also known under his pseudonym A. Sanders ) (born October 10, 1900 in Samtredia ; † June 13, 1981 in Munich ) was a German physicist and geopolitician born in Georgia .

Life

Alexander Nikuradse was the brother of the flow scientist Johann Nikuradse . He was sent to Berlin by the Georgian government to complete his studies there. Nikuradze stayed in Berlin and received German citizenship after the Red Army took Georgia in 1921. Nikuradze was a reliable opponent of Soviet rule in Georgia. He was actively involved in the Georgian migrant community and had close ties with the NSDAP. Since their days together as migrants in Munich in the early 1920s, he had been on friendly terms with Alfred Rosenberg , whose ideas about the Caucasus were largely a result of Nikuradze's influence.

He lobbied for an independent Georgia and campaigned for German support for anti-Soviet Georgian emigration. Nikuradze was influenced by the geopolitical theories of Karl Haushofer , he planned the ambitious project of a German protectorate of a Caucasian confederation in which the Georgians should play a leading role. From 1941 Alexander Nikuradse headed the "Continental European Research" of the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR), which was housed in Schwarzenfeld in Upper Palatinate from the end of 1943 . The institute was taken over on April 1, 1947 by the Bavarian government under Hans Ehard with four permanent positions and affiliated to the TH Munich . Until March 8, 1954, Nikuradses headed the institute, which was located in the Passionist monastery in Schwarzenfeld until shortly before the end of the war . From February 22, 1955, it was continued elsewhere as his private institute for the study of "atomic nuclear rays" and related research.

As a physicist, he mainly dealt with applied physics , in particular with the study of dielectric materials and the theories of electrons and ions. From the end of the 1950s he worked for the Central Office for Aviation Documentation and Information (ZLDI) at the Institute for Electron and Ion Research , Munich, Riem Airport.
