from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfred Kalähne (also: Kalahne; * December 12, 1874 in Berlin ; † February 1, 1946 in Schleswig ) was a German physicist in Danzig .

Alfred Kalähne studied physics in Heidelberg and Berlin and completed his studies with a doctorate in 1898. During his studies he became a member of the Teutonia Berlin fraternity in the winter semester of 1893/94 . After his habilitation in 1902 in Heidelberg, he was given a chair for physics at the TH Danzig in 1906 .

Politically, he belonged to the German Danzig People's Party (DVP). His wife Anne was a member of the state parliament in the Danzig People's Day for the DNVP from 1920 to 1933 . After the National Socialists seized power in the Reich, she was arrested in 1933. In November 1933 he signed the German professors' confession of Adolf Hitler . He himself ran in the state elections in 1935. After the arrest and murder of Kurt Blavier , he was the next successor for the People's Day. For fear of the National Socialists, he did not accept the mandate, and Paul Jonas moved up to the state parliament instead.

In 1945 the Kalähne couple had to flee Danzig and moved to Schleswig, where Alfred Kalähne died after a short time.
