Life
Arthur Rosenheim was the son of a banker and came to Berlin with his parents in 1873. He studied natural sciences at the universities of Heidelberg, Munich and Berlin from 1884 to 1888. Here he was a student of Carl Rammelsberg and received his doctorate in 1888 with a dissertation on vanadium tungstic acid: A contribution to the knowledge of complex inorganic acids . He then studied electrochemistry at the Technical University of Munich.
From 1890 Rosenheim was an assistant at the Second Chemical Institute in Berlin. There he founded the private scientific-chemical laboratory Berlin N in 1891 with Carl Friedheim at Chausseestrasse 8 . When Friedheim went to Bern in 1897, Rosenheim continued the laboratory with Richard Joseph Meyer . Rosenheim became associate professor in 1906 and full professor for physical chemistry at the University of Berlin in 1921.
He also became Vice President of the German Chemical Society (DChG). In 1933 his license to teach was revoked because of his Jewish origins. The DChG also dismissed him in the same year.
Rosenheim mainly worked in the field of iso- and heteropoly acids. His student Gerhart Jander continued the work.
