The German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry was founded in Kassel in 1894 as the German Electrochemical Society . Founding members were Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff , Wilhelm Ostwald and Walther Nernst . The society was renamed in 1902 in honor of Robert Bunsen in German Bunsen Society for Applied Physical Chemistry . It has had its current name since 1936.

The headquarters of the Bunsen Society is located on Varrentrappstrasse in Frankfurt am Main , named after the chemist Franz Varrentrapp . The archive is located in the building of the Liebig Museum in Giessen .

Bunsen conference, May 1928 in Munich

Every year since 1894, the Bunsen conference has been held at different locations in Germany and in German-speaking countries with around 700 participants.

Bunsen commemorative coin

The society awards scientists with the Bunsen commemorative coin , which was donated in 1907 by Henry Theodor von Böttinger . Prize winners are:

Nernst Haber Bodenstein Prize

The Nernst Haber Bodenstein Prize is awarded to younger scientists up to around 40 years of age by the German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry in recognition of outstanding scientific achievements in physical chemistry in memory of Max Bodenstein , Fritz Haber and Walther Nernst .

van't Hoff price

The van't Hoff Prize has been awarded every third year since 2009 to outstanding active researchers in physical chemistry. The prize was donated in 2008 by Nobel Prize Winner Gerhard Ertl in honor of the first Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff ; it consists of a silver medal, a certificate and prize money of 20,000 euros. Prize winners are:

Wilhelm Ostwald Young Talent Award

It is awarded jointly with the Society of German Chemists and the Wilhelm Ostwald Society for a dissertation or equivalent work that creates bridges between different disciplines. The award winner must not be older than 33 years, the work must not date back more than two years and the award is endowed with 2500 euros. University lecturers are entitled to make proposals. The award winner can present his work at a conference of the three societies.

Prize winners were:

Hans GA Hellmann Prize for Theoretical Chemistry (AGTC)

The prize named after HGA Hellmann is awarded by the Working Group for Theoretical Chemistry for outstanding scientific achievements in the entire field of theoretical chemistry. It is awarded to younger junior researchers (generally not over 40 years of age) who have not yet held a lifetime professorship and who are connected to the German-speaking research landscape.

Prize winners were:
