Erich Ebler
Erich Ebler (born March 8, 1880 in Mannheim , † January 23, 1922 in Munich ) was a German chemist and university professor.
Live and act
He was born as the son of the Mannheim businessman Emil Ebler and his wife Emma nee. Lewy.
Ebler studied natural sciences (chemistry, physics, botany, zoology, mineralogy) in Leipzig and Heidelberg and obtained his doctorate in inorganic-analytical chemistry under Emil Knoevenagel in 1901 at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . The dissertation and habilitation focused on the use of hydrazine and hydroxylamine in analytical chemistry . He then worked as an assistant in Heidelberg, completed his habilitation in 1905, became an associate professor in 1910 and head of the inorganic chemistry department in 1912. In 1915 he became a scheduled associate professor and head of the inorganic and analytical department at the University of Frankfurt . In 1920 he became a full professor.
During the First World War he served with a ski group (he was an avid skier) and then with a balloon unit . After an injury from phosphorus gas (with protracted kidney disease as a result) he was transferred as a lieutenant to the staff of the Quartermaster General West and headed the chemical industry in occupied Belgium. Because of his services to the German war economy, he was offered a post in the Ministry of Reconstruction after the war, but he preferred to return to the university. Due to his illnesses, however, his research work was hindered.
Encouraged by his student Heinrich Bart (after whom the Bart reaction is named), he discovered the relatively high arsenic content of the Maxquelle in Bad Dürkheim (which is the source with the highest arsenic content in Germany and the second highest in Europe after the Roncegno spring in South Tyrol). The investigations were related to the search for radioactivity in sources (and possibly new elements in these and their deposits).
He edited the 2nd and 3rd editions of Emil Knoevenagel's internship as an inorganic chemist. Introduction to inorganic chemistry on an experimental basis. (1909 or 1920).
Erich Ebler married Marie Scherr (1876–1942) in 1904, a daughter of the revolutionary and literature professor Johannes Scherr . Her daughter Annemarie (1910–2004) married the architect Hermann Hampe .
