Erwin Fues

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erwin Richard Fues (born January 17, 1893 in Stuttgart , † January 17, 1970 in Freudenstadt ) was a German theoretical physicist . From 1951 to 1953 he was Rector of the TH Stuttgart and in 1953 President of the West German Rectors' Conference .

Life

In 1919 he received his doctorate with the work Comparison between the spark spectra of the alkaline earths and the arc spectra of the alkalies with Arnold Sommerfeld at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich .

In 1922 he became an assistant, in 1924 a private lecturer in theoretical physics at the Technical University of Stuttgart , where in 1927 he received a teaching position for atomic theory . In 1928 he moved to the Technical University of Karlsruhe .

Fues was a full professor at the Technical University of Hanover from 1929 to 1934 , and from 1934 to 1943 at the University of Breslau and the Technical University of Wroclaw . From 1943 he was a full professor of theoretical physics at the University of Vienna . In November 1933 he signed the confession of the German professors to Adolf Hitler and had been a "sponsor" of the National Socialist Air Corps since 1940 . In 1943 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina and in 1944 a corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences . After the liberation from National Socialism, he was decommissioned by the University of Vienna.

In 1947 he became director of the Institute for Theoretical and Applied Physics at the Technical University of Stuttgart together with Ulrich Dehlinger (1901–1983) . The institute had two chairs and was created by converting the chair for technical physics that Paul Peter Ewald held. Dehlinger was Ewald's successor as professor of theoretical physics. Fues came to the second, newly founded chair. In 1958 he was elected a full member of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences . In 1960, Hermann Haken took up the chair at Fues as his successor.
