Franz Gottwalt Fischer
Franz Gottwalt Fischer (born November 15, 1902 in Florence , † October 9, 1960 in Würzburg ) was a German chemist .
Live and act
After his school and university Gottwalt Fischer in 1924 at Heinrich Wieland in Freiburg with a thesis the effect of iodine on the silver salts of organic acids About doctorate . With research in the field of phytol , he completed his habilitation in 1929 with Wieland at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich.
In 1930 Gottwalt Fischer received a call as an adjunct professor for organic chemistry in Freiburg . On November 1, 1938, he succeeded Otto Dimroth in Würzburg as a full professor of chemistry , where he was the director of the Institute of Chemistry (at that time at Röntgenring 11). Before that, the chemistry department at the University of Würzburg had been spun off from the philosophical faculty to a newly created natural science faculty in 1937. From 1940 he was a full member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences . As dean of the natural sciences faculty, Gottwalt Fischer was a member of the academic senate and the administrative committee of the University of Würzburg led by Waldemar Schleip .
From 1954 he was the editor of the booklet series “ Theoretical Biochemistry-Physical Chemistry Basics of Life Processes ”, together with Franz Lang he edited post-war volumes for the Biochemical Journal .
His research areas included phytol and natural product chemistry , many results were only published after his early retirement in 1956 or after his early death in 1960.
