Friedrich Wilhelm Hermann Delffs
Friedrich Wilhelm Hermann Delffs (born April 21, 1812 in Kiel , † March 18, 1894 in Heidelberg ) was a German chemist .
He received his doctorate as Dr. med. et phil. and from 1843 was associate professor at the medical faculty of Heidelberg University .
Requests from the Faculty of Philosophy to get him a professorial position in chemistry were rejected several times. After Leopold Gmelin had retired, Delffs was entrusted with the provisional management of the laboratory and holding the internship and lectures. When Robert Bunsen took over the professorship for chemistry in the philosophical faculty and the management of the academic laboratory in the fall of 1852, an agreement was also reached between the philosophical and medical faculties. In 1853 Delffs became a full professor of chemistry and toxicology.
