Fritz Thieme (born September 10, 1925 in Gröba (Riesa) , † March 27, 2013 in Hamburg ) was a German physicist and professor of physical chemistry .

Life

After serving as a submarine driver and being a prisoner of war, Fritz Thieme obtained his Abitur in 1946 at the grammar school in Glauchau . He then taught mathematics and physics at the grammar school in Meerane for two years . In 1948, he first studied mechanical engineering for one semester at the Technical University of Stuttgart and switched to chemistry in the following semester. In 1950 he became active in the Corps Bavaria Stuttgart. After completing his intermediate diploma, he moved to the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen , where he completed his degree in 1958 with a thesis with Adolf Knappwost . From 1955 to 1961 he worked as a research assistant in the Tübingen planning group of the Jülich nuclear research facility. In 1961 he followed Knappwost to Hamburg, initially as a research assistant, later as a scientific councilor and senior councilor. In 1963 he received a doctoral thesis at the University of Tübingen that was supervised by Knappwost. rer. nat. PhD. In 1969 he completed his habilitation at the University of Hamburg and received the venia legendi for physical chemistry. From 1970 to 1993 he was professor of physical chemistry in Hamburg.

From 1973 to 1981 Thieme was the spokesman for the chemistry department and for sixteen years chairman of the budget committee of the Academic Senate of Hamburg University. From 1982 to 1985 he was chairman of the conference of the chemistry departments and member of the advisory board of the mathematical and natural science faculty conference. In 1989 in Marburg and 1990 in Hamburg he chaired the mathematical and natural science faculty conference . From 1994 to 1997 he was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Chemnitz University of Technology .

Interfacial chemistry and metallurgy were among the focal points of Thieme's scientific work .
