Günter Schuster (born December 17, 1918 in Alfter / Gielsdorf ; † August 8, 2011 in Bonn ) was a German physicist and science functionary.

Life

Schuster studied physics and graduated in 1948. In 1949 he was with the work Magnetic and electrical tests on sintered Carbonylnickelstäben at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University in Bonn to Dr. rer. nat. PhD. He was a scientific assistant at the Institute for Radiation and Nuclear Physics in Bonn (1948/59) and at the Institute for Applied Physics in the Collaborative Research Center for Molecular Radiation Research (1950/55). Schuster has been teaching physics at the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Gymnasium Bonn (EMA) in Bonn since 1949 , where he himself graduated from high school in 1937. From 1956 to 1965 he was headmaster of the EMA. He taught "Didactics of Physics" at the University of Bonn and was a textbook author and co-editor of the teaching guidelines for North Rhine-Westphalia at the time.
