Life
Georg Manecke studied chemistry at the University of Berlin , where he did his doctorate in 1941 under Johann Heinrich Helberger . After the Second World War, he worked from 1949 at Karl Friedrich Bonhoeffer's Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry, which later became the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society . Georg Manecke developed new polymers and the first immobilized enzymes bound to polymer matrices , which are of great importance for biotechnology today. In 1963, the Max Planck Society appointed him an External Scientific Member at the Fritz Haber Institute. Manecke completed his habilitation and was appointed to the Free University of Berlin, where he became director of the Institute for Organic Chemistry from 1964. In addition, Manecke worked for many years as a lecturer at the Technical University of Oldenburg. In 1979 he was awarded the Hermann Staudinger Prize by the Society of German Chemists (GDCh) for his scientific work . In 1999 the GDCh set up the Georg Manecke Foundation to support young polymer chemists.

His main work was the study of polymers to which enzymes are covalently bound. These immobilized enzymes can be used as heterogeneous catalysts .
