life and work

Schwab was a son of the journalist Josef Bernhard Schwab . Towards the end of the First World War he did military service and then studied chemistry and physics in Berlin . With a thesis on ozone he received his doctorate in 1923 and received the rarely awarded title eximium opus . He then worked as an assistant to Max Bodenstein , then from 1925 as an assistant to Otto Dimroth at the University of Würzburg . There he completed his habilitation in 1927 with an investigation into the splitting of methane and ammonia.

Afterwards he became head of the 3rd inorganic department of the chemical laboratory of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and in 1933 associate professor. In 1938 Schwab's license to teach was withdrawn for racial reasons, which is why he emigrated to Greece the following year. There he initially worked as head of the research department for inorganic, physical and catalytic chemistry at the Nikolaos Kanellopoulos Institute in Piraeus. In 1939 he married the Greek Elly Agallidis. After the occupation of Greece by the German armed forces , his passport was withdrawn in 1942. In 1949 he received a professorship in physical chemistry at the Technical University of Athens. In the same year he returned to Germany and initially worked as a visiting professor at the Technical University of Darmstadt and was finally appointed to the University of Munich in 1950 .
