Hall of Fame for German Research
The Hall of Fame for German Research is a campaign launched by manager magazin in 2009 .
By being inducted into the Hall of Fame for German Research , manager magazin honors scientists whose lifetime achievements have made an outstanding contribution to the further development of research and who have made Germany more sustainable as a business location in international competition. Every year active scientists and historical laureates are appointed to the Hall of Fame .
In 2018, the Curious Mind Award was given for the first time to young scientists whose excellent research already reveals useful applications for business.

| Werner Heisenberg | Nobel laureate in physics in 1932 and founder of quantum mechanics (posthumous) | |
| Feodor Lynen | Nobel Prize Winner for Medicine in 1964, Founding Director of the Max Planck Institute for Cell Chemistry - today's Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Martinsried near Munich, the nucleus of the German biotech industry (posthumous) | |
| 2010 | Manfred Eigen | Nobel laureate in chemistry in 1967 and longstanding director of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Research in Göttingen |
| Harald zur Hausen | 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine and long-time director of the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg | |
| Günter Spur | Pioneer of modern production science and "father of the factory of tomorrow" | |
| Karl Ziegler | Nobel laureate in chemistry from 1963 and long-time director of the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research in Mülheim / Ruhr (posthumously). | |
| 2011 | Theodor W. Hänsch | Director at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics and Head of the Laser Spectroscopy Department |
| Joachim Milberg | Founding President of the German Academy of Science and Engineering ("Acatech") and Chairman of the BMW Supervisory Board | |
| 2012 | Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard | Developmental biologist in Tübingen, 1995 Nobel Prize in Medicine |
| Axel Ullrich | Director at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Martinsried near Munich | |
| 2013 | Klaus von Klitzing | Director at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart and winner of the 1985 Nobel Prize in Physics |
| Hans-Jörg Bullinger | longtime president of the Fraunhofer Society | |
| 2014 | Stefan Hell | Hell was honored “for the development of a groundbreaking microscopy method that is much more magnified and delivers more precise images than physics previously thought possible. In contrast to electron microscopy, which can only examine dead material, the new technology can be used to observe living cells and even depict individual molecules. Experts assume that the devices from Stefan Hell's laboratory will revolutionize medical diagnostics and therapy in the next few years. " |
| Ludwig Pohl | As head of the chemical research department at Merck, Pohl played a key role in promoting the development of so-called liquid crystals. These connections provide the basis for flat screens (LCD) in TV sets, in notebooks and tablet computers, for touch screens in navigation devices and mobile phones | |
| 2015 | Gerhard Ertl | 2007 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and Director Emeritus at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin |
| Manfred Weck | Mechanical engineering professor and long-time director of the machine tool laboratory at RWTH Aachen University | |
| 2016 | Jens Frahm | "Frahm received the award for its fast magnetic resonance examination procedures in medical diagnostics, which among other things enable film recordings of the beating heart." |
| Franz Pischinger | "Pischinger has greatly improved the emission control for gasoline and diesel engines, which has reduced pollutants worldwide." | |
| 2017 | August-Wilhelm Scheer | "Scheer received the award for developing a software architecture that made digital management of all business processes in a company possible on a broad basis." |
| Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker | "For his services as co-founder of the 'Biotech Valley' in Martinsried in Upper Bavaria and as President of the German Research Foundation (DFG) as well as founding Secretary General of the European Research Council (ERC)." | |
| 2018 | Franz-Ulrich Hartl | was honored for the discovery of chaperones and their function in shaping the cell's own protein molecules and for researching active ingredients against defective chaperones. |
| 2019 | Karsten Danzmann | for his significant participation in the development of the sensitive measurement technology with which gravitational waves could be detected in 2015. |
