Hans Gebelein (* 1907 ; † 1985 ) was a German mathematician and physicist.

Gebelein studied mathematics and physics as a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation in Würzburg and Göttingen and received his doctorate in Göttingen in 1931 ( on the asymmetrical heavy top , also published in the Annalen der Physik) and passed the state examination in Würzburg in 1932. He then worked as an assistant at the TH Stuttgart , where he completed his habilitation in 1938 and became a private lecturer in applied mathematics and mechanics. From 1938 he was a construction officer at the mechanical engineering school in Esslingen and worked as an expert.
