Heinrich Fassbender (physicist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Konrad Friedrich Fassbender (born June 23, 1884 in Frankfurt am Main , † January 14, 1970 in Erlangen ) was a German physicist and high-frequency technician .

Life

Heinrich Fassbender was born as the son of the civil servant Carl Anton Fassbender and Sophie Fassbender, b. Ullrich, born and attended high schools in Erfurt and Darmstadt. After passing his matriculation examination in Darmstadt (1903), he studied electrical engineering from 1903 to 1907 at the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Universities of Marburg and Berlin . During his studies he became a member of the Association of German Students in Berlin and of the Association of German Students in Marburg . He was particularly concerned with wireless telegraphy and technical physics . In 1907 he was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD . He then worked there as an assistant at the physical institute. From 1908 to 1910 he was an engineer at Siemens & Halske , then until 1913 a scientific assistant at the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt in Charlottenburg . In 1914 he completed his habilitation in the areas of wireless telegraphy and telephony as well as electrotechnical measurement at the Technical University of Charlottenburg , where he became a private lecturer in electrical engineering. He took part in the First World War from 1916 to 1918 as a lieutenant . In 1918 he received the title of titular professor and in 1919 he became deputy head of the institute at the Technical University of Aachen . In 1922 he worked briefly as an associate professor at the TH Berlin . In the same year he was appointed professor and director of the electrical and mechanical engineering department of the engineering faculty at the University of La Plata , Argentina. In 1926 he returned to Germany and became an associate professor at the TH Berlin and head of the department for electrical engineering and radio at the German Research Institute for Aviation in Berlin-Adlershof (until 1935). In 1931 he took over the management of the Institute for Electrical Vibration Theory and High Frequency Technology at the TH Berlin (specializing in telecommunications technology). After Rudolf Franke retired in 1935, the chair for telecommunications technology was split up and he took over the first German chair for high-frequency technology. From 1937 to 1945 he was also director of the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Vibration Research (renamed the Institute for High Frequency Technology and Aviation Radio in 1943 ) and from 1941 to 1945 director of the four-year plan Institute for Vibration Research. In addition, he was a member of the scientific command of the Navy from 1943 to 1945 . After 1945 he only retained his teaching post and in 1949 he retired .

In 1933 Fassbender received the Gauß-Weber-Medal of the University of Göttingen , in 1957 the golden doctoral diploma and in 1959 he became an honorary senator of the TU Berlin. In 1926 he became a corresponding member of the Assoc. Argentina de Electrotecnicos in Buenos Aires, the Argentine Association of German Engineers in Buenos Aires and was a member of the Academy for Aviation Research in Berlin from 1934 to 1945. He also became a Fellow of the Institute of Radio Engineers , New York, in 1931 , and was a member of the Association of German Engineers . In 1960 he became an honorary member of the German Society for Positioning and Navigation .

On July 22, 1915, he married Edith Elise Brodhun in Berlin with whom he had two children: Carlos-Werner (born February 12, 1926 in Buenos Aires) and Helga, married. Meyer (born June 24, 1928).
