Heinrich Grell
Heinrich Grell (born February 3, 1903 in Lüdenscheid , † August 21, 1974 in Berlin ) was a German mathematician who dealt with algebra.
Life
Grell was the son of a master butcher and, after graduating from high school in 1922, studied mathematics, physics and astronomy at the University of Göttingen , where he received his doctorate from Emmy Noether in 1926 ("Relations between the ideals of different rings"). He then worked as an assistant in Göttingen in 1927/8, received a scholarship from the Notgemeinschaft Deutsche Wissenschaft and from 1928 to 1930 as an assistant at the University of Jena , where he completed his habilitation in 1930 ( branching theory in any order of algebraic number and function fields ). Then he was a lecturer in Jena, completed his habilitation in Halle in 1934 and became a lecturer in analysis and analytical geometry. He was in the NSDAP since 1933 , NSDAP district leader of the Jena faculty and also active in the SA and HJ with glider pilots and motorized pilots.
In 1935 he was arrested for violating Section 175 of the Criminal Code (homosexual acts) and lost his teaching license, but the criminal trial against him was not continued. On July 26, 1935, he was expelled from the NSDAP local group in Halle-Witteding for alleged immorality against children. He was unemployed until the beginning of the war in 1939. From 1939 to 1944 he was group leader in the development department of the Messerschmitt Aircraft Works . In 1944/45 he was on the Reich Research Council in Erlangen and after the war was initially an assistant at the University of Erlangen and the University of Bamberg , before becoming a professor at the Humboldt University in Berlin in 1948 , which he remained until his retirement in 1968. From 1959 to 1962 he was executive director of the Institute for Pure Mathematics of the German Academy of Sciences (which was headed by Hans Reichardt ) and then from 1964 to 1972 deputy general secretary of the academy. Together with Karl Maruhn and Willi Rinow , he edited the series of university books for mathematics at Deutscher Verlag der Wissenschaften Berlin . In 1960 he was awarded the Silver Patriotic Order of Merit .
In 1962 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Stockholm ( extension theory of one-dimensional Noetherian prescriptions with Lothar Budach ).
