Heinz Jagodzinski
Heinz Jagodzinski (born April 20, 1916 in Aschersleben ; † November 22, 2012 in Munich ) was a German physicist, mineralogist and crystallographer.
Jagodzinski studied physics at the University of Greifswald and the University of Göttingen , where he received his doctorate in physics in 1941 ( on the pressure dependence of the excitation temperature in the arc column ). After completing his habilitation in Marburg in 1944, he headed the crystal science department at the Max Planck Institute for Silicate Research in Würzburg, where he became an adjunct professor in 1955. From 1959 he was professor for mineralogy at the TH Karlsruhe . Since 1963 he has been a full professor of mineralogy and crystallography at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . From 1964 he was head of the Bavarian State Collection for Mineralogy.
He published over 150 scientific papers.
In 2001 he received the Cothenius Medal . He was a corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences , member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences (1969) and the Leopoldina . Among other things, he was an honorary doctorate from the University of Würzburg. In 1984 he received the Federal Cross of Merit, 1st class. Since 1965 he was a member of the Max Planck Society .
