Heinz Maecker (born April 6, 1913 in Bromberg ; † April 4, 1999 ) was a German physicist and university professor.

Life

After visiting the Johanneum zu Lüneburg, Maecker studied physics in Rostock, Munich and Kiel. Since 1932 he was a member of the Corps Visigothia Rostock. In 1938, he obtained his PhD from the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel. phil. with the dissertation: The continuous spectrum of the carbon arc . During the Second World War he researched the propagation of pressure waves in gases and liquids for the air force in Berlin-Gatow.

After the war, Maecker returned to Kiel, where he and his work group were able to generate a high-temperature plasma of 50,000 K for the first time. In 1951 he switched to plasma research at Siemens-Schuckert-Werken in Nuremberg.

In 1961 he was offered a chair at the Electrophysical Institute of the Technical University of Munich , which he held until his retirement in 1979. There he researched further basics of plasma physics ( fusion reactor ). In 1983 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Karlsruhe .
