Life
After attending school in Bückeburg and Weilburg, Hermann Lorberg studied natural sciences at the universities of Göttingen , Heidelberg and Berlin from 1850 .
In 1857 he was at Otto Hesse at the Ruprecht-Karls-University of Heidelberg Dr. phil. doctorate and then turned to the teaching profession. After teaching positions in Brandenburg, Barmen , Ruhrort and Saargemünd , Lorberg became a grammar school teacher in Strasbourg , where he was awarded the title of professor in 1888.
In 1888 he completed his habilitation in theoretical physics at the University of Strasbourg and in the summer of 1890 was appointed professor of theoretical physics at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelm-Universität Bonn .
On January 18, 1892, Hermann Lorberg was accepted as a member ( matriculation number 2942 ) in the Leopoldina .
His scientific focus was mainly on the mathematical field in the field of electricity.
The last years of his life were marked by an increasing mental illness, which led to Lorberg being sent to an institution for a year. That this circumstance prompted the University of Bonn to fill the professorship for theoretical physics elsewhere, embittered him and also caused him to withdraw completely from life.
Hermann Lorberg died completely lonely in an "accident" that was "due to his illness".
