Hermann Rose (mineralogist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Conrad Hermann Rose (born September 18, 1883 in Hoheneggelsen ; † March 24, 1976 in Hamburg ) was a German mineralogist , crystallographer and university professor .

Life

Born in Hoheneggelsen am Harz , Hermann Rose, son of the farmer Hermann Rose senior, devoted himself to studying mineralogy at the universities of Göttingen , Bonn and Berlin after graduating from high school , which he achieved in 1909 with the academic degree of Dr. phil. completed. He received his doctorate in 1909 under Privy Councilor Johannes Otto Conrad Mügge in Göttingen with a thesis on dispersion and rotational dispersion of some natural active crystals .

Hermann Rose subsequently took up an assistant position at the Mineralogical-Petrographic Institute of the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg , in 1912 he changed to the Mineralogical-Petrographic Institute of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen in the same position. In the next few years, important series of investigations followed on the optical and crystallographic constants of natural and artificial crystals, which immediately made the young researchers known beyond Germany through the precision of their measurements and the accuracy and reliability of their implementation. Hermann Rose, who was employed there until 1922 , interrupted by his military service in World War I , completed his habilitation in 1921 as a private lecturer in mineralogy and petrography with a fundamental thesis on optical and photoelectric investigations on cinnabar, after having published this together with Otto Mügge in the same year important study on the behavior of rhombic sulfur at high pressures and temperatures had appeared.

He then followed a call as an associate professor of mineralogy and petrography at the University of Hamburg . There he was appointed full professor in 1926 and at the same time entrusted with the management of the Mineralogical-Petrographic Institute. Appointments to the universities of Rostock and Tübingen followed, which he refused. In 1952 he retired . Rose, whose research spanned crystallography, mineralogy, rock and mineral history and geochemistry , was accepted as a corresponding member in 1940 as a corresponding member of the Göttingen Society of Sciences (today Göttingen Academy of Sciences ).

Rose came in the wake of the seizure of power by the Nazis in 1933 the NSDAP in. In November 1933 he signed the German professors' confession of Adolf Hitler .

Hermann Rose had been married to Ilse Neye since 1924 and had a daughter and a son with her. He died in Hamburg in 1976 at the age of 92.

Honors

  • On the occasion of his 70th birthday in 1953, his students put together a festschrift dedicated to him, which appeared as Volume 1 of the Hamburg Contributions to Applied Mineralogy and Crystal Physics (337 pages, Gebr. Borntraeger, 1956).
  • In 1972 Rose was made an honorary member of the German Mineralogical Society .
  • The Hamburg professor of mineralogy Jochen Schlüter as well as Dieter Pohl and Georg Gebhard described a new mineral from the Tsumeb mine near Tsumeb , Oshikoto region in Namibia, and named it in honor of Rose as Hermannroseit .
