Irene Rosenberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Irene Rosenberg (born December 2, 1890 - September 30, 1986 in Hollywood , Florida ) was a German chemist .

Career

Irene Rosenberg passed her Abitur in 1909 at what was then the Lessing School , the Karlsruhe girls' high school . She then studied chemistry and on November 27, 1915, with her dissertation on some components of sweet chestnut leaves, she was the first student of the Fridericiana in chemistry with Carl Engler and Georg Bredig to become a Dr.-Ing. PhD. Rosenberg was active in the Karlsruhe local group of the German Association of Women Academics . Because of her Jewish origins , she had to leave this after the National Socialists came to power. Between 1918 and 1921 Rosenberg married the doctor Eric David Adler. The couple had two daughters and a son between 1921 and 1927. Irene Adler later became a medical-technical assistant, presumably because of her husband's work. In 1921 her collaboration was mentioned in one of his essays. In 1938 she managed to escape to the USA with her husband and their youngest daughter Elsbeth. Since all children were born in Karlsruhe, the family probably lived there until they fled. The son and eldest daughter also fled to the USA via Great Britain in 1939.

Irene Adler spent the last years of her life in Florida.
