Josef Herzig
Josef Herzig (born September 25, 1853 in Sanok , Galicia , † July 4, 1924 in Vienna ) was an Austrian chemist.
His father was Mendel Herzig. His mother was probably a sister of Klara Herzig, the mother of Broncia Koller-Pinell . He attended grammar schools in Breslau and Vienna, where Sigmund Freud was his school friend.
From 1874 he studied chemistry in Vienna and from the second semester in Berlin with August Wilhelm von Hofmann . In 1876 he was at the University of Heidelberg with Robert Bunsen . He returned to Vienna at Easter 1877, as an academic student of Ludwig Barth zu Barthenau in 1880, according to other sources as early as 1879, as a Dr. phil. PhD .
He became an assistant at the 1st Chemical University Laboratory in Vienna. After completing his habilitation in 1887, he taught as a private lecturer and, from 1897, as the successor to Hugo Weidel , as an associate professor. In 1899 he married his cousin Etka Pineles (1859-1936), who, like him, was born in Sanok. In 1902 he received a teaching position in pharmaceutical chemistry and the Lieben Prize . In 1913, Emperor Franz Joseph appointed him full professor of pharmaceutical chemistry at the University of Vienna. Among other things, he invented a method for determining methylimide , the Herzig-Meyer reaction named after him and his student Hans Meyer .
