Konrad Bernhauer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konrad Bernhauer (born August 26, 1900 in Mährisch Neustadt , Austro-Hungarian Monarchy , † May 8, 1975 in Stuttgart ) was a chemist who taught as a professor in Prague and later in Stuttgart.

Life

After military service in World War I studied Konrad Bernhauer Natural Sciences at the German University in Prague , where he in 1925 received his doctorate . In 1929 he completed his habilitation on a subject in biochemistry . From 1934 he was a non-civil servant associate professor. After joining the Sudeten German Party (1935) and the NSDAP (1939), he was appointed full professor at the Technical University in Prague in 1941 , where he headed the Institute for Biochemistry and Food Chemistry. He was a Gaudozentenbundführer and rose to the position of SS-Sturmbannführer in the SD .

After the Second World War , Bernhauer, who is assessed by recent research as an ardent National Socialist and apparently denounced colleagues with Jewish connections, was initially interned by the Allies. He then lived in Hessen as a scientific author and industrial consultant . From 1957 until his retirement in 1968 he held a professorship at the TH Stuttgart .
