Ludwig Kratz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Ferdinand Kratz (born May 11, 1911 in Jena , † August 12, 1957 in Mainz ) was a German chemist .

life and work

His specialty was physical chemistry , especially electrochemistry . In 1936 he received his doctorate in Jena . He is known as the author of the standard work The Glass Electrode and its Applications (Steinkopff, Frankfurt, 1950).

He belonged to the "train of 41 glassmakers", which took place on 25/26 June 1945 by the US armed forces from Jena to Heidenheim an der Brenz in western Germany. He then worked at Schott AG's Landshut plant . In 1952, the new company headquarters in Mainz went into operation, where he headed the glass apparatus department from 1954 to 1957.

His two sons Karl-Ludwig and Jens Volker are professors at the Institute for Nuclear Chemistry at the University of Mainz .
