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.
