Life

Maja Krumnacker graduated from high school in Zwickau in 1949. In the same year she began studying metallogy at the Bergakademie Freiberg , which she graduated with a diploma in 1955. Until 1956 she stayed as a research assistant at the Institute for Metallurgy and Materials Testing at the Bergakademie. At the end of 1956 she moved to Leipzig, where she worked at VEB Metallgusswerk until 1963 and from 1962 headed the materials testing department.

As a consultant for the distance learning course in materials science, she stayed in close contact with her old university. In 1962 she completed her doctorate with the title Magma cum laude . A year later she returned to Freiberg, where she qualified as a professor in 1967 and from 1968 worked as a university lecturer in metal science.

In 1978 she was the first woman to be appointed professor for the field of metallurgy of non-ferrous materials at the Freiberg Mining Academy. Until her retirement in 1991, she remained the only female professor at her university.

Maja Krumnacker gave 40 lectures at symposia and conferences and wrote 65 publications. From 1973 to 1991 she was chairman of the editorial board of the trade journal Neue Hütte . Long after her retirement, from 2000 to 2005, she held a teaching position at the Staatliche Studienakademie Riesa .
