Life

Peter Brauer was born in Leipzig in 1911. He was the son of Eberhard Brauer and on his mother's side the grandson of Nobel Prize winner Wilhelm Ostwald . In 1935 Brauer completed his dissertation with the title “On the electrical behavior of cuprite crystals” with Rudolf Tomaschek at the Physics Institute of the Technical University of Dresden . He followed this to the Technical University of Munich , where he became a private lecturer in 1940.

After the Second World War , Brauer first worked as a research assistant at CA Steinheil & Sons . In 1951 he again became a private lecturer, now at the TH Karlsruhe , where he was appointed associate professor in 1955. In 1957, Brauer accepted a call to the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg , where he retired in 1976.
