from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stefan Ludwig von Bogdándy (Hungarian Bogdándy István ) (born September 11, 1890 in Kolozsvár , Kingdom of Hungary , † August 4, 1933 in Berlin , Germany ) was a Hungarian doctor and physical chemist . He was a close colleague of Michael Polanyi and also belonged to the inner circle around Fritz Haber at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry . With Polanyi "he developed the highly dilute flame techniques, originally developed by Haber and Bosch , into a powerful tool for the study of simple reaction rates through chemiluminescence."

He was born as the son of the aristocratic Hungarian tax officer Alexander Bogdándy of Nagydoba and his wife Maria Abrahám-Pattantyus of Danczka in Kolozsvár (now Cluj-Napoca , Romania ) and grew up there. The family was Catholic. He studied medicine at the Royal Hungarian Franz Joseph University in Kolozsvár, and was brought to Berlin by Haber in the 1920s.

He was the father of the industrial manager Ludwig von Bogdandy and the grandfather of the lawyer Armin von Bogdandy .
