Waldemar Georg Alphonse Ilberg (born January 29, 1901 in Leipzig ; † November 2, 1967 there ) was a German physicist .

Life

Waldemar Ilberg was the son of Johannes Ilberg , 1916–1924 rector of the Königin-Carola-Gymnasium Leipzig, and his wife Johanna, née Devrient. From 1916 he attended the Königin-Carola-Gymnasium, which he left in 1920 with the school leaving certificate. He then studied mathematics, physics and astronomy at the University of Leipzig until 1923. From 1924 to 1925 he worked as a research assistant and from 1925 to 1929 as a research assistant at the Physics Institute of Leipzig University. In 1925 he received his doctorate from the University of Leipzig at Otto Wiener Dr. phil. with studies on the electro-optical Kerr effect .

From 1929 to 1945 he was a physicist at Telefunken GmbH Berlin, where he headed the physics laboratory from 1930.

In 1945 he returned to the Leipzig Institute and completed his habilitation in physics in 1947. From 1947 to 1951 he held a professorship for electrophysics at the mathematical and natural science department of the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Leipzig, and after its reorganization he was professor with a chair for experimental physics at the mathematical and natural science faculty of the University of Leipzig from 1951 to 1966 .

From 1951 to 1966 he was also director of the Physics Institute. During his term of office, the new building of today's Physics Institute falls, which took place in sections between 1952 and 1956 and which he headed. It is also thanks to him that the lecture experiments on experimental physics were set up.

His grave in the Südfriedhof in Leipzig

Between 1951 and 1953 Ilberg was Vice Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Leipzig. Since 1959 he has been a member of the Scientific Council of the Ministry for National Education of the GDR and since 1960 a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for Physics at the State Secretariat for Higher and Technical Education.

In 1959 he received the Patriotic Order of Merit in bronze , and in 1961 the Dr. Theodor Neubauer Medal in gold.
