from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter Grösser (born May 17, 1892 in Krefeld , † August 3, 1987 in Aachen ) was a German professor of electrical engineering .

He studied from 1911 to 1921, interrupted by the First World War , in Bonn , Jena and at the TH Aachen . In May 1921 he received his doctorate at the University of Jena with the thesis The damping of two capacitively coupled oscillating circuits with predominant coupling and on pulling the intermediate circuit tube transmitter with capacitive coupling .

From April 1921 to the end of November 1938 he worked as an assistant, senior assistant and senior engineer at the Institute for Electrical Engineering at the TH Aachen. By 1925 he had developed a cathode ray oscillograph with Walter Rogowski's assistant Eugen Flegler . In May 1928 he completed his habilitation in the field of theoretical electrical engineering . In 1933 he joined the NSDAP .

In 1938 he was appointed to a specialty for electrical telecommunications technology and in 1941 he was proposed to be a full professor. After the Second World War, Grösser went through a denazification process . After the revision of his classification, he was able to resume his work in 1950 and was appointed full professor for theoretical electrical engineering in 1959 and retired a year later.
