Werner Berger (born May 4, 1932 in Saude , Guben district ; † January 26, 2021 ) was a German chemist ( macromolecular chemistry , organic chemistry ).

Berger passed his Abitur in 1952 at the workers and farmers faculty in Potsdam. He then studied chemistry at the TH Dresden . After completing his doctorate in 1962, he initially took on a department head at VEB Chemiefaserwerk Premnitz , before moving to the Institute for Textile Chemistry at the TU Dresden in 1967 to become a lecturer in cellulose chemistry, pulp chemistry and the manufacture of man-made fibers . After obtaining his PhD B in 1970, he became a full professor for high polymers and textile chemistrycalled. In addition, he was director of the chemistry section from 1971 to 1976 and head of the Institute for Macromolecular Chemistry and Textile Chemistry from 1990 to 1992. In 1993 he took on a visiting professorship at the ETH Zurich . From 1996 to 2001 he was a managing partner and since 2002 he has been a consultant at BIOP Biopolymer GmbH Dresden.
