Life

Uhlmann studied mathematics at the University of Hamburg and received his doctorate there in 1955 . He completed his habilitation in 1961 at the University of Hamburg with a paper on stochastic processes for applied mathematics . He then taught at the Technical University of Braunschweig and at the Technical University of Karlsruhe , before accepting an appointment at the University of Würzburg in 1965. There he held the chair of statistics until 1996, the year he retired . He is considered to be one of the founders of statistical quality control, which was his main research focus.

Uhlmann was also rector of the University of Würzburg from 1969 to 1971 . During this time he initiated, among other things, fundraising campaigns that later rebuilt the new church that was destroyed in the war . Uhlmann's services were honored by the university in 1990 with the Bene Merenti gold medal.

Uhlmann was a member of the Bavarian University Planning Commission from 1973 to 1987, and in 1976 he became its chairman.

After his retirement in 1996, Uhlmann devoted himself more to his collection of Asian and African edged weapons and published a three-volume work on this topic in 1999, 2001 and 2003.
