Wolfgang Ruppel (born February 18, 1929 in Hamburg ) is a German experimental physicist who deals with solid state physics.

Ruppel studied in Karlsruhe , Grenoble and Braunschweig and, after completing his doctorate in 1955, was a research assistant at the RCA laboratories in Zurich and at Princeton University . After completing his habilitation in Karlsruhe in 1964 ( photovoltage in photoconductors ), he became a full professor of applied physics there in 1965. As a solid-state physicist, he mainly dealt with electronic transport processes in photoconductors . With Gottfried Falk , he developed the Karlsruhe physics course in Karlsruhe and wrote several textbooks on physics education with him. In 1995 he retired.
