The Central Institute for Physics of the Earth (ZIPE) on the Telegrafenberg in Potsdam was a non-university research institute of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR . It existed from 1969 to 1991 and was replaced in 1992 by the all-German GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam .
The Academy Institute was founded in 1969 as part of a reform of the East German Academy of Sciences and brought together all state-wide agendas of the GDR in the field of geophysics and related topics of geodesy and partly geology . The best-known ZIPE director of the 1980s was the geophysicist Heinz Kautzleben .
The institutes united in the ZIPE were:
- Geodetic Institute Potsdam (founded 1870)
- Geomagnetic Institute Potsdam (founded 1888)
- Reich Center for Earthquake Research (founded 1923)
- Geotectonic Institute Berlin
- Institute for Physical Hydrography Berlin
The instruments and the library (geodesy and geomagnetics) that already existed in Potsdam were expanded to include those of the Geotectonic Institute, including the private library of the Greifswald geologist Serge von Bubnoff (1888–1957) and a collection founded by Hans Stille (1876–1966) ( General geology and geological maps ) came. The holdings of the Geodynamic Institute Jena and the Hydrography Berlin remained in place.
After the fall of the Wall and the reunification of Germany , the ZIPE was closed on December 31, 1991 and its employees were dismissed. The land, buildings and equipment were taken over by the GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ), newly founded on January 1, 1992 , which filled all of its positions following new advertisements. Some of the former ZIPE employees found a job again at the GFZ.
In the meantime, further research institutes have been settled here and the federal government has expanded the area into a science park.
