Reich, Wilhelm

On January 29, 1935, the anniversary of Haber s death, the Kaiser Wilhelm Society held a memorial service. The Nazis forbade government and university employees from attending, so many officials sent their wives instead. In an audience of almost 500 women sat a few men, including Carl Bosch. It was the closest thing to a public protest that scientists as a group staged during the Third Reich. 

Following the collapse of the Third Reich, for German science, as for many sectors of public life, the need for a new start was essential. The state of Germany s institutions at the end of the war corresponded to the general chaos accompanying the defeat. The various institutes of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society (KWS) originally founded in 1911, the predecessor of the Max Planck Society, were damaged or housed provisionally at different evacuation sites. The years of... 

In the summer of 1892, although reluctant to abandon Wtirzburg, of which he had grown so fond, he accepted an appointment to the greatest professional chair that Kaiser Wilhelm s Reich had to offer, the chair of chemistry in Berlin, vacated by the death of August Wilhelm von Hofmann. Althoff, the director of the Universities Section in the Prussian Ministry of Education, promised the now forty-year-old Fischer a large new Institute.

Maier (1889-1966). He was immediately dismissed from the civil service and arrested in 1933. In 1934, he was able to emigrate to the USA, where he became economics professor at the New School for Social Research in New York (cf. [19], pp. 396-397). As is generally known, the Communist and Social Democratic Parties were branded as subversive right from the start and their members were persecuted systematically. On the basis of what was known as the Reichstag fire regulation of 28 February 1933, the 81 parliamentary seats held by the Communist Party were revoked on 8 March and the assets of the party were confiscated on 26 May. With reference to the Social Democratic Party, the Reich Minister of the Interior, Wilhelm Frick (1877-1946), called on the state governments to ban the party s activities on 22 June ...

In spite of this recognition and its early scientific successes, the KWI for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry still faced difficult conditions, as did all of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institutes in Berlin. On one side loomed the possibility of the Allied Control Council dissolving the Kaiser Wilhelm Society on account of its ambivalent role in the Third Reich. On the other side, the Institute risked being sucked into struggles between multiple more-powerful interest groups, where it could...
