Edmund Oscar von Lippmann

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edmund Oscar von Lippmann, Edmund Oskar von Lippmann, or Edmund O. von Lippmann (Vienna January 9, 1857 - Halle September 24, 1940) was a German chemist and natural science historian.

He studied at the ETH Zurich and took a degree in 1878 under Robert Bunsen at Heidelberg University. Lippmann ran large sugar refineries, in Duisburg and later in Halle. During this phase of his career he was granted the title of professor in 1901. From 1926-1933, he taught as a volunteer at Martin Luther University in Halle. In 1935, under the new Nazi regime he was stripped of the authority to teach because of his Jewish ancestry.

Sometimes erroneously cited as Edmund Otto von Lippmann.
