内容简介:
【简介】 The Faculty of Chemistry has a rich history in both teaching and research. The beginnings of chemistry in Heidelberg can be traced back more than 200 years.
With Leopold Gmelin, whose name is familiar to every chemist from his namesake reference books that have been continued to this day, chemistry became an independent subject here in 1817. Even better known is his successor, Robert Wilhelm Bunsen, who established the fame of the University of Heidelberg in the 19th century with respect to natural sciences by spectacular inventions (Bunsen burner, water aspirator) and discoveries (spectral analysis), together with physicists like Gustav Kirchhoff and Hermann Helmholtz.
