Germany's achievements in science & technology: Ingenieurwissenschaft, Physics (Physik): Chemistry, Mathematics Engineering (Ingenieurwissenschaft):
Physics (Physik): The work of Albert Einstein and Max Planck was crucial to the foundation of modern physics, which Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger developed further. They were preceded by such key physicists as Hermann von Helmholtz, Joseph von Fraunhofer, and Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit, among others. Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered X-rays, an accomplishment that made him the first winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901 and eventually earned him an element name, roentgenium. Heinrich Rudolf Hertz's work in the domain of electromagnetic radiation were pivotal to the development of modern telecommunication.
Engineering (Ingenieurwissenschaft)
Germany has been the home of many famous inventors and engineers, such as Johannes Gutenberg, who is credited with the invention of movable type printing in Europe; Hans Geiger, the creator of the Geiger counter; and Konrad Zuse, who built the first computer.[6] German inventors, engineers and industrialists such as Zeppelin, Daimler, Diesel, Otto, Wankel, Braun and Benz helped shape modern automotive and air transportation technology.
Chemistry
At the start of the 20th century, Germany garnered fourteen of the first thirty-one Nobel Prizes in Chemistry, starting with Hermann Emil Fischer in 1901 and until Carl Bosch and Friedrich Bergius in 1931. Otto Hahn is considered a pioneer of radioactivity and radiochemistry.
Mathematics
Mathematics
Numerous important mathematicians were born in Germany, including Gauss, Hilbert, Riemann, Weierstrass and Weyl.
