About the professors Theodor Zincke, Edmund Stengel, Hermann Cohen, Franz Melde, Heinrich Weber, Theobald Fischer, Ferdinand Justi, Max Lenzand Benedikt Niese and the son Werner Achelis (source: wikipedia):
Ernst Carl Theodor Zincke (*19. May 1843 in Uelzen; † 17. March 1928 in Marburg) was a German chemist who worked as a professor at the University of Marburg from 1875 to 1913. The Zincke reaction, the Zincke-Suhl reaction and the Zincke nitration are named after him.
Life: Theodor Zincke was born in Uelzen in 1843. He initially completed an apprenticeship as a pharmacist and from 1863 was employed at a pharmacy in Clausthal, where he worked primarily in the laboratory. At the Clausthal Mining Academy he took part in courses in metallurgy, mineralogy, chemistry and geology as a guest student. In 1865 he worked at a pharmacy in Hamburg, and two years later he enrolled at the University of Göttingen. He studied pharmacy and completed further studies in chemistry, where his teachers included Friedrich Wöhler. During his studies he became a member of the Brunsviga fraternity in Göttingen in 1867.
In 1869 he received his doctorate in Göttingen under Rudolph Fittig, then he went to the University of Bonn and worked there in the group of August Kekulé. After completing his habilitation in Bonn in 1872 and being appointed associate professor a year later, he became a full professor at the University of Marburg three years later, where he remained until his retirement in 1913. His successor in 1913 was Karl von Auwers, previously director of the Chemical Institute at the University of Greifswald.
Theodor Zincke died in Marburg in 1928. His students included Karl Theophil Fries and the later Nobel Prize winner Otto Hahn, who received his doctorate under Zincke in 1901.
Scientific achievement
Zincke-Suhl reaction: Theodor Zincke was admitted to the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina in 1883. Various reactions in organic chemistry are named after him, such as the Zincke-Suhl reaction, a special case of Friedel-Crafts alkylation, Zinke nitration, Zincke disulfide cleavage and the Zincke reaction or Zincke-König reaction. Cleavage is the ring opening of pyridine compounds to form so-called Zincke salts. This reaction is important, among other things, in pharmaceutical analysis and is described, for example, in the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur. NT) mentioned in the monograph on nicotinamide.
Edmund Max Stengel (*5. April 1845 in Halle (Saale); † 3. November 1935 in Marburg) was a German Romanist.
Life and work: Edmund Stengel was the son of Hermann Stengel and Ida Voigt, a daughter of Friedrich Sigmund Voigt and Susette von Loevenich. studied in Bonn with Friedrich Diez and Nikolaus Delius and received his doctorate in 1868 with the work Vocalism of the Latin element in the most important Romance dialects of Graubünden and Tyrol, drawn up and supported by numerous examples using the related Romance languages. In 1873 he received a double professorship for English and Romance philology at the University of Marburg and in 1880 a professorship for Romance philology. In 1896 he went to the University of Greifswald as the successor to Eduard Koschwitz (who became his successor in Marburg), where he retired in 1913. He was also a member of the district council and from 1897 to 1919 a member of the Greifswald Citizens' Council. From 1907 to 1911, as a member of the Rügen constituency, he represented the Free People's Party in the German Reichstag and was editor of the magazine of the Association for the Defense of Anti-Semitism. In 1913 he became a Privy Councilor. Edmund Stengel was married to Ida Herrmann, whose children were Edmund E. Stengel and Walter Stengel.
Joseph Hengesbach and Otto Böckel received their doctorates from him.
He had been a member of the Marburg Rheinfranken fraternity since 1880.

Hermann Cohen (born on the 4th July 1842 in Coswig; died on the 4th April 1918 in Berlin-Schöneberg) was a German philosopher. He was - together with Paul Natorp - the school leader of Marburg Neo-Kantianism, but is also considered one of the most important representatives of Jewish philosophy in the 20th century. Century.
Life: Hermann Cohen was the son of the Jewish teacher and cantor Gerson Cohen and his Jewish wife Friederike. He attended the high school in Dessau, the Matthias High School in Breslau and the Jewish Theological Seminary in Breslau before beginning his studies at the University of Breslau in 1861. He studied Jewish religion, classical studies and philosophy in Breslau and Berlin, where he was particularly impressed by Friedrich Adolf Trendelenburg (1802–1872).und Heymann Steinthal (1823–1899). He also studied with August Boeckh, Emil Heinrich Du Bois-Reymond, Moriz Haupt and Karl Friedrich Werder before receiving his doctorate in Halle in 1865. phil. received his doctorate and initially published several articles in the journal for ethnic psychology and linguistics founded by Heymann Steinthal and Moritz Lazarus.
In 1870, with a contribution to the controversy between Friedrich Adolf Trendelenburg and Kuno Fischer over problems of interpreting Immanuel Kant's critical philosophy, Cohen came into the spotlight of a Kant renaissance that encompassed the entire academic philosophy in Germany. Cohen proposed a new interpretation of Kant, which he also aimed for in his publication Kant's Theory of Experience the following year. The great impression that this work made on Kant research gave Cohen the opportunity to complete his habilitation in 1873, soon after Friedrich Albert Lange's appointment to Marburg, with a thesis on the systematic concepts in Kant's pre-critical writings, which then happened was also carried out in 1873.
Since Friedrich Albert Lange had described him as his “intellectual successor,” Cohen was appointed his successor after Lange's death in 1876, so that from that year he was professor of philosophy at the University of Marburg. There he founded the Marburg School of Neo-Kantianism by continuing his Kant studies according to the model of the “Three Critiques”, asking about the historical conditions of Kant's philosophical concerns and thus making historicism usable for systematic philosophy. In the following years he published several works on Kant's more current positioning. For example, in 1877 “Kant’s Justification of Ethics” and 1889 “Kant’s Justification of Aesthetics”. In 1912, the later Russian Nobel Prize winner for literature Boris Pasternak studied with Cohen for a semester. The later mayor of Berlin, Ernst Reuter, was also one of his students and admirers.
In 1878, Cohen married the eighteen-year-old Martha Lewandowski (murdered in Theresienstadt on December 12th). September 1942), a daughter of the composer Louis Lewandowski.
When he retired in 1912, the much celebrated but not undisputed Cohen was unable to get his student Ernst Cassirer to succeed him in his chair (Cohen's successor was Erich Rudolf Jaensch in 1912). He moved to Berlin to teach at the University for the Study of Judaism, of which he was also a member, and to focus more on religious philosophy.
Work: The main philosophical work includes the early works of Kant's theory of experience, Kant's justification of ethics and Kant's justification of aesthetics, which are dedicated to the "re-foundation of critical idealism", as well as the writings of an independent "system of philosophy" that further develops Kant's philosophy. namely Logic of pure knowledge, Ethics of pure will and Aesthetics of pure feeling, and numerous other smaller and more extensive writings. Since 1977, Olms Verlag has published an edition of his works edited by Helmut Holzhey and others.
Cohen's Neo-Kantianism interpreted Kant's Categorical Imperative in such a way that he demanded: “Make self-legislation in the person of every human being your aim.” This resulted in Marburg Neo-Kantianism using Kant's philosophy to establish a political and social program that was close to socialism. While the “red Kantians” Karl Vorländer and Franz Staudinger stood for a Marburg tradition of politically advocating philosophy for social reform, which also influenced the later Bavarian revolutionary and Prime Minister Kurt Eisner, Cohen spoke to a broader public primarily for the right of the Jews to be able to be German even without Christian baptism. For Cohen, the ethical idealism that he saw as theoretically founded by Kant was just as anchored in German culture as it was in the Jewish religion, the “fiery of the moral enthusiasm of the prophets.”
“This is how the Jews pray on their most holy days: 'So that all created things may unite in one covenant'. And so the final prayer every day is: 'that the world may be founded on the kingdom of God'. Monotheism has become messianism. Because in messianism the prophetic Jew thinks the goal of one humanity is 'at the end of days'. And every day in human life, in the life of a nation, must move towards this end, this goal. This is our belief in the only God of one humanity. – What does Israel mean to humanity? Nothing other and nothing less than the messenger of this ambiguous unity [monotheism and messianism]. This message is the meaning of his [Israel’s] election.”
– Hermann Cohen: Monotheism and Messianism.
Cohen's most important contribution to Jewish religious philosophy was his 1919 book The Religion of Reason from the Sources of Judaism, published within the outline of the overall science of Judaism. The second edition, edited by Bruno Strauss, has the corrected title Religion of Reason from the Sources of Judaism.
Franz Emil Melde (*11. March 1832 in Großenlüder near Fulda; † 17. March 1901 in Marburg) was a German physicist and professor at the University of Marburg.
Life: Melde received his doctorate in 1859 at the University of Marburg with the thesis About some curved surfaces, which are intersected by planes parallel to a certain plane, as an average figure providing a conic section under Christian Ludwig Gerling. From 1864 he was his successor at the university. During this time, the university experienced a great boom after becoming part of Prussia. He expanded the physics internship and worked on fluid mechanics, meteorology and acoustics. Melde was a practicing musician and studied the Chladnian sound patterns of musical instruments, measured tones of very high frequency and, while working on vibrating strings, discovered the principle of the parametric amplifier (an amplifier in which the input signal periodically changes a component (parameter) of the vibrating system). To do this, he coupled a tuning fork to a vibrating string, which oscillated at twice the resonant frequency of the string. For his measuring devices he received, among other things, a silver medal at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893.
He is best known for an experiment demonstrating standing waves, which was named after him in his honor. This experiment allows the determination of the pattern of a standing wave and the measurement of the speed of a transverse wave on a filament and provides insights into the interference of mechanical waves.
In 1885 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina.

Heinrich Martin Georg Weber (*5. March 1842 in Heidelberg; † 17. May 1913 in Strasbourg) was a German mathematician.
Life. Heinrich Weber was the son of the historian Georg Weber. His brother was the writer Friedrich Percy Weber. In 1860 he studied in Heidelberg, Leipzig and Königsberg. During his studies he became a member of the Allemannia Heidelberg fraternity. He completed his habilitation in Heidelberg in 1866 and became an associate professor there in 1869, but accepted the call to the ETH Zurich in the same year. There in 1870 he married Emilie Dittenberger, the daughter of the Weimar court preacher Theophor Wilhelm Dittenberger, who gave him his son Rudolf Heinrich Weber in 1874.
From 1875 to 1883 he worked at the Albertus University of Königsberg; Felix Klein described this period as “his best years”. The important work “Theory of the algebraic functions of a variable” with Richard Dedekind also falls during this time. In 1880/81 he was vice-rector of the Albertina. In 1883 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina. The following years took him to the Technical University of Charlottenburg and the Philipps University of Marburg. He was rector there in 1890/91. He moved to the Georg-August University of Göttingen and, in 1895, to the Kaiser Wilhelm University of Strasbourg. In 1900/01 he was rector here for the third time.
In 1895 and 1904 he was chairman of the German Mathematicians' Association.
Work: Weber's work covers a broad Spektrum within mathematics, and he also worked intensively on connecting different areas. The work “Theory of the algebraic functions of a variable” (together with Dedekind) represents an algebraic foundation of the theory of Riemann surfaces up to the Riemann-Roch theorem. He also contributed significantly to the development of class field theory.
Weber's work and in particular his algebra textbook from 1895, which was a standard work for a long time, also influenced the terminology; According to Hans Wußing, the term normal divider is said to come from Weber.
The Kronecker-Weber theorem and - somewhat inconsistently - other theorems and various functions are named after Weber.
Theobald Fischer (*31. January 1846 in Kirchsteitz near Zeitz; † 17. September 1910 in Marburg) was a German geographer who dealt with the countries of the Mediterranean region.
Biography: Fischer, the son of a landowner (and mayor in Kirchsteitz), initially studied history and philosophy in Heidelberg, Halle and Bonn, where he received his doctorate in history in 1868 (Quales se praebuerint principes stirpis Wettinicae Rudolpho et Adolpho regibus). During his studies he became a member of the Allemannia Heidelberg fraternity and the Alemannia auf dem Pflug Halle fraternity.[1] He then turned to geography, from 1868 onwards he traveled extensively in North Africa and around the Mediterranean and completed his habilitation in Bonn in 1876 (contributions to the physical geography of the Mediterranean countries, especially Sicily). He then became the first German private lecturer in geography. He became a full professor of geography in Kiel and in Marburg in 1883. Further research trips in the Mediterranean region followed (1886 Tunisia, Sahara, 1888 in Morocco, Algeria, 1899, 1901). In 1887 he had a significant influence on the founding of the Old Fraternity Association. In 1894/95 he was rector of the University of Marburg. He became an honorary member of the Arminia Marburg fraternity.
He is considered one of the founders of modern geography in Germany and the view of the Mediterranean region as a geographical unit. As a geographer he was essentially self-taught, but his writings show influences from Carl Ritter, Oscar Peschel, Ferdinand von Richthofen and Friedrich Ratzel.
He was also nicknamed the Morocco Fisherman and was influential in German colonial policy. He advocated the German colonization of Morocco and founded the Morocco Society in 1902. Since the 1880s, he gave numerous lectures on the plans for German colonies in North Africa, and increasingly so around the turn of the century. The Pan-German Association joined this and the efforts led to conflicts with France and England from 1904 to 1906 (First Moroccan Crisis). He was a founding member of the German Colonial Association and chairman of its Marburg branch.
He also published on the history of cartography from the Middle Ages and was a member of the Accademia dei Lincei since 1907. He was also awarded the Carl Ritter Medal in silver (1903) and the Eduard Rüppell Medal.
A shard of Fischer's estate with sketch maps and a collection of photographs, among other things, is now in the Geographical Archives of the Leibniz Institute for Regional Studies in Leipzig.
Ferdinand Wilhelm Jacob Justi (*2. June 1837 in Marburg; † 17. February 1907 ibid) was a German orientalist who was also a performer and researcher of rural farming culture in Hesse at the end of the 19th century. Century became known.
Life and work: Ferdinand Justi studied linguistics at the Philipps University of Marburg and the Georg-August University of Göttingen. He joined the Marburger Wingolf. In 1861 he completed his habilitation in Marburg, where he became an associate professor of comparative grammar and German philology in 1865 and a full professor in 1869. In 1875 he was elected a corresponding member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences. In 1887/88 he served as rector. In 1898 he was accepted as a corresponding member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences.
In addition to his university work, he meticulously studied the life of the Hessian rural population in the last third of the 19th century. During the 19th century, especially in the immediate and wider area of Marburg, he wrote down his observations and recorded them in countless sketches and watercolors. His main motifs included buildings, furnishings, agricultural equipment and, above all, hinterland costumes with their colors, subtleties and accessories.
He was married to Helene Schepp. Their son Ludwig Justi was an art historian.
Ferdinand Justi's estate is part of the Justi family archive and is kept as a deposit in the Hessian State Archives in Marburg (inventory 340 Justi).

Max Albert Wilhelm Lenz (*13. June 1850 in Greifswald; † 6. April 1932 in Berlin) was a German historian.
Life: Max Lenz was born as the son of the lawyer Gustav Lenz (1818–1888) and his wife Johanna Adlich, a farmer's daughter from the island of Wollin, and grew up in a strict Lutheran-Orthodox environment. Father Gustav Lenz was counted among the Young Hegelians and had to break off his civil service career after the revolutionary events of 1848/49.
Lenz attended school in his hometown and then studied history and classical philology in Bonn. Heinrich von Sybel was one of his university professors there. In 1870 he took part in the Franco-Prussian War as a volunteer with a Pomeranian hunter battalion. After recovering from an injury sustained in December 1870, Lenz continued his studies in Greifswald and Berlin and completed his studies in 1874 with a dissertation on the Alliance of Canterbury and its significance for the Anglo-French War and the Council of Constanz. In Greifswald, a long-lasting friendship with his future historian colleague Hans Delbrück was established, which influenced the respective works.
Thanks to the mediation of his former university professor Heinrich von Sybel, who was appointed director of the Prussian state archives in 1875, Lenz ended up in the secret state archives in Marburg as an 'auxiliary worker'. There he worked on the correspondence between Landgrave Philip the Magnanimous and Martin Bucer, the reformer of Hesse. The resulting source edition was published in three volumes from 1880 to 1891.
Lenz had already completed his habilitation in Marburg in 1876 with a thesis on three treatises from the cycle of publications of the Constanz Council for Middle and Modern History. He initially taught as a private lecturer, from 1881 as an associate professor, and from 1885 as a full professor at the Philipps University of Marburg. In 1887 he became a member of the Philological-Historical Association, which later became part of the Marburg Rheinfranken fraternity. After temporarily holding the chair for modern history in Breslau from 1888, Lenz became professor of modern history in Berlin in 1890. In 1911 he was director of the historical seminar, and in 1911/12 he was rector of the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin.
In 1914 Lenz moved to the Hamburg Colonial Institute, which was expanded into a university with his help. After retiring in 1922, Lenz returned to Berlin, where he died in 1932.
In 1896, the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences accepted Max Lenz as a full member for the history department. From 1914 to 1925 he had the status of an honorary member of this academy, and in 1925 he became a full member again. Since 1890 he was a corresponding member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences. In 1931 he received the Bavarian Maximilian Order for Science and Art.
The marriage in 1879 to the pianist Emma Rohde (1859–1934), daughter of the agriculture professor Ottomar Rohde, resulted in four sons and a daughter, including the future economist Friedrich Lenz (1885–1968).
Work: Max Lenz was - alongside Erich Marcks - the leading representative of a generation of historians who were referred to as young or neo-Rankeans and who later brought about the so-called Ranke Renaissance of historiography. In turning away from the consciously tendentious, political historiography of the Little German, Borussian school of German historiography, whose most extroverted representative was Heinrich von Treitschke, Lenzen's colleague during his time as a university professor in Berlin, the aim was to return to the ideal of objectivity postulated by Leopold von Ranke. Historiography should be free from ethically based partisanship; the historian should independently and non-partisan track down and observe the forces at work in history, especially the ideas. Peoples, states and religions were seen as embodying these ideas. In contrast to Ranke, for whom religious beliefs were fundamental to the ideas and tendencies of an era, the Neo-Rankeans looked for the ideas that were relevant to them primarily in traces of the so-called main and state actions that could be traced back to sources. The nation state was elevated to a quasi-religious force, which was realized through the state's striving for power, which was described as an objective fact. The increasing transfer of such historical considerations to foreign policy made the Neorankeans and especially Max Lenz one of the 'chief ideologists of Wilhelminism', the legitimizer of Wilhelmine 'world policy'.
Lenz and his colleagues opposed the reception of 'materialist', cultural, social and structural historical ideas in German-language historiography even more vehemently than against the Little German-Borussian historiography. Lenz took a leading role in a 'defensive battle' that was anything but independent and non-partisan, certainly not objective, but rather often personal and defamatory, to preserve the sovereignty of defining one's own ideas, which culminated in the so-called Lamprecht dispute.
Lenz initially gained historiographical recognition primarily with biographical research on Martin Luther, Wallenstein and Gustav Adolf. His biography of Luther, first published in 1883, was widely distributed and became downright popular thanks to the visual art of language. Soon afterwards, Lenz made a chronological shift from Luther to Bismarck (also the title of one of his writings). It was on this stage, so to speak, that he published a remarkable biography of Napoleon. Lenz expanded his Bismarck article written for the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (Volume 46, 1902, pp. 571–775) into the first Bismarck biography with scientific standards.
A “History of the University of Berlin” ultimately became Max Lenz’s main work. This was created on behalf of the University Senate to celebrate the institution's centenary and was initially published in four volumes in 1910; a fifth volume was not published until 1918 after a delay caused by the First World War. The work enjoys the status of “a political intellectual and cultural history of the 19th century.” century until 1860” (Rüdiger vom Bruch). Nevertheless, this work also contains a description of the career and person of the lawyer and historian Eduard Gans, which is interspersed with anti-Semitic tones.
Max Lenz's students included well-known historians such as Erich Brandenburg, Hermann Oncken and Felix Rachfahl.
Jürgen Anton Benedikt Niese, also Benedictus Niese (*24. November 1849 in Burg auf Fehmarn, Holstein; † 1. February 1910 in Halle) was a German classical philologist and ancient historian.
Life: After studying history and classical philology in Kiel and Bonn, which he completed with a doctorate in Kiel in 1872, Niese passed his teaching examination in 1873 and stayed in Italy and Paris from autumn 1873 to the beginning of 1876. In 1876 he completed his habilitation in Göttingen and the following year became an associate professor of ancient history and classical philology in Marburg, and in 1880 a full professor. In 1881 he accepted a position as professor of classical philology in Breslau, but returned to Marburg in 1885 after Eugen Bormann's departure, where he was dean of the philosophical faculty in 1890 and rector in 1901. On Winckelmann Day 1899 he was appointed a full member of the German Archaeological Institute. From 1906 until his death he was Ulrich Wilcken's successor as professor of ancient history in Halle. He had been a corresponding member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences since 1901 and of the Prussian Academy of Sciences since 1905.
Niese dealt with both philological topics (Homer, edition of Flavius Josephus) and Greek and Roman history. In the Handbook of Classical Studies he edited the outline of Roman history originally written by Robert Pöhlmann in 3. (1906) and 4. Edition (1910).
His father was Emil August Niese (1816–1869), pastor in the then Danish Burg auf Fehmarn and later seminar director in Eckernförde. His mother Benedicte Marie Niese was born Matthiessen. The writer Charlotte Niese was his sister.
