Hermann Otto Laurenz Fischer papers, circa 1920-1952 (bulk 1920-1932).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/503168629

Consists primarily of dissertations and notebooks that appear to be from Fischer's students during his tenure as Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Berlin, from ca. 1920 to 1932. Most of the notebooks are labeled "Tagebuch," and appear to contain research notes. The collection also includes two folders of printed matter: one contains two copies of an article by Fischer and Carl Taube entitled "Über Glyoxal" ("On Glyoxal"), published in 1926 in Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft (Reports of the German Association of Chemists); the other contains a bound copy of an essay by Burckhardt Helferich entitled "Emil Fischer, sein Leben und seine wissenschaftlichen Leistungen" ("Emil Fischer, His Life and His Scientific Accomplishments"), with an inscription by Hermann Fischer dated 1952. Emil Fischer, a Nobel-Prize-winning chemist, was Hermann Fischer's father. In addition, the collection includes, as a separate volume, Fischer's copy of Die chemischen Laboratorien des Eidgenössischen Polytechnikums in Zürich (The Chemistry Laboratories of the State Polytechnic Institute in Zurich), edited by F. Bluntschli, G. Lasius, and Dr. G. Lunge, published in 1889.

Hermann Otto Laurenz Fischer was born in 1888 in Würzburg, Bavaria. His father was Emil Fischer, who would go on to win the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1902. Hermann Fischer was educated at the universities of Cambridge and Berlin, and received his doctorate in chemistry at Jena in 1912. During World War I he served in the German army's chemical warfare unit; his two older brothers died during the war, events which contributed to his father's suicide in 1919. Soon after the war Fischer was app...
