German physisist born in 1868 in Rostock and died in 1957 in Freiburg im Breisgau in Germany. He studied natural science and mathematics in  Rostock and Heidelberg. He obtained his doctate in 1891 in Heidelberg. From 1892  to 1902 he was an assistent at the Physics Institute at the Technical University  of Karlsruhe. In 1897 he obtained his Habilitation for theoretical physics. In  1902 he became a special professor (Extraordinarius) at the University of  Greifswald where he wrote his famous paper on particle light scattering. In 1917  he became Professor at the University of Halle and in 1924 he joined the University of Freiburg.
