life

of Laue studiedat the university Strasbourg physics and concerned itself after its removal to Goettingen in particular with the optics. it with Max Planck in Berlin attained a doctorate to 1903 over the theory of the interference at flat-parallel plates and took over 1905 with its doctor fatheran assistant place. After its Habilitation 1906 it employed with relativity theory Albert Einsteins and developed 1907 with optical experiments important proofs for the correctness of the Einstein addition theorem. 1909 he came as a private lecturer to Institut for theoretical physicsthe University of Munich.

In the year 1912 he discovered the diffraction of X-ray at crystals together with Friedrich and Knipping. Thus both the wave character of the x-ray and the lattice structure of the crystals were proven. For his work received fromLaue 1914 the Nobelpreis for physics. 1919 returned from Laue to Berlin, where he extended his original “geometrical theory” of the Roentgen interference to the “dynamic theory so mentioned”. 1921 it was honoured with the Adolf of Baeyer Denkmünze and 1932 with the Max-Planck medal.While the rule of the national socialists it occurred prematurely 1943 for Albert Einstein and “Jewish physics” and was therefore emeritiert. During the time of his internment by the British in farm resound wrote it a history of physics.

AfterEnd of war took part he actively in the reconstruction of the German science enterprise. Thus it created the “German physical society in the British zone” and took part and. A. at the reestablishment of the “federation of Germans of physical societies” as well as at the reestablishment thatThe Federal Standards Laboratory in Braunschweig and the German research council. 1951 became of Laue a director at the Fritz-Haber-Institute of the Max-Planck company in Berlin Dahlem. In addition it was honour member of the free University of Berlin, which it 1958 lent. Institut Laue Langevin in Grenoblecarries his names. Briefly before its death with a car accident the max of Laue High School in Koblenz was designated after it.
