Everything about Erich Regener totally explained
Erich Rudolf Alexander
Regener (12th November 1881–
27th February 1955) was a
German physicist known primarily for the design and construction of instruments to measure
cosmic ray intensity at various altitudes.
Regener was born in Schleusenar near Bromberg, West Prussia. He studied physics from 1900 to 1905 at the
University of Berlin under
Emil Warburg and from 1909 worked with
Heinrich Rubens. In 1911 he became professor of experimental physics and meteorology at the Agricultural University of Berlin. In 1920 he became the professor in experimental physics at Stuttgart Technische Hochschule working alongside the theoretical physicist
Paul Peter Ewald. During this time, he developed instruments to measure cosmic rays at various altitudes. In 1937 he was forced into "provisional retirement" by the National Socialists. He then founded the private "Research Laboratory for the Physics of the Stratosphere" in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, which later became a part of the
Kaiser Wilhelm Society. In 1939 he was invited to work at the German Army-Air Force rocket research station in Peenemunde where he developed a spectograph protected by a steel casing. This instument, later called the
Regener-Tonne was the first scientific
payload for a
rocket designed to reach high altitude. After a successful test flight the project was cancelled in September 1944 and the rockets were used as long-range missiles against Britain. In 1948 Regener was appointed the first Vice president of the Max Planck Society. He also cofounder of the
Max Planck Institute of Solar System Research with
Walter Dieminger and was instrumental in attracting physicists back to post-war Germany.
He was the father of Victor H Regener
