Otto Hahn Prize

The Otto Hahn Prize has been awarded conjointly by the City of Frankfurt, the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh – German Chemical Society) and the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG – German Physical Society) since 2005.

The medal of the Otto Hahn Prize for Chemistry and Physics.

The prize is named after the Frankfurt-born scientist Otto Hahn, who discovered nuclear fission and won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1944.

According to its statute, the prize serves to “promote science, in particular in the fields of chemistry, physics and applied engineering, by honoring eminent scientific achievements”. It carries a monetary award to the value of €50 000 and is presented every other year in St. Paul’s Church, Frankfurt am Main, alternating each time between physics and chemistry.

The current Otto Hahn Award is the result of the amalgamation of two former prizes which both bore the same name: The Otto Hahn Prize of the City of Frankfurt and the Otto Hahn Prize for Chemistry and Physics.

The following members of the TUM have received one of the Otto Hahn Prizes:

Otto Hahn Prize of the City of Frankfurt (1969–2005)

Otto Hahn Prize for Chemistry and Physics (1953–2005)
