Carl Ramsauer

[1][2] From 1928 to 1945, he was director of the research division of the Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG), an electric combine with headquarters in Berlin and Frankfurt am Main.

As president, Ramsauer and his deputy Wolfgang Finkelnburg took an independent course of action from the party line and against Deutsche Physik, which was anti-Semitic and had a bias against theoretical physics, especially including quantum mechanics.

The petition, a letter and six attachments,[8] addressed the atrocious state of physics instruction in Germany, which Ramsauer concluded was the result of politicization of education.

The former journal, founded in 1919, was directed to industrial physicists and engineers, and it was a publication of the German Society of Technical Physics (Deutsche Gesellschaft für technische Physik).
