Description

Take a look at the Robert Wilhelm Bunsen statue, which stands in front of the Frishberg building of the old Heidelberg University Science Centre. Robert Wilhelm Eberhard Bunsen was a German chemist. He studied emission spectra of heated elements and, with physicist Gustav Kirchhoff, discovered cesium and rubidium. The Bunsen-Kirchhoff Spectral Prize is named after Bunsen and Kirchhoff. Ben also developed a variety of gas analysis methods, was a pioneer in photochemistry, and carried out early work in the field of organic arsenic chemistry. Together with his laboratory assistant Peter Desaga, he developed the Bunsen Burner, an improvement on the laboratory burners used at the time.

Ben was born in 1811 in Gottingen, in what is now Lower Saxony. Bunsen is the youngest of four sons of Christian Bunsen, chief librarian, and professor of modern linguistics at the University of Gottingen. After attending school at Holzminden, Ben enrolled at the University of Gottingen in 1828, where he studied chemistry with Friedrich Strohmeier, mineralogy with Johann Friedrich Ludwig Hausmann, and mathematics with Carl Friedrich Gauss. After receiving his doctorate in 1831, Ben traveled to France in 1832, Germany in 1833, and Austria in 1833. During his travels, Bunsen met the scientist Friedlieb Runge (who discovered aniline and isolated caffeine in 1819), Justus von Liebig of Giessen, and Eilhard Mitscherlich of Bonn. This great Robert Wilhelm Bunsen statue is full of monumental significance. You can put the Robert Wilhelm Bunsen statue outside so that more people can see it. If you like it, welcome to contact us.
