During the time of Weimar governing, science in Germany was becoming more and more popular and they produced some of the most revolutionary scientists to date. Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung are arguably the most influential Weimar scientists.
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was a Jewish, Weimar physicist born on 14 March 1879. Einstein was educated at ETH Zurich university, receiving a bachelor's degree. Since he was a Jew, he had to flee Germany to the U.S.A to prevent being sent to a concentration camp. However, this didn’t stop him from following his passion for physics.
It is believed that Einstein collaborated with the Weimar Republic. He has been seen working with leading figures in science, business and politics involved with the Republic. Maybe this was why they were able to make such advancements in the scientific world.
