Max von Laue wies 1912 mit der Entdeckung von Interferenzerscheinungen die Wellennatur der Röntgenstrahlen und die atomare Gitterstruktur der Kristalle nach. Damit eröffnete er eine neue Ära der Erforschung des Aufbaus der Materie. Diese Entdeckungen wurden mit dem Physik-Nobelpreis für 1914 gewürdigt und begründeten Laues Weltruhm als exzellenter Theoretischer Physiker. Er setzte sich früh für die Anerkennung der Einsteinschen Relativitätstheorie ein und trat mit grundlegenden theoretischen Arbeiten über Lichtstreuung, Materiewellen und Supraleitung hervor. Eng mit Albert Einstein und Lise Meitner befreundet, gehörte Laue im Nationalsozialismus zu den wenigen in Deutschland verbliebenen Wissenschaftlern, die in den Worten Einsteins „aufrecht blieben“. – Umso erstaunlicher ist es, dass es bisher keine umfassende Lebensdarstellung dieses berühmten Physikers und integeren Menschen gab. English abstract from Google Translate: With the discovery of interference phenomena in 1912, Max von Laue demonstrated the wave nature of X-rays and the atomic lattice structure of the crystals. With this he opened a new era of research into the structure of matter. These discoveries were honored with the 1914 Nobel Prize in Physics and established Laue's world fame as an excellent theoretical physicist. He campaigned for the recognition of Einstein's theory of relativity early on and came out with fundamental theoretical work on light scattering, matter waves and superconductivity. Close friends with Albert Einstein and Lise Meitner, Laue was one of the few scientists who remained in Germany during the Nazi era who “stayed upright” in Einstein's words. - It is all the more astonishing
