Abstract
The Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen was founded as early as 1743. Physics, as a separate discipline, existed since 1857. One can track the history of natural sciences in Erlangen according to the biographies of the institution’s respective scientists. The first physics professor was Friedrich Kohlrausch, who died only one year later. Skipping this interesting story, we concentrate on the developments during the first decades in the twentieth century, when research in Erlangen started to focus on solid state physics.
