Abstract
The work that A. Wilke and I put in to form the Electrochemical Society (Founded 22 April 1894, and renamed “Deutsche Bunsen-Gesellschaft für Angewandte Physikalische Chemie” in 1902, it is now known as the “Deutsche Bunsen-Gesellschaft für Physikalische Chemie”.), now known as the Bunsen Society, took place partly before and partly after 1895 when the discussion in Lübeck about energetics and my subsequent illness put a considerable discontinuity in my life. However, since the most important part took place before 1895 it seems most appropriate to deal with this now before going on to the new period which followed the move to the new institute and the conquest of a new research field—catalysis.
