[Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker - a doctoral candidate's recollection]
Abstract:
The author and Sebastian von Hoerner was not only Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker's first doctoral advisee and graduate but the lives and work of Lüst and Weizsäcker were otherwise also interconnected in various ways--for example, the author's term as president of the Max Planck Society coincided with the closing of the Institute at Starnberg. The present contribution attempts to sketch a (subjectively influenced) portrait of the person and scholar Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker from the perspective of his years at Göttingen.
