Wilhelm Westphal, 1935 at Stuttgart Wilhelm Heinrich Westphal (3 March 1882 in Hamburg – 5 June 1978 in Berlin) was a German physicist. From 1918, he was a professor at the University of Berlin. During the period 1922 to 1924, he was also an expert adviser to the Prussian Ministry of Science, Arts and Culture. From 1928, he was simultaneously a professor at the University of Berlin and the Technical University of Berlin. His position at the former ended when it fell in the Russian sector at the close of World War II, but he achieved emeritus status at the latter in 1955.

From 1902 to 1908, Westphal studied at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, the Universität Stuttgart, and the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität (today, the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. He received his doctorate in 1908, at the University of Berlin, under Arthur Wehnelt; his thesis was on measurements of potential in Wehnelt cylinders.[1] Career After receipt of his doctorate, Westphal became an assistant to Heinrich Rubens at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität, and he did research on thermal radiation and electric discharges in gases. He completed his Habilitation there in 1913 and became a Privatdozent there, and then a titular professor in 1918; his academic career had been interrupted from 1914 to 1918 by military service in World War I. Subsequent to his return to Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität, he received an appointment as an ausserordentlicher Professor (extraordinarius professor) there. Additionally, from 1922 to 1924, he was an expert adviser to the Preußisches Kultusministerium (PrKM, Prussian Culture Ministry, officially the Preußisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Kunst und Volksbildung) and, from 1925 to 1926, physics teacher at the Landschulheim in Salem. From 1928, he was head of the physics demonstrator, i.e., student laboratory.[1][2] In 1928, Westphal and Gustav Hertz together replaced Ferdinand Kurlbaum at the Technische Hochschule Berlin (today, the Technische Universität Berlin); Westphal, however, still retained his position at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität. From 1934, Westphal was simultaneously an ausserordentlicher Professor at the Technische Hochschule Berlin and the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität. From 1935, at the Technische Hochschule Berlin, he was substitute head of the physics department, which Hertz had been forced to vacate due to his Jewish background. His position at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität came to an end at the close of World War II in 1945, as it was then in the Russian sector of the city.[2][3][4] Spanning his career, Westphal’s intimate scientific and social circle included Albert Einstein, Gustav Hertz, Max von Laue, Walther Nernst, and Max Planck.[2] In addition to being a successful textbook author, Westphal was the editor of Volumes 12 through 17 of the Handbuch der Physik, the encyclopedia Physikalisches Wörterbuch, and of the series Die Wissenschaft.[1][2] In 1955, Westphal achieved emeritus status as an extraordinarius professor of physics at the Technische Universität Berlin.[1] Books by Westphal Wilhelm Westphal Physik - Ein Lehrbuch (Springer, 1928, 1937, 1944, 1947, 1953, 1956).
