• Hermann-Staudinger-Haus: The building is in Freiburg im Breisgau: it was
established in 1962 and houses the Freiburg University Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry. The American Chemical Society and the Society of German
Chemists unveiled a plaque in honour of Hermann Staudinger here on 19 April
1999. This plaque says:
Historic International Milestone in Chemistry – Origin of Polymer Sciences. Albert
Ludwigs University, Freiburg, Baden-Wu ¨rttemberg, 1926–1956: This building has been
named after Hermann Staudinger, who carried out his pioneering research on macromolecules in Freiburg from 1926 to 1956. His theories about the polymer structure of fibres and
plastics as well as his later studies of biological macromolecules formed the basis for
countless modern developments in the materials and biosciences and supported the rapid
growth of the plastics industry. Staudinger received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1953
for his work in the polymer field.
