Rudolf Otto Sigismund Lipschitz
1832 - 1903 Rudolf Lipschitz was born in 1832 into a wealthy family in the German village of Bonkein, near Konigsberg, which today is the Russian city of Kaliningrad. Lipschitz wanted to become a professor of mathematics and began his studies at a young age. He first entered the University of Konigsberg, where his teacher was Franz Neumann. At that time it was the custom to study at two different
In 1862 his dream of becoming a professor finally came true. His work in mechanical interpretation of Riemann's differential geometry helped pave the way towards Einstein's special theory of relativity. He stayed not because he did not have the opportunity to move, but because he was happy there. He became an extraordinary professor at the university in Breslau. At one point he turned down a very prestigious position at Gottingen in order to stay in Bonn. Lipschitz spent the rest of his career at the University of Bonn. Lipschitz stayed only two years in Breslau. That year he also married Ida Pascha, the daughter of a landowner who lived near his father's estate. Rudolf Lipschitz died on October 7, 1903 in Bonn, Germany at the age of 71. He left Breslau on Easter of 1864 after being nominated an ordinary professor by the University of Bonn. During this time he wrote two unimportant papers, but he also founded a seminar on mathematics and mathematical physics with the help of Heinrich Schroeter and M. However, in 1857 he became a Privatdozent at the University of Berlin. No immediate university teaching position came up, so Lipschitz was forced to teach for four years at gymnasiums in Konigsberg and Elbing.
