Hans R. Jenemann (1920 - 1996), chemist at Schott Glaswerke in Mainz, became known for his contributions to the history of scientific equipment, especially historical scales. Paul Bunge (1839 - 1888) set new standards as a precision mechanic and engineer in the construction of scales. He was the first to construct sample scales, the basis for organic microanalysis.
The Paul Bunge Prize of the Hans R. Jenemann Foundation, established in 1992, is awarded jointly by the GDCh and the German Bunsen Society for physical chemistry (DBG) for work on the history of scientific instruments. The award takes place annually, alternately at DBG general meetings and lecture conferences of the GDCh Division of History of Chemistry.
The prize is advertised publicly and internationally. Everyone is eligible to nominate. Self-applications are permitted. The Jenemann Foundation can also award sponsorship prizes for young scientists and support activities that are in line with the foundation's objectives.
