The GDCh – a living network

Why do chemists join the GDCh? What did you learn at the GDCh and what do you enjoy most with us? Eight of our approximately 30,000 members explain this in our video (published in March 2022 ).

Welcome to the GDCh!

A welcome video for all new members of the GDCh, created by the JungChemikerForum (JCF). The most important questions about membership, offers and advantages are clarified here. What are Divisions and how can I join them? What events are there specifically for the young members in their studies and training? And where can I find further information and contact options?

Lifetime Achievements in Chemistry: Start of a special series of books

In a virtual event on September 7, 2021, three outstanding representatives of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry gave insights into their research lives. As part of the presentation of their autobiographies, they described how excellent research succeeds.

An advisory German Chemical Society made up of committed Division of History of Chemistry , historians and publishers, supported by the sponsor and initiator Dr. Karl Reuter, Freiburg, developed the concept for the autobiography series. Three true pioneers, namely Henri Brunner, Regensburg, Gerhard Ertl, Berlin and Günther Maier, Gießen, accepted the invitation and wrote multi-faceted reviews of their scientific life's work. The event was recorded and can be accessed by clicking on the screenshot or here.

"What is chemistry?"

the working group ?Chemistry is ...? of the GDCh asked passers-by on the Zeil in Frankfurt. From "Äääähhhm" to "a lot of numbers and formulas", "my passion", "dangerous" to "much better than Physics" were the answers that the working group made into a funny film The "Chemistry is ..." working group is part of the Chemistry & Society working group.

"Mr. Kekulé, I don't know you"

At the suggestion of GDCh members, the GDCh board and management commissioned a 35mm color film about August Kekulé in 1963. Production was estimated at DM 350,000, which was raised with generous donations from the three largest German chemical companies at the time, BASF, Bayer and Hoechst. The result was a 17-minute film with the title "Mr. Kekulé, I don't know you". In May 1966 the film received the rating of "particularly valuable" from the film evaluation office joint committee for the Berlinale XVI. After many years in a box in the GDCh archive, the film was digitized in 2017.
