Encyclopedia: Ulf Merbold

Merbold was born in Greiz, Germany — by chance just 40 kilometers from where Sigmund Jähn, the first German in space, was born. After he finished school in 1960, he left East Germany and settled in West Germany. He studied physics at the University of Stuttgart, earning a diploma in 1968 and a doctorate in 1976. He then joined the Max-Planck-Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart, where he worked on solid state physics and low temperature physics.
