Life

Johann Georg Rosenhain came from a Jewish family in Königsberg (Parents: Nathan and florets born Joseph ). After visiting the Collegium Fridericianum he studied from summer semester 1834 mathematics at the Albertus University of Königsberg. He heard Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi and Friedrich Julius Richelot. During his student years he published some lectures of Jacobi, whose theory of elliptic functions inspired his own work. In 1844 he went to the Silesian Friedrich Wilhelm University in Breslau, where he habilitated himself on the Abelian integrals and taught as a lecturer. For his writing Rosenhain was 1846 (1849 officially announced ) of the Paris Academy of Sciences awarded. After he had taken part in the 1848 Revolution, Rosenhain Wroclaw probably had to leave and went to Vienna, where he habilitated in 1851 again. In 1857 he returned as A.O. Professor returned to Königsberg. For this purpose he had, however, first make an official statement in regard to his political past, not to press were again democratically.

He taught until the winter semester 1884/85 in Königsberg, was on leave and went to Berlin. where he died shortly before his 71st birthday.
