Max Rubner
Max Rubner (1854–1932), a physician and physiologist, was the father of modern nutrition science in Germany. A professor of hygiene at Marburg from 1887, he was appointed professor and director of the Hygiene Institute in Berlin in 1891, succeeding Robert Koch. From 1909 to 1922, he taught physiology there and established the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut für Arbeits-physiologie (Institute of Occupational Physiology). With his experimental work on the energy content of nutrients, Max Rubner laid the foundations for today’s caloric tables. He also focused his attention on energy balance, a field of great relevance to this day.
