Dieter Bernhard Herrmann (3 January 1939 – 25 November 2021) was a German historian of astronomy and author of numerous popular science books on astronomy. He was director of the Zeiss Major Planetarium in Berlin from 1987 to 2004. In his scientific work he dealt with the early development of astrophysics and the application of quantitative methods in the history of science.
Life and career
Born in Berlin, Germany, Herrmann studied physics at the Humboldt University of Berlin from 1957 to 1963. From 1963 to 1969, he was employed at the Staatliches Amt für Atomsicherheit und Strahlenschutz [de]. In 1969, he obtained a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) at the Humboldt University on the topic The Emergence of Astronomical Journals in Germany, 1798–1821.
Herrmann was director of the Archenhold Observatory in Berlin-Alt-Treptow from 1 November 1976 to 30 September 2004, succeeding Diedrich Wattenberg. In 1986, he completed his habilitation (Dr. sc. phil.) and was appointed honorary professor. In 1987, he was the founding director of the associated Zeiss Major Planetarium in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. He also hosted the popular science programme "AHA" of Deutscher Fernsehfunk for 14 years, for which he was awarded the Golden Laurel of GDR Television three times.
Herrmann's work included extensive lecturing activities. He was the author of 45 books, 150 scientific and about 2,000 popular science publications, as well as the successful planetarium programmes "Phantastisches Weltall", "Sterne, Nebel, Feuerräder", "Als der Mond zum Schneider kam", "Die große Tour durch die Welt der Planeten" (premiere 1993).
Herrmann was a member of the International Astronomical Union, the European Astronomical Society, the Leibniz-Sozietät der Wissenschaften zu Berlin [de], the Berliner Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft [de], the Astronomische Gesellschaft and other scientific associations. He was a member of the Science Council of the Society for the Scientific Investigation of Parasciences as well as on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Journal of Anomalistics published by the Society for Anomalistics [de].
From 2006 until January 2012, he was president of the Leibniz-Sozietät (since 2007 Leibniz-Sozietät der Wissenschaften zu Berlin). On 27 June 2012, he was elected to the board of Urania in Berlin. On 18 May 2012, Herrmann was appointed honorary member of the Gesellschaft Deutschsprachiger Planetarien.
From January 2010 to April 2015, Herrmann gave a monthly overview of the current starry sky in his video column "Herrmanns Himmelsblicke" on the website of the Märkische Oderzeitung. Since 26 September 2010, the star discovered on 11 January 2000 at the Volkssternwarte Drebach as a minor planet (103460) bears the name Dieterherrmann.
On 17 September 2019, Herrmann was awarded the prestigious Bruno H. Bürgel Award [de] of the Astronomische Gesellschaft "for decisively shaping the public perception of astronomy by presenting inherently new astronomical results to the public over several decades". He was a member of the advisory board of the Study Foundation of the Berlin House of Representatives and was elected a member of the board in 2020.
