German chemist and pharmacologist (1839–1905).png)
Albert Hilger (2 May 1839 in Homburg – 18 May 1905 in Possenhofen) was a German pharmacologist and chemist, known for his work in the field of food chemistry.
He worked as a pharmacy assistant in the cities of Mannheim, Karlsruhe and Saarbrücken, and studied mathematics and sciences at the Polytechnic in Karlsruhe. In 1860 he continued his education at the University of Würzburg, receiving his PhD two years later in Heidelberg. Later on, he spent several years as an assistant to chemist Johann Joseph Scherer at Würzburg.
In 1868 he established a private agricultural-chemistry laboratory, and during the following year, obtained his habilitation at Würzburg. In 1872 he became an associate professor of pharmacy and applied chemistry at the University of Erlangen, where in 1875 he attained a full professorship. In 1892 he succeeded Ludwig Andreas Buchner as a professor at the University of Munich.
