Universität Wien
On October 2, 1901, Luise Meitner enrolled at the k.k. University of Vienna in the Faculty of Philosophy, but right from the start he attended a large number of seminars in physics, mathematics (differential and integral calculus), as well as chemistry and botany. Her most important academic teacher there was Ludwig Boltzmann. She was already interested in radioactivity in her first years. In 1906 she became the second woman to receive a doctorate in physics at the University of Vienna.

Kernspaltung

In 1938, Lise Meitner fled into exile from the National Socialists.
In 1938, when Germany annexed Austria, Lise Meitner became a German citizen and, as a native Jew, was particularly at risk. Otto Hahn was very concerned about her safety and therefore, together with the Dutch chemist Dirk Coster, prepared her illegal exile in Sweden, which succeeded on July 13, 1938.
