Influenced from his father at young age, whilst attending a primary school for a mix of Catholic and Jewish students, Fritz began experimenting with chemistry. When he reached eightteen years old, he was able to convince his father that instead of apprenticing him in his family-owned business, a …show more content…
Sadly, due to an argument the two had, Frit'z first wife Clara committed suicide in their garden. Two years later, he remarried to a woman named Charlotte. They had two children, Eva-Charlotte and Ludwig-Fritz, but the marriage did not last. They soon divorced in 1927.
Then, in 1914, World War I began. Fritz, although too old to enlist, still proceeded to aid the troops by being one of many chemists to take a role in the development of the chemical warfare the troops used. Not only that, but he also managed to persuade many more scientists to enlist, and developed gas masks that could protect troops against chemical and gas warfare. He was even promoted to the rank of captain of the Chemistry Section in Ministry of War, which was very uncommon.
In 1918, Fritz reached a goal no previous scientist had ever reached before. Using high-pressure and four catalyst beds, he was able to produce ammonia by retracting hydrogen and nitrogen gases. This soon earned the title the Haber Process, or the Haber-Bosch Process. He soon earned a Nobel Piece Prize in Chemistry for his
