Max Planck Medal
The Max Planck Medal is the highest award of the German Physical Society Script error: No such module "Lang"., the world's largest organization of physicists, for extraordinary achievements in theoretical physics. The prize has been awarded annually since 1929, with few exceptions, and usually to a single person. The winner is awarded with a gold medal and hand-written parchment.[1][2][3]
In 1943 it was not possible to manufacture the gold medal because the Berlin foundry was hit by a bomb. The board of directors of the German Physical Society decided to manufacture the medals in a substitute metal and to deliver the gold medals later.[4][5]
The highest award of the German Physical Society for outstanding results in experimental physics is the Stern–Gerlach Medal.[6]
