Bio:

Joachim Ernst Trümper was born in 1933 in Haldensleben. He finished the high school in 1951 in Bernburg and spent a year in industry as an apprentice in electro-mechanics, since he was not admitted to an university in the GDR for political reasons. In 1952 he succeeded to enroll at Halle University to study physics. In 1955 he moved (illegally) to Hamburg and in 1957 to Kiel. Here he obtained the PhD in physics in 1959 and became a cosmic ray physicist. After the discovery of pulsars he became interested in neutron star physics and the young field of X-ray astronomy. In 1971, he started a comprehensive program in X-ray astronomy at the University of Tübingen, before he moved in 1975 to the Max-Planck-Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) in Garching near Munich. After his retirement from the MPE directorship in 2001, he is continuing his scientific work at the institute. Since 50 years his hobby is sailing, currently on an H-Boat on the nearby Chiemsee.
