A Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG, Sociedade de Física da Alemanha) é a maior organização de físicos do mundo. Em 2012 o número de seus membros era de 62 000. A sociedade organiza uma conferência anual (Jahrestagung) e diversas conferências de primavera (Frühjahrstagungen), em diferentes locais.[1][2]

Formação

A DPG foi fundada em 1899, sucedendo a Physikalische Gesellschaft zu Berlin (Sociedade dos Físicos de Berlim), estabelecida em 14 de janeiro de 1845. Os seis fundadores da Physikalische Gesellschaft zu Berlin foram:

Somente três dos fundadores eram físicos, e todos os seis fundadores ainda não tinham 28 anos de idade, e todos alunos do físico Heinrich Gustav Magnus.
