Göttingen was, along with Berlin, one of Germany's two main centers for mathematical research. [1] Prior to Nazi rule, the University of Göttingen already had an illustrious mathematics tradition that included distinguished mathematicians like Gauss, Riemann, David Hilbert, Dirichlet, Hermann Minkowski and Felix Klein.

1908 – Hermann Minkowski publishes his spacetime formalism of special relativity. 1908 – Frederick Thomas Trouton and Alexander Rankine conduct an experiment with electric circuit , proving that the length contraction is not the only relativistic effect and some form of time dilation is present – similarly to the previous experiments by ...
