Minkowski studied in Königsberg and taught in Bonn (1887–1894), Königsberg (1894–1896) and Zürich (1896–1902), and finally in Göttingen from 1902 until his death in 1909. He married Auguste Adler in 1897 with whom he had two daughters; the electrical engineer and inventor Reinhold Rudenberg was his son-in-law.

This is a list of people who died in the last 5 days with an article at the English Wikipedia. For people without an English Wikipedia page see: Wikipedia:Database reports/Recent deaths (red links). Generally updated at least daily, last time: 08:11, 15 January 2025 (UTC).
Life as the main story: For deaths where the person's life is the main story, where the news reporting of the death consists solely of obituaries, or where the update to the article in question is merely a statement of the time and cause of death, the "recent deaths" section is usually used.

Hermann Minkowski Poincaré's attempt of a four-dimensional reformulation of the new mechanics was not continued by himself, [ 54 ] so it was Hermann Minkowski (1907), who worked out the consequences of that notion (other contributions were made by Roberto Marcolongo (1906) and Richard Hargreaves (1908) [ 88 ] ).
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 ...
Hermann Minkowski (1864–1909) found that the theory of special relativity could be best understood as a four-dimensional space, since known as the Minkowski spacetime. In physics, Minkowski space (or Minkowski spacetime) (/ m ɪ ŋ ˈ k ɔː f s k i,-ˈ k ɒ f-/ [1]) is the main mathematical description of spacetime in the absence of gravitation.
