The German‐born American historian Fritz Stern passed away on May 18, 2016 in New York. Stern dedicated his life´s work to the study of European, particularly German, cultural history. Well aware that Germany´s rise to preeminence during the 19th century was rooted in its scientific‐technological culture, Fritz Stern created a portrait gallery of key protagonists of that “age of genius” which included Fritz Haber, his godfather.
