Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker

Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker (1912–2007) war ein deutscher Physiker und Philosoph, der unter anderem in Hamburg und Starnberg lehrte und forschte. Bekannt für Arbeiten zur Kernphysik sowie für sein friedensethisches Engagement im Umfeld der evangelischen Kirche, blieb seine Mitarbeit am deutschen Uranprojekt während der NS-Zeit Gegenstand historischer Debatten. Für Bibelleser ist er als Grenzgänger zwischen Naturwissenschaft und Theologie bedeutsam, der früh die Verantwortung des Menschen für Frieden und Schöpfungsbewahrung ins Zentrum rückte.
