description This is a short overview of the life and achievements of Justus von Liebig. Clearly, this can only be an incomplete and somewhat personal view of the author, who has been a professor of inorganic chemistry at Justus Liebig University since 2002. Having already been interested in the work of Liebig for many years, and with a strong connection to the Liebig Museum in Giessen, the author hopes to provide some useful information about this great chemist, one of the founders of modern chemistry. The reader should find many interesting, probably new, facts about Liebig’s major impact on chemistry, agriculture, nutrition, and pharmacology.
