Life

Family and education

Walter Wolman was the son of chemists Dr. Ludwig Wolman and passed the Abitur in 1919 at the Reform-Realprogymnasium with Realschule in Opladen. After a subsequent one-year internship in the mechanical engineering department of the cable factory in Felten and Cologne-Mülheim, Wolman turned to the study of electrical engineering at the Technische Hochschule Darmstadt from 1921, earning his Diplom in 1925. In 1927, he received his Promotion from the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen. Walter Wolman married Lisbet née Hoffmann in 1929. This union produced four children named Marei, Georg, Christof and Friedgart. Wolman was a member of the Christian Community.

Professional career

Wolman took up a research assistant position at the Electrotechnical Institute of the Rhenish-Westphalian Technical University of Aachen in 1925. After receiving his doctorate, Walter Wolman was employed as a development engineer for electroacoustics, and from 1931 as group leader of several communications engineering laboratories at Siemens & Halske AG at the Berlin site. In 1938, he accepted a call to the auderordentlicher Professur for telecommunications systems as well as technical acoustics at the Technische Hochschule Dresden. In this capacity, he developed a method for measuring the velocity of missiles using the Doppler principle. In addition, he participated in research projects on telemetry as well as remote control for the Peenemünde Army Research Station, and in 1940 he was put in charge of the "Peenemünde Project" at the Dresden Technical University. After Second World War, Wolman taught at the Technische Hochschule Stuttgart since the winter semester 1946/47, where he was appointed ordentlicher Professor for telecommunications systems and director of the newly created Institute for Telecommunications Systems in 1948. The 1966 Emerititierte continued his teaching activities until 1977.
