Abstract

[Otto Neugebauer visited Copenhagen twice, on Harald Bohr’s invitation. The first visit, during the year 1924/1925, resulted in two papers, one of which is the only paper on pure mathematics that Neugebauer ever wrote. Later, as Neugebauer had to leave Germany due to severe problems with the Nazi regime, he obtained a sponsored professorship during the years 1934–1939. This paper covers Neugebauer’s first sojourn in Copenhagen and describes how his situation in Göttingen became unbearable and forced him to leave Germany. It also reports on the Bohr brothers’ assistance for scientists who had to flee from Germany and on Neugebauer’s friendship with Harald Bohr. Finally it focuses on Neugebauer’s activities in Copenhagen during the years 1934–1939: his research and collaboration with Danish Egyptologists, his teaching, and his relationship to his first doctoral student, Olaf Schmidt, who was my teacher.]
