TL;DR
This paper reflects on the early career and influential contributions of Walter Greiner in establishing the 'strong fields' physics domain in Frankfurt, highlighting his role in shaping the Frankfurt School of Theoretical Physics.
Contribution
It provides a personal account of Walter Greiner's foundational role in creating the 'strong fields' research area and the development of the Frankfurt School of Theoretical Physics.
Findings
Greiner's focus on 'strong fields' shaped the research direction.
The rise of the Frankfurt School was driven by Greiner's initiatives.
A stability principle was central to Greiner's scientific approach.
Abstract
I recall my "first hour" events following on my meeting in Fall 1968 in the classroom with my academic teacher and thesis mentor Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. multiple Walter Greiner. My comments focus on the creation of the new "strong fields" domain of physics in Frankfurt. I argue that this was the research field closest to Walter's heart during his lustrous academic career. I will describe the events that lead on to Greiner's course books, Walters actions leading to the rise of Frankfurt School of Theoretical Physics, and show how a stability principle defined his science.
