Auerbach was a German physicist at the University of Jena who worked on the mechanics of solids — including the hardness relation known as Auerbach's law — as well as acoustics, and who wrote widely read popular-science works. He was close to the Zeiss optical enterprise. He was born into a Jewish family and, together with his wife, took his own life in 1933 after the Nazis seized power.
