Carl Heinrich Hermann (17 June 1898 – 12 September 1961), or Carl Hermann German: [kaʁl ˈhɛʁman] , was a German physicist and crystallographer known for his research in crystallographic symmetry, nomenclature, and mathematical crystallography in N-dimensional spaces. Hermann was a pioneer in crystallographic databases and, along with Paul Peter Ewald, published the first volume of the influential Strukturbericht (Structure Report) in 1931.[1]
