The first sulfonamide and first commercially available antibacterial antibiotic, Prontosil, was developed by a research team led by Gerhard Domagk in 1932 at the Bayer Laboratories of the IG Farben conglomerate in Germany.

Auschwitz III-Monowitz served as a labor camp for the Buna-Werke factory of the IG Farben concern.

Hydrothermal synthetic emeralds have been attributed to IG Farben, Nacken, Tairus, and others, but the first satisfactory commercial product was that of Johann Lechleitner of Innsbruck, Austria, which appeared on the market in the 1960s.

Competing with DuPont and IG Farben, the new company produced chemicals, explosives, fertilisers, insecticides, dyestuffs, non-ferrous metals, and paints.

All of the compounds in this class were discovered and synthesized during or soon after World War II, led by Dr. Gerhard Schrader ( later under the employment of IG Farben ).

This first class of nerve agents, the G-Series, was accidentally discovered in Germany on December 23, 1936 by a research team headed by Dr. Gerhard Schrader working for IG Farben.

Since 1934, Schrader had been working in a laboratory in Leverkusen to develop new types of insecticides for IG Farben.

The plant was operated by Anorgana GmbH, a subsidiary of IG Farben, as were all other chemical weapon agent production plants in Germany at the time.

This is detailed in Joseph Borkin's book The Crime and Punishment of IG Farben:

The Crime and Punishment of IG Farben.

* December 25 – IG Farben formed by merger of six chemical companies in Germany.

Friedrich Matthias of IG Farben / BASF developed the recording tape, including the oxide, the binder, and the backing material.

To raise capital, Degussa split its controlling interest of Degesch with IG Farben in 1930: both companies held a 42. 5 % share in Degesch, with the remaining 15 % held by the Th.

The manufacture of Zyklon B was handled by Dessauer Werke für Zucker and Chemische Werke, which acquired the stabilizer from IG Farben, the warning agent from Schering AG and the prussic acid from Dessauer Schlempe and assembled them into the final product.

He was employed as a food chemist by a branch of the giant IG Farben company, based in Leverkusen in the Ruhr.

IG Farben was a German chemical industry conglomerate.

During its heyday IG Farben was the largest chemical company in the world and the fourth largest overall industrial concern, after General Motors, U. S. Steel and Standard Oil ( New Jersey ).

IG Farben was involved in numerous war crimes during World War II.

IG Farben was founded on December 25, 1925, as a merger of the following six companies:

bg: IG Farben

In December 1994, as part of the realignment of United States Armed Forces, V Corps moved from the IG Farben Building to Campbell Barracks in Heidelberg, severing a forty-three year tie with Frankfurt.

The dominant feature of this campus is the “ IG Farben ” Building by the architect Hans Poelzig.

Headquarters of the V Corps at the IG Farben Building: The Commando Petra Schelm of the Rote Armee Fraktion killed U. S. Officer Paul Bloomquist and wounded thirteen in a bombing-attack.

In 1930 Hans Poelzig erected the IG Farben Building.

After World War II the IG Farben Building became the main location of the American armed forces in Europe.

Set in Allied-occupied Germany, it was shot on location in post-World War II Frankfurt-am-Main ( with exterior and interior shots of the IG Farben Building and its paternoster elevators ) and Berlin.

' The level of destruction is further enforced on the viewer with scenes filmed inside the IG Farben Building ; this was perhaps the first time images of its exterior and interior had been so publicly broadcast.

In 1935, IG Farben and AEG presented the magnetophon – the first tape recorder – at the Radio Exhibition in Berlin.

He was a pioneer in the field of high-pressure industrial chemistry and founder of IG Farben, at one point the world's largest chemical company.

He finally managed to find work in 1923 at IG Farben.

Affidavits that Rudolf Höss had made whilst held prisoner in Nuremberg were also used at Pohl & IG Farben trials.

He was appointed the director of Bayer's Institute of Pathology and Bacteriology, where he continued the studies of Josef Klarer and Fritz Mietzsch, based on works by Paul Ehrlich, to use dyes, at that time a major product of IG Farben, as antibiotics.

In 1947, Dondero tried to block the trial of IG Farben executives for war crimes at Nuremberg by withholding funding for the prosecution team before indictments could be handed down.

Experiments with Prontosil began in 1932 in the laboratories of Bayer AG, at that time a component of the huge German chemical trust IG Farben.

IG Farben established a synthetic rubber plant in 1942 at Monowitz concentration camp ( Auschwitz III ); other camps were set up next to airplane factories, coal mines and rocket propellant plants.

* August 22-23 ( overnight ) – Bomber Command sends 462 aircraft to attack the IG Farben factory at Leverkusen, Germany.

* January 7 – 502 Eighth Air Force bombers escorted by 571 fighters bomb the IG Farben plant at Ludwigshafen, Germany, with the loss of 19 bombers and six fighters.

The model is basically as follows: general labour agreements are made at the national level by national unions ( e. g. IG Metall ) and national employer associations ( e. g. Gesamtmetall ), and local plants and firms then meet with works councils to adjust these national agreements to local circumstances.

According to the DOJ memo, the IG Report observed that the CIA's Office of Medical Services ( OMS ) stated that " the experience of the SERE psychologist / interrogators on the waterboard was probably misrepresented at the time, as the SERE waterboard experience is so different from the subsequent Agency usage as to make it almost irrelevant " and that " onsequently, according to OMS, there was no a priori reason to believe that applying the waterboard with the frequency and intensity with which it was used by the psychologist / interrogators was either efficacious or medically safe.

Oikonomides, A. N. Athens and the Phokians at the outbreak of the Lamian War (= IG II 367 ).

This discovery later inspired German chemist Gerhard Schrader at company IG Farben in the 1930s to experiment with these compounds as insecticides.

The Independent Group ( IG ) met at the Institute of Contemporary Arts ( ICA ) London from 1952-55.

Currently the subject of renewed interest in our post disciplinary age, the IG was the topic of a two-day, international conference at the Tate Britain in March 2007.

Schrader grew up in Bortfeld, near Wendeburg, Germany, studied chemistry at TU Braunschweig, and was later employed at the Bayer AG division of IG Farben.

Cratinus was victorious six times at the City Dionysia, first probably in the mid-to-late 450s BCE ( IG II2 2325.

50 ), and three times at the Lenaia, first probably in the early 430s ( IG II2 2325.

Many old Nazis were hired by the company, such as Otto Ambros who had overseen the IG Buna Werke rubber plant at Auschwitz.

) In World War II, an IG Farben subsidiary, Degesch, manufactured Zyklon B, the poison gas used at the extermination camps ( the other supplier of the gas was the firm Tesch & Stabenow ).
