A Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG, Sociedade de Física da Alemanha) é a maior organização de físicos do mundo. Em 2012 o número de seus membros era de 62 000. A sociedade organiza uma conferência anual (Jahrestagung) e diversas conferências de primavera (Frühjahrstagungen), em diferentes locais .

Formação

A DPG foi fundada em 1899, sucedendo a Physikalische Gesellschaft zu Berlin (Sociedade dos Físicos de Berlim), estabelecida em 14 de janeiro de 1845. Os seis fundadores da Physikalische Gesellschaft zu Berlin foram:

• Gustav Karsten (1820-1900, físico)
• Wilhelm Heinrich Heintz (1817-1880, químico)
• Hermann Knoblauch (1820-1895, físico)
• Ernst Wilhelm von Brücke (1819-1892, fisiologista)
• Emil du Bois-Reymond (1818-1896, fisiologista)
• Wilhelm von Beetz (1822-1886, físico)

Somente três dos fundadores eram físicos, e todos os seis fundadores ainda não tinham 28 anos de idade, e todos alunos do físico Heinrich Gustav Magnus.
