1928 - Studied at the University of Frankfurt for two years, and at Munich for two and one half years, taking his Ph. D. in theoretical physics with Professor Arnold Sommerfeld in July.
1929 - Bethe made an important contribution to solid-state physics and chemistry.
- Obtained his doctorate from the University of Munich with supervisor Arnold Sommerfeld.
1933-1934 - Bethe left Germany when the Nazis came to power.
- Worked as provisionary position of Lecturer.
