Beskrivelse Erik Bohr, Christian Bohr, Margrethe Bohr, Aage Bohr and Hans Bohr at UITF/NBI in the Villa.
Bemærkning Erik Bohr (1920 -1990) was a Danish engineer. He was the third son of Niels and Margrethe Bohr. He was director of A/S Kryolitselskabet Øresund 1956-71. He was a member of Denmarks industrial delegation to the Danish embassy in London from 1972. Christian Bohr (1916 – 1934) was the eldest son of Niels Bohr. He died in a sailing accident at the age of 18. Aage Bohr (1922 – 2009) was the fourth son of Margrethe and Niels Bohr. His physics studies were abruptly interrupted in 1943 when the family had to flee from the German-occupied Denmark. He followed his father to England and the United States, where he worked as his father's right hand, not only in physics, but also to a great degree in promoting the necessity of an 'open world' in the light of the existence of the atomic bomb. Back in Denmark he completed his physics studies and in 1950 he began a lifelong collaboration in Copenhagen with Ben Mottelson and the two shared the Nobel Prize for physics in 1975 with the American James Rainwater for their revolutionising work with nuclear structure. In 1956 he became professor in physics and after his father´s death in 1962 he was director of the institute and held this position until 1970. In this period, he continued the tradition of the institute as an international centre for theoretical physics. From 1975 to 1981 he was the director of the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (Nordita), which was established in 1957 in association with the Niels Bohr Institute. Hans Henrik Bohr (1918 - 2010) was the second son of Niels Bohr. Hans qualified as a doctor in Sweden whilst in exile in Sweden in 1944. He specialised in surgery and orthopaedics becoming Head Physician at Refsnæs hospital and Rigshospitalet.
