Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961).

Autograph letter signed ('E. Schrödinger') to [Wilhelm Wien], Zurich, 8 October 1927.

In German. 1½ pages, 276 x 211mm. Provenance: by descent from Wilhelm Wien.

Moving to join Einstein in Berlin. Schrödinger is grateful for an invitation to stay with the Wiens, although he cannot yet name the precise day and even less the hour of his arrival, and begs them not to change any plans on his account. He adds that his wife, Anny, will stay in Zurich until the end of the month, before joining him in Berlin to look for a flat.

Schrödinger had succeeded Max Planck at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin a week previously: the position made him a colleague of Albert Einstein.
