Professor Werner Espe (1899 Elbing, Prussia – 1970 Bratislava), a nearly forgotten figure of German and Czechoslovak history, was a student of physics in Berlin around 1920, who then played a key role in advancing vacuum technologies, electrovacuum technology, and electronics in the Czechoslovak Republic after 1945. Let us reconstruct his personal life story throughout the turbulent 20th century, as well as the network of his teachers, colleagues, and students, and his own substantial scientific research.
