==Private life== [[File:Otto Hahn Punta BMK.jpg|thumb|right|Marble plaque in Latin by Professor Massimo Ragnolini, commemorating the honeymoon of Otto Hahn and his wife Edith at Punta San Vigilio, [[Lake Garda]], Italy, in March and April 1913]] In June 1911, while attending a conference in [[Stettin]], Hahn met {{ill|Edith Junghans|de}} (1887β1968), a student at the [[Royal School of Art in Berlin]].

On 22 March 1913 the couple were married in Stettin, where Edith's father, Paul Ferdinand Junghans, was a high-ranking law officer and President of the City Parliament until his death in 1915. After a honeymoon at Punta San Vigilio on [[Lake Garda]] in Italy, they visited Vienna, and then Budapest, where they stayed with [[George de Hevesy]].{{sfn|Spence|1970|p=286}} They had one child, {{ill|Hanno Hahn|de}}, who was born on 9 April 1922.<ref name="Hanno" /> Hanno enlisted in the army in 1942, and served on the [[Eastern Front (World War II)|Eastern Front]] in World War II as a panzer commander. He lost an arm in combat. After the war he became an art historian and architectural researcher (at the Hertziana in Rome), known for his discoveries in the early [[Cistercian architecture]] of the 12th century. In August 1960, while on a study trip in France, Hanno died in a car accident, together with his wife and assistant Ilse Hahn nΓ©e Pletz.
