IPP Greifswald is one of the campuses operated by Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik. Our records show the address as Greifswald, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
Use the address below when you need directions, mailing information or a clear sense of where IPP Greifswald is located. Larger institutions often spread teaching, research and administration across multiple sites, so confirm this is the campus relevant to your visit, interview or job application.
The Greifswald campus, established in 1994 as the Teilinstitut Greifswald, specializes in stellarator fusion research. It is home to Wendelstein 7-X, the world's largest stellarator, designed to demonstrate the viability of stellarators for continuous fusion operation. With around 450 staff, the site focuses on optimizing twisted magnetic fields for plasma confinement, aiming for quasi-steady-state fusion conditions. Strong ties exist with the University of Greifswald's Physics Department, including joint professorships.
