The Frankfurt Physical Society is a learned society based in Frankfurt, Germany. The society was founded in 1824 by physicians, educators and businessmen with the aim of promoting the study of physics and chemistry among its members. The society provided access to scientific instruments and chemicals for private experimentation and hosted lectures on recent discoveries, whether made by its own members or reported from elsewhere. In the following years, volunteer committees were formed within the society to collect meteorological data, research ways to ensure the synchronisation of the city's clocks, and to establish a library.
