In 1913 he was elected member of the Academy Prussian Sciences and appointed director of Physics Institute Society "Kaiser Wilhelm" in Berlin, till in 1933. After publishing theory General relativity in the First World War and confirm the predictions of one of them by the expedition Royal Astronomical Society of Sciences in London (1919) became the most famous scientist of his time.

With the establishment of the National Socialist regime, Einstein resign from the Prussian Academy of Sciences and leave Germany permanently, settling in the Princeton United States.
