Life
The von Buddenbrock family originally came from the Baltic States, united in the 19th century with the southern German family of Barons von Hettersdorf and then settled in Silesia. Wolfgang von Buddenbrock-Hettersdorff was born in 1884 as the son of the farmer Richard Alfred Otto Freiherr von Buddenbrock-Hettersdorff and his second wife Elisabeth von Herder.
Wolfgang von Buddenbrock-Hettersdorff studied zoology in Jena and received his doctorate from Heidelberg . There he completed his habilitation and in 1920 received an extraordinary professorship. In the same year he moved to the Zoological Institute in Berlin. In 1923 he became a full professor in Kiel and at the same time director of the Zoological Institute and Museum of the Christian Albrechts University . In 1936 he was forcibly transferred to Halle / Saale on the charge that he had insulted the government as “unclean” .
