Live and act
Grandfather Friedrich Sadebeck was a wealthy and influential textile merchant in Reichenbach , Lower Silesia , and a promoter of the Silesian cotton industry . The father, Moritz Sadebeck (1809–1885), taught mathematics and physics at the Maria-Magdalenen-Gymnasium in Breslau , whose son Alexander became his pupil from 1853. The older brother Richard Sadebeck also attended this grammar school; he became Hamburg's leading botanist .
After graduating from high school in 1862, Alexander Sadebeck studied geology and mineralogy with Gustav Rose at the University of Berlin . As early as 1865 his work on the Upper Jurassic education in Pomerania appeared in the journal of the German Geological Society . In the same year he received his doctorate in Berlin and in 1869 he completed his habilitation there. He initially taught as a private lecturer . In 1872 he was appointed full professor of mineralogy and geology at the University of Kiel . Sadebeck published a large number of specialist articles in scientific journals, such as those of the Gesellschaft Naturforschender Freunde zu Berlin, the Naturwissenschaftlicher Verein, Kiel, and for Poggendorffs (Wiedmann) Annalen d. Physics and others. In the journal of the German Geological Society there were articles such as Krystallformen des Kupferkieses und der Blende (1868), Fahlerz und seine Verwachsungen (1872) and Krystallisierung des Bleiglanzes (1874). Sadebeck wrote a revision course (Berlin 1873) and reissued Gustav Rose's Elements of Crystallography (1873). In the obituary printed there for his great teacher, who died in 1873, it says: “I was allowed to live with him in almost daily scientific contact for seven years. This work, the completion of which should still be a joy in life for him, has now become the first death victim. ” He wrote a second volume that dealt with applied crystallography (Berlin, 1876). A few years later, Alexander Sadebeck also died at the age of only 36.
