Life

Alfred Dittmarsch studied engineering at the Dresden Polytechnic and the Bergakademie Freiberg . In Freiberg he became a member of the Corps Montania in 1855 . After completing his studies, he worked as a mining engineer in France from 1859. With the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War , he returned to Germany to subsequently work as a geological and mining expert in Colorado (USA). From 1872 to 1875 he was in charge of the Norwegian copper mine in Visnes . He then returned to Germany as secretary of the Imperial Leopoldine-Carolinian German Academy of Sciences .

On August 1, 1881, Dittmarsch was appointed director of the Zwickau mountain school , which he headed until his retirement in 1906. His special merit was the publication of the textbook Leitfaden der Bergbaukunde in 1894 , which closed a gap in the specialist literature of the time. From 1914 until he moved to Dresden, he was the curator of the Richter's mineral collection that he set up in the newly built King Albert Museum in Zwickau .
