Alfred Kneschke
Alfred Kneschke (born June 15, 1902 in Altlöbau ; † November 24, 1979 in Freiberg ) was a German mathematician , graduate engineer and university professor.
Life and education
The son of a worker, Kneschke, completed his seminar training to become an elementary school teacher in 1922 and completed his Abitur at the same time. After four years of studying at the TH Dresden , he was a graduate engineer for technical physics and received his doctorate with a thesis in applied mathematics as a doctoral engineer. From 1926 to 1930 he was assistant to Max Otto Lagally . At the age of 27 he completed his habilitation at the TH Dresden and passed the scientific examination for the higher education authority. In 1930 he went to school, but at the same time taught as a private lecturer at the TH Dresden. In 1938 he received the title of "extraordinary professor" after he had signed the German professors' commitment to Adolf Hitler in November 1933 . Kneschke was a teacher of mathematics and physics at the Higher Experimental School ( Dürerschule ) in Dresden, then a mathematics lecturer at the State Academy for Technology in Chemnitz . As senior director of studies , he then ran the secondary school in Meerane . In 1939 he was drafted and during the Second World War he worked as a cryptanalyst in Inspection 7 Group VI of the Army High Command (OKH / In 7 / VI). In 1945 he was dismissed from the public service of Saxony as a member of the NSDAP in the course of denazification .
In Meerane he learned to be an electrician and worked as a journeyman . From 1950 he was allowed to work again as a mathematician, initially at VEB Carl Zeiss Jena . In 1951 he was appointed professor at the Bergakademie Freiberg . Here he first headed the Institute for Technical Mechanics , and from 1953 until his retirement in 1967 the Institute for Applied Mathematics . He built up the mathematics department at the Bergakademie. His textbooks were in demand and were reprinted repeatedly; they also appeared as licensed editions in the West.
