Arthur Hagmeier
Ludwig Arthur Hagmeier (born July 17, 1886 in Oberacker , † July 20, 1957 in Kiel ) was a German marine biologist.
Life
Hagmeier was born as the son of the main teacher Georg Ludwig Hagmeier and Juliane Kern. He attended high schools in Durlach and Pforzheim and graduated from high school in 1905. He then studied natural sciences at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg and the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin . He passed the state examination for higher education in 1910 and was awarded a Dr. phil. PhD. He then worked as a research assistant for marine research at the Royal Prussian Biological Institute on Heligoland . In 1918 he went to the Constantinople Fisheries Biological Institute . In 1919 he returned to the State Biological Institute on Helgoland as curator for zoology and was its director from 1934 to 1953.
During the National Socialist era , Hagmeier joined the SA in October 1933 and also became a member of the National Socialist Association of Officials . A decidedly National Socialist speech from 1934 has been preserved. Due to the membership ban of the NSDAP and resistance of his likewise politically committed employees in the institute (local group leader Meunier, custodian Dr. Helmuth Hertling ) against their superior, he could not be accepted into the party until 1939; he had made the application as early as 1937.
