August von Strombeck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

August von Strombeck (born December 27, 1808 in Groß Sisbeck , † July 28, 1900 in Braunschweig ) was a German geologist, mineralogist, paleontologist and mining official.

Strombeck studied mining science at the Bergakademie in Freiberg from 1825 to 1828, was appointed assessor in 1833, chamber councilor in 1843, secret councilor in 1875 and later mining captain in Braunschweig, where he was particularly interested in the geology of the area around Braunschweig and the shell limestone and his Fossils dealt. He was friends with Leopold von Buch and accompanied him on exploratory trips. For the geognostic map of Braunschweig published in 1855 and 1856, which was of particular importance for its time, he received a prize at the first Paris World Exhibition.

Otto Griepenkerl named Ammonites strombecki after Strombeck in 1860 (today Noetlingites strombecki ).

He was the nephew of Friedrich Karl von Strombeck , who also dealt with geology and published about it.

In January 1849 he was accepted (serial number 148 of 170 members) into the German Geological Society , which was newly founded at the end of December 1848 . He was a member of the Society of German Natural Scientists and Doctors and the Natural History Association of the Prussian Rhineland and Westphalia .
