Life

Dammer was the youngest son of the chemist Otto Dammer .

In 1903 he received his doctorate from the University of Giessen ; his dissertation is entitled "The red-lying area around Altenburg in Saxony-Altenburg".

In the almost fifty years as a geologist in the civil service, he developed a lively activity, especially in the field of cartography ; The focus of this activity was the Brandenburg Neumark , where he was appointed regional geologist in 1923, and East Prussia , where he was in charge of the geological surveys in the plains operated by the PGLA from 1934 to 1936 . In addition, he was employed as an appraiser for water developments and usable rocks and minerals; the scientific result of this field of activity was his work on "The usable minerals with the exception of ores and coal".

After the Second World War , Dammer worked at the Hessian State Office for Soil Research until he retired on April 1, 1949; however, he remained a "volunteer employee" of the state office until his death.
