Carl Schnarrenberger
Carl Schnarrenberger (born November 18, 1875 in Münchingen (Wutach) , † June 19, 1964 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) was a German geologist.
Life
Schnarrenberger studied after graduating from high school in 1895 at the Freiburg Berthold-Gymnasium at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg natural sciences and in 1899 passed the teaching examination. Then he was assistant to Gustav Steinmann in the Geological Institute and received his doctorate in 1900 with a dissertation on the chalk formations of the Aquilan Abruzzo . After trial mapping in Kraichgau , he became a section geologist at the Badische Geological State Institute in Heidelberg in 1902 under the director Harry Rosenbusch . In 1903 he became a Baden regional geologist and moved to Karlsruhe in 1907 and to Freiburg in 1910 under the current director Wilhelm Deecke. In 1926 he became director of the Baden Geological State Institute (which later became the State Office for Geology, Raw Materials and Mining ) and in 1927 Oberbergrat. In 1938 he was forced to retire because he was a Freemason. He continued to work as a clerk in the State Office until it was incorporated into the Reich Office for Soil Research (1939). After the war, the state office was re-established and Schnarrenberger received a certificate as a permanent employee in 1948 and was given the title of professor in 1950.
During the First World War he was a military geologist on the Western Front (his maps in the French departments of Aisne, Ardennes, Marne appeared after the war), most recently with the rank of captain of the reserve. As a regional geologist, he mapped in the Kraichgau and the Black Forest and was considered the Nestor of the southwest German geologists when he died. In addition to mapping (whereby many documents were lost in the fire of the State Office in 1944), he was active as an engineering geologist (reports for large power plant structures such as the Schluchseewerk ) and for mining (development of potash deposits and, from 1934, the Great Dane ores ).
From 1911 to 1921 he was chairman of the Baden State Association for Natural History and Environmental Protection and led their geological excursions. In 1945 he became an honorary member. In 1950 he became an honorary member of the Upper Rhine Geological Association . In 1955 he became an honorary citizen of Münchingen.
He mapped the geological maps 1: 25,000 Eppingen , Bretten , Schluchtern , Kürnbach , St. Peter (Black Forest) , Weingarten (Baden) , Elzach , Kandern , Königsbach , Wertheim (with OM Reis, M. Schuster) and added Möhringen to the leaves and Pforzheim .
In 1906 he married Bertha Mathilde Markstahle, with whom he had a son and a daughter.
