Life

Dietrich von Schlechtendal was the youngest son of the botanist Diederich Franz Leonhard von Schlechtendal and his wife Ida Amalie Henriette, née Klug, the daughter of the Berlin physician and entomologist Johann Christoph Friedrich Klug . After attending various schools, Dietrich von Schlechtendal left the pedagogy of the Francke Foundations before graduating from high school and completed an apprenticeship as a miner and smelter. In 1869 he settled in Zwickau as obligor surveyor and Markscheider down, but had already in 1881 for health reasons to Halle retire into private life. Dietrich von Schlechtendal, who throughout his life dealt with botanical and entomological issues, was made an honorary member of the Association for Natural History in Zwickau on November 16, 1881. In 1881 he became a member of the Natural Science Association for Saxony and Thuringia, in whose journal for natural sciences he subsequently published numerous of his scientific papers. In 1884, at the suggestion of Gregor Kraus, he was appointed honorary doctor of the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Halle . From 1885 to 1913 he worked as the second assistant at the Geological-Mineralogical Institute in Halle and from 1906 after the death of Karl von Fritsch as a librarian with Johannes Walther . Dietrich von Schlechtendal was appointed professor when he retired on October 1, 1913.

As a botanist and entomologist, he wrote pioneering work on the knowledge of gall wasps and described a number of new species of gall producers, such as the Diplolepis mayri that occurs on dog roses ( Schlechtendal , 1877).

As a paleontologist he worked a. a. Fossils of the fossil deposit from the Late Oligocene , now known as the Rott fossil deposit , which came to the Geological-Mineralogical Institute in Halle through the takeover of the collection from Hans Pohlig . Furthermore asked him Fritz Frech its material available, which he had collected in Rott during his time in Bonn.

From the material from the Rott fossil site, Dietrich von Schlechtendal succeeded in first describing the fringed winged Hemithrips cheeky ( Schlechtendal , 1887) and Phloeothrips pohligi Schlechtendal , 1887.

On September 16, 1896 he was named Diederich Herrman Reinhart von Schlechtendal with matriculation no. In 3091 accepted as a member of the Imperial Leopoldine-Carolinian German Academy of Natural Scientists .

Dietrich von Schlechtendal became a member and later the first honorary member of the Entomological Society in Halle aS in the founding year 1907

In his honor the merchant and entomologist Jules Lichtenstein (1818-1886) from Montpellier named the genus Schlechtendalia Lichtenstein , 1883, from the family of the tube aphids . The Austrian zoologist Alfred Nalepa (1856–1929) honored him with the naming of the apple rust mite Phyllocoptes badendali Nalepa , 1890, which today is assigned to Aculus badendali ( Nalepa , 1890).
