Edmund Beyenburg (born March 1, 1900 in Cologne , † June 3, 1959 in Berlin ) was a German geologist .

Life

Beyenburg went to the Dreikönigsgymnasium in Cologne with the Abitur in 1918 and then from 1919 studied philosophy, psychology, logic and education at a church academy. He also attended lectures on natural sciences and mathematics in Cologne and began studying geology in Bonn, which he completed in 1928 with a doctorate under Hans Cloos . He was briefly assistant at Cloos and from 1930 (after the geological state examination) at the Prussian Geological State Institute (PGLA). In 1932 he became an unscheduled geologist, but a permanent position failed because he did not pass a National Socialist leadership course in 1933. Since he also became seriously ill, he retired in 1940 and did archive work at the PGLA.

Following his dissertation, he dealt with the geology and tectonics of the Hunsrück . He mapped at the PGLA in the Rhineland and Westphalia (geological map of Hamm and Lünen 1939) and dealt with the stratigraphy of the Cretaceous Period in Westphalia. He edited the deep drilling map of the Lower Rhine-Westphalian coal basin and the deep drilling map in the Recklinghausen area. He also dealt with Quaternary geology in the area of ​​the Lippe .
