from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emil Schulten (* 1871 ; † April 17, 1938 ) was a German author of traveling literature and cave explorer .

Life

From 1913 to the late 1920s, the grammar school teacher Emil Schulten published the hiking literature series Wanderschulten in several editions , in which he gave numerous recommendations for hikes throughout the Bergisches Land . At that time he worked for nine years as the second chairman of the Wuppertal branch of the Sauerland Mountain Club , of which he was a member from 1918 to 1932.

With his brother Ewald he explored the Klutert cave and published an improved cave plan in 1927. He discovered the first mention of the Klutert cave, dated 1586.

He developed principles for the training of hiking guides and taught this activity at the adult education center in Wuppertal. In addition, in 1931 he published the book Deutsche Wanderkunde, a standard work on the training of hiking guides, which, however, was banned and confiscated by the National Socialists in 1933.

In 1935 he founded the ornithological department of the Wuppertal Natural Science Association and worked on a directory of the Bergisch bird world. On April 17, 1938, Schulten had a fatal car accident while preparing for an ornithological hike near Wermelskirchen .
