Erich Hesse

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erich Karl Hesse (born November 25, 1874 in Leipzig , † May 1945 in Berlin ) was a German zoologist .

Erich Hesse attended the royal high school in his hometown from 1886 to 1894 . He then studied in Leipzig and received his doctorate in 1899. From 1909 to 1911 he worked as an assistant at the Imperial Biological Institute for Agriculture and Forestry in Berlin-Dahlem . In 1911, Hesse began his work in the Zoological Museum Berlin in the Vogel collection under the supervision of Anton Reichenow . In the years 1916 to 1918 Hesse went back to his hometown Leipzig to work there as curator for zoology at the university museum until he returned to Berlin in October 1918, initially as curator for the permanent collection. From April 1921 he replaced Friedrich Dahl as curator in the spider collection. Three years later, in 1924, he was appointed professor. Hesse retired in 1940 and was succeeded by Alfred Kaestner in 1946 .

Hesse's exact tenure in the Zoological Museum is poorly documented, and so is his fate. He has been registered as missing since summer 1945. His notes as a curator have been lost, perhaps for political reasons after the war.
