Life

Ernst Biesalski studied chemistry at the Friedrichs-Universität Halle after attending the Luisenstädtisches Gymnasium in Berlin . Like his brother Konrad Biesalski (1868–1930) before , he became a member of the Corps Teutonia Halle in 1902 . In 1903 he was also active in the Corps Makaria Munich . In 1908 he was at the University of Halle cum laude for Dr. phil. doctorate and passed his state examination. He moved to Friedenau and became an assistant at the TH Charlottenburg . The marriage with Käte Schulze in 1910 resulted in three daughters and a son. He experienced World War I as a volunteer from 1914 to 1918. In 1915 he became a lieutenant. From 1916 he taught as a teacher at gas schools in Berlin and Leverkusen . In 1918 he went to Macedonia as a gas officer. He received the Iron Cross I.

In 1920 he was back in his assistant position and in 1924 became a private lecturer. Since 1928 associate professor for inorganic chemistry at the Technical University of Charlottenburg , Biesalski was appointed full professor for analytical chemistry and chemistry in mining in 1934 . In addition to the chemistry of mining, his specialty was the synthesis of substitutes for vegetable colors. He was a member of the DIN color standards committee (FNF / DIN). In 1945 he was retired .

In the post-war period he received the ribbon of the Halle successor corps Saxonia Frankfurt / Main in 1949 . For Erich Bauer , Biesalski was “undoubtedly the greatest expert in the field of student cabaret”. Biesalski owned a large collection of silhouettes . For the Association for Corps Student History Research , he wrote significant contributions to the history of silhouette art. Today, Kutz Makariae Munich, Franconiae Würzburg IdC, keeps the Biesalski shaft's silhouette collection. Ernst Biesalski was a passionate rose breeder. He was co-founder and chairman of the German Iris Society.

Ernst Biesalski lived in Eldagsen and Berlin-Dahlem . He died in Berlin on October 30, 1963, just a week after his 82nd birthday. He was buried in the Biesalski family grave in the Zehlendorf cemetery. There he rests next to his brother Konrad, who was buried in the same place in 1930.
