Ernst Pörner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

K. Ernst Pörner (born July 11, 1886 in Stendal ; † October 27, 1965 in Wernigerode ) was a German educator , conservationist , geologist and local researcher .

Life

After his teacher training, Pörner got a job at the girls' elementary school in Wernigerode in 1912 . After the First World War he trained as a middle school teacher and was transferred to the boys' middle school, where he taught mathematics, physics and chemistry. He created several teaching materials that were used in the schools of the entire district of Wernigerode as duplicated manuscripts, including 1934 Der Harz and its Vorland . During the Second World War he was air protection officer for the district of Wernigerode . Since he had been a member of the NSDAP , he was no longer allowed to teach after the end of the war.

In his free time he was intensively involved in drawing and local research and presented several fundamental publications on the North Harz, the district and city of Wernigerode and the Brocken, some of which were published in tenth editions years after his death. He also published some of his research results in the daily, regional and specialist press.

From 1952 to 1965 Ernst Pörner was nature conservation officer for the Wernigerode district and tried to maintain nature conservation under the Brocken in politically difficult times. In 1952 and 1953 he was responsible for the restoration and revision of the natural monuments as well as all nature and landscape protection areas in the district of Wernigerode.

He also earned lasting merits in building the Feudal Museum at Wernigerode Castle and the Wernigerode District Local History Museum (now the Harz Museum).

Together with the Ilsenburg local researcher Hans Riefenstahl, he was involved in the rediscovery of the castle on the Ilsestein at the beginning of the 1960s .
