from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Maria Groebbels (born September 1, 1888 in Sigmaringen , † November 7, 1960 in Mölln ) was a German physiologist and ornithologist . He worked in Hamburg .

Life

Groebbels was the son of an art historian and museum director of the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen . He studied medicine in Munich and Heidelberg (1907-12), became an assistant doctor in Frankfurt am Main and Munich after completing his doctorate in 1913, and completed his habilitation in physiology in 1921 at the University of Hamburg . There he became an adjunct professor in 1926 and worked until his retirement in 1953 as a senior physician at the Physiological Institute in the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf .

His research included functional morphology and histology , physiology and biology, and especially ornithology. His standard work "Der Vogel" contained 9000 references. It thus represents a supplement to Erwin Stresemann's “Aves” (1927–34). The preliminary work for the planned 3rd volume was not completed during the war. Groebbels wrote more than 100 papers on physiological and 200 treatises and communications on ornithological topics between 1907 and 1960.

In November 1933, Groebbels signed the confession of the German professors to Adolf Hitler and joined the NSDAP in 1937 .
