Franz Schrader (geographer)
Jean Daniel François Schrader (born January 11, 1844 in Bordeaux , † October 18, 1924 in Paris ), better known under the name Franz Schrader (or Frantz Schrader ), was a French geographer , mountaineer , cartographer and painter on his father's side of Prussian-German descent .
Life
Schrader was one of the most important French alpinists and cartographers of the 19th century. His father Ferdinand Schrader had emigrated from Magdeburg to Bordeaux, where he married a Huguenot who lived there.
Schrader's work in the Pyrenees is considered particularly important , where the Grand Bachimale (3176 m) , which he climbed first on the French-Spanish border, was named after him, Pic Schrader . In Bordeaux a larger thoroughfare was named after him, in Lourdes there is a small museum commemorating Schrader. In 1889 Schrader was made a Knight of the French Legion of Honor .
As a cartographer , he became particularly well-known through the invention of the orograph and his editing of the atlases by Louis Hachette .
In 1876, Schrader co-founded the Bordeaux section of the Club Alpin Français (CAF), the French Alpine Club. He was for many years on the board of the CAF and from 1901 to 1904 its president. In the CAF, Schrader founded the committees still active today for research into the Alps and for the artistic representation of Alpine landscapes.
