Friedrich Karl Ginzel
Friedrich Karl Ginzel (born February 23, 1850 in Reichenberg , Bohemia , † June 29, 1926 in Berlin ) was an Austrian astronomer .
Friedrich Karl Ginzel was an observer at Theodor Oppolzer's observatory in Vienna from 1877 . In 1886 he became a member of the Royal Astronomical Computing Institute of the Berlin Observatory , where he received a professorship in 1899. In 1899 he published an important study on solar and lunar eclipses in ancient times. Then he devoted himself in particular to chronology . His three-volume handbook of mathematical and technical chronology (1906–1914) is an unsurpassed standard work for calendars and ancient chronology to this day, although some chapters are now outdated.
The moon crater Ginzel was named after him.
