Life

Education and profession

Fritz Klimmek was a son of the owner Wilhelm Klimmek. He received his school leaving certificate on March 12, 1929 in the high school in Allenstein . This was followed by university studies in biology, chemistry and mathematics in Königsberg (1926–1928), Heidelberg (summer 1928), Leipzig (1928–1929) and from 1929 to 1932 at the Albertus University of Königsberg . On March 2, 1931 he received his doctorate (Dr. phil.) In Königsberg with the dissertation on pleomorphism in Sarcina flava . He passed the teaching examinations on June 18 (mathematics), June 20 (biology) and July 22, 1932 (exams for the upper level) in Königsberg. He was sworn in for teaching on October 14, 1932. He then worked as a research assistant at the business school in Königsberg. Then he was employed on October 13, 1932 as a teacher in the State Friedrichsschule in Gumbinnen . From 1 April 1933 he was a teacher in Olsztyn and then teacher of Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics at the Girls' High School (Augusta Victoria Lyceum) in Memel .

After the end of the war

In the course of the flight and expulsion of Germans from Central and Eastern Europe from 1945 to 1950 , Fritz Klimmek arrived in Leer. He taught for a while at the local high school for girls and worked as a teacher, faunist, florist and conservationist in East Friesland. In collaboration with Albert Schumacher (1893–1975) and Alfred Neumann (1916–1973), he devoted himself particularly to blackberries (Latin: Rubus ).

He collected mosses and blackberries in East Frisia and in the area of Lingen an der Ems and Mettmann in the Rhineland . Fritz Klimmek traveled to the East Frisian Islands and found mosses such as Antitrichia curtipendula in 1947 and 1951 on Norderney , Barbula unguiculata in 1951 on Langeoog and the previously unknown in the region Barbula vinealis on park stones in Leer in 1962 and Brachythecium campestre on the mainland .

Klimmek's collections and Rubus documents are in the Herbarium Hamburgense (HGB) in Hamburg-Rotherbaum . In the essays that he published in relevant journals, he described the brood care of the white-starred bluethroat , the adventitious plants in East Friesland and the distribution and systematics of the arrow-leaved message . He took part in the reconstruction of the local history museum in Leer and was a member of the German Ornithological Society (DO-G).

Dedication names

In his honor, Günter Matzke-Hajek named the Klimmeks blackberry (Latin: Rubus klimmekianus ), which he found in July 1995 in central Siegbergland east of the village of Bach near Hurst . The holotype is kept in the Botanical Museum in Berlin-Dahlem .
