Gadso Lammers (born October 13, 1918 in Neumünster ; † January 11, 2011 there ) was a German civil engineer . For 21 years he was professor of urban and regional planning and director of the institute for urban and regional planning at the University of Karlsruhe (TH) .

Live and act

Gadso Lammers was the son of the city's chief inspector Heinrich Lammers and his wife Frieda Lammers, née Jacobsen. He attended the humanistic grammar school in Neumünster from 1929 to 1937. He then did labor service, then military service, was a war participant and was wounded twice. In WS 1941/42 and WS 1942/43 he was given leave of absence to study at the TH Berlin-Charlottenburg. As a reserve lieutenant, he returned from American captivity in September 1945. He then studied civil engineering at the TH Darmstadt from SS 1946 to SS 1953. His area of ​​specialization was urban planning with the supplementary subjects architecture and town planning as well as economic subjects. He wrote his diploma thesis under Friedrich Reinhold on "The elastic behavior of cement-clay-concrete." He passed the diploma examination with distinction. After receiving a scholarship from the Federal Ministry for Housing to study modern housing at home and abroad, he began working in 1953 as a research assistant and senior assistant to Edmund Gassner at the University of Bonn. In 1959 he earned his doctorate in engineering with distinction. The dissertation dealt with "Hydraulic basics for the economic dimensioning of drainage pipes". This was followed by a position as second managing director of the Research Society for Roads (FGSV) as well as a teaching position at the University of Bonn on "Routing and design of traffic routes". As a consulting engineer for urban planning, roads, water supply and drainage, he worked as a freelance worker from Bonn in the office for urban planning and urban civil engineering (together with Gassner). On October 1, 1963, he took over as full professor and director in succession to Wilhelm Strickler and his fourth successor, the “master builder chair” with the “Institute for Urban Development and Urban Civil Engineering” at the Technical University Fridericiana Karlsruhe. By decree of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Culture of December 19, 1963, the name was changed to “Chair for Urban Development and State Planning” and “Institute for Urban Development and State Planning of the Department of Civil Engineering”.

He contributed to the sewage technical manual and published the main research results of the institute in a series of publications as well as in the series "summer seminars" the specialist seminars held over 17 years on various urban planning topics with broad specialist public participation. a. 1982 “Energy in Urban Development” and 1983 “Planning in Developing Countries”. In 1966 he was one of the founding members of the then inter-faculty Institute for Regional Science at the University of Karlsruhe (TH) .

From 1968 to 1969 he was dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Surveying, 1980 to 1981 chairman of the Faculty Day for Civil Engineering.

In the tradition of the founder of the institute, Reinhard Baumeister, the focus of his teaching on technical town planning was urban civil engineering, spatial planning, land use and development planning, location theory, development and settlement. He also promoted scientific cooperation and exchange with developing countries, especially in Africa.

Gadso Lammers retired on April 1, 1985.
