from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Segler (born July 11, 1906 in Rennberg in the Schlawe i. Pom. District ; † September 30, 1978 in Hohenheim ) was a German agricultural scientist, university professor , author , director of the Institute for Agricultural Engineering at the Hohenheim Agricultural University (1957 to 1974), from 1961 honorary professor for agricultural machinery at the Technical University of Stuttgart and inventor .

Live and act

After studying mechanical engineering from 1925 to 1929 at the Technical University of Munich, from 1929 to 1933 assistant at the Institute for Agricultural Machinery at the Prussian Agricultural Experimental and Research Institute in Landsberg (Warthe) and at the Institute for Agricultural Engineering at the Humboldt University in Berlin under Carl Heinrich Dencker (1900-1967). In 1934 he received his doctorate with his dissertation "Investigations on grain blowers and the basis for their calculation", with Georg Kühne (1880–1941) at the Technical University of Munich.

From 1933 to 1941 he worked as a designer at Heinrich Lanz AG in Mannheim, as well as test manager at Gebr. Röber in Wutha, and also works manager at Petermann-Werke in Warendorf and at the agricultural machinery factory of Friedrich Krupp AG in Essen, most recently as chief designer . During this period he developed numerous patents. His activity, from January 1942, as a full professor of agricultural engineering at the agricultural faculty of the University of Poznan , was interrupted by his military service in 1943 and in January 1945.

After two years at the Petermann-Werke, the English Ministry of Agriculture gave him the opportunity to work as a visiting scientist at the National Institute of Agricultural Engineering (NIAE) in Silsoe, around 1949, with the support of the Kuratorium für Technik in der Landwirtschaft (KTL ) to take on a research assignment. The resulting text on “New ways to improve forage and hay harvest” gave industrial and agricultural development additional approaches.

During his activity from 1950 and from 1952 as full professor for agricultural machinery at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig , he placed the "emphasis" on engineering work in connection with agricultural practice, which he developed through his books "Pneumatic Grain Conveying" (1951) and " Machines in Agriculture ”(1956) as well as numerous publications. The direction of work and the work of his employees developed accordingly.

His appointment as full professor of agricultural engineering at the Hohenheim Agricultural University on October 1, 1957, was followed by a teaching position for agricultural machinery at the Technical University of Stuttgart .

His work beyond Germany is evidenced by his activities for the National University of Ireland in Dublin as an external examiner for agricultural engineering until 1969, membership in the Royal Swedish Academy for Forestry and Agriculture , American Society of Agricultural Engineering (ASAE), for which he was in 1975 was awarded the Fellowmembership , as well as further memberships in foreign institutions and committees.

On October 13, 1958, he co-founded the VDI agricultural engineering group (Segler, Kloth, and others) in Düsseldorf, which he headed from 1962 to 1969.
