Gotthard Fliegel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter Gotthard Waldemar Fliegel (born December 28, 1873 in Nieder-Dammer near Steinau , Silesia , † June 22, 1947 in Kleinmachnow near Berlin ) was a German geologist .

Life

Gotthard Fliegel was the son of the manor owner Julius Fliegel and his wife Elise, née Elwanger. Gotthard Fliegel attended the Maria-Magdalenen-Gymnasium in Breslau from 1884 to 1893 and studied geology at the University of Breslau after graduating from high school . In 1898 he received his doctorate in Breslau with his dissertation “The spread of the marine Upper Carboniferous in South and East Asia” . Mead went in the same year as an assistant to Clemens August Schlüter by Bonn to the Geological-Palaeontological Institute. In 1903 he began working at the Prussian State Geological Institute in Berlin. In 1911 he became a district geologist there, in 1920 a regional geologist and in 1923 a department director. From 1919 he was also an associate professor at the Agricultural University in Berlin .

Gotthard Fliegel wrote partly together with the Prussian geologist Wilhelm Wunstorf (1874-1945) important contributions on lignite and the geology of the Lower Rhine lowlands. In the case of lignite on the Lower Rhine, he assumed real tectonics with faults as the cause of subsidence.

Fliegel had been married to his wife Anna Marie, a daughter of the factory owner Friedrich Meyer from Menden (Sauerland) , since 1907 . From the marriage came three daughters and his son Fritz Fliegel , who did not return from a combat mission as a pilot in 1941.

Memberships

During his studies in 1893 he became a member of the Germania Breslau fraternity .

Gotthard Fliegel became a member of the Paleontological Society in the founding year 1912 .
