Gottlieb Samuel Studer (born August 5, 1804 in Langnau im Emmental , † December 14, 1890 in Bern ) was a Swiss mountaineer. The pioneer of alpinism was also known as a panoramic draftsman and non-fiction author.

Life

Studer was the son of a notary and official clerk who died early and worked as a panoramic draftsman in his free time. He later exercised these professions as well.

According to his own statements, Studer climbed 643 "mountain heights over 1300 m". In 1839 he led a group of three on the first ascent of the Trift Glacier . In September 1843 he was the first mountaineer to climb the Wildhorn , in July he was able to climb the Rinderhorn for the first time, and in 1864 he made the first ascent of the Gross Wannenhorn . He is also said to have climbed the Sustenhorn and the Basòdino for the first time. Together with the chemist Rudolf Theodor Simler , Studer suggested the founding of a Swiss counterpart in 1862 in response to the founding of the English alpine club, the Alpine Club . The Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) was founded in Olten on April 19, 1863, and he became its auditor. From 1879 he was Vice President of the SAC.

Studer was the governor of the government from 1850 to 1866 . From 1869 to 1871 he published the three-volume work Ueber Eis und Schnee , in which he describes the story of climbing the highest peaks in Switzerland.

Samuel Studer was a cousin of the physicist and geologist Bernhard Studer . His estate and that of his father are kept in the Bern Citizens Library. These include around 900 drawings of Gottlieb Samuel Studer's mountain panoramas.

In the forest parcel near the oaks at the intersection of Neubrückstrasse and Studerstrasse (named after Studer) in Bern, the so-called Studerstein was inaugurated in 1893 in honor of Studer, who had drawn an Alpine panorama from there . Likewise, the 3,634 meter high Studerhorn , east of the Finsteraarhorn , as well as two mountain yokes not far from it and a glacier that still existed at the time are named after him and his cousin Bernhard Studer.
