Hans-Hermann Karl Engel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans-Hermann Karl Engel (born October 15, 1936 in Dramburg , Province of Pomerania ) is a German entrepreneur and web maker. He became known as a developer of modern deep-sea fishing methods and fishing gear and, above all, for the further development of the pelagic trawl .

Life

Engel is the son of the inland fisherman Hermann Engel and his wife Hildegard Engel, born. Frank. After 1945 the family fled to the west. Engel went to school in Glückstadt on the Elbe . In 1954 he began an apprenticeship as a net maker in his parents' business, which his father had founded in 1951 on the Kieler Seefischmarkt. He also attended evening grammar school and graduated from school there. In 1961, the German Promotion Agency for Developing Countries, which later became part of the German Society for Technical Cooperation , commissioned a team of fishery experts through the Federal Research Center for Fisheries ( Hamburg ) to transform Thai fisheries into modern deep-sea fishing . Engel was part of the team from 1961 to 1964 and lived in the Gulf of Thailand during this time . In 1972 he and his brother Manfred took over in 1969 from Kiel to Bremerhaven resettled operating Hermann Engel & Co network fabrication GmbH as managing partner of her father. In 2010 he left the company after the company was handed over to Manfred Engels s sons Michael and Markus Engel.

From 1979 to 2008 Engel was honorary alderman and lay judge at the Labor Court Bremerhaven .

Services

Engel developed the pelagic trawl net in collaboration with the Federal Research Institute for Fisheries . H. a single-ship trawl, which can be regulated in the towing height and thus aimed specifically at fish stocks, is crucial. Engel nets were used for research purposes and for commercial fishing in many countries and fishing areas, including on the German fishery research vessels Walther Herwig and Anton Dohrn . In 1974, Hans-Hermann Engel designed what was then the largest pelagic trawl in the world (51 m high, 73 m wide, 280 m long) and built it for Bremerhaven's Hanseatische Hochseefischerei , an operator of fishing vessels.

The term angel net was adopted by Robert Dluhy in his standard work Ship Technical Dictionary as a synonym for pelagic trawls. The Canadian government uses the term engel trawl to define high-opening trawls.

Honors

In recognition of his services to the development of Thailand, Engel was appointed as a knight in the Most Noble Order of the Crown of Thailand by King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand in 1972 and was awarded the corresponding order of 5th class.
