Heinz Dost

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Dost (born May 24, 1927 in Teplitz-Schönau , Czechoslovakia , † August 1, 1976 ) was a German biologist and illustrator .

Life

Dost was born out of wedlock to Count Glatz and Lydia Flügel (née Dost). As a result of this fact, which was not tolerated at the time, he grew up with his grandparents (Hans Dost family) in Nordhausen, from whom he was ultimately adopted. At the beginning of 1945 he was obliged to work in the Nordhaus ammunition factory. There he was sentenced to death in late April 1945 for making destabilizing speeches. After one of the last bombings by the Allies, the prison was so badly damaged that he was seriously injured and was able to flee into the nearby forest and hide there until the end of the war (recognized as VdN).

He studied graphics in the GDR and passed his diploma. This was followed by many orders, mainly for education and book illustrations ( teaching material at the Pößneck plant) .

In 1976, at the age of 49, he succumbed to longstanding cancer .

He lived in what was then the German Democratic Republic and is known less for his research than for his work on the school cards that were issued by the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the GDR in the Volk und Wissen Volkseigen Verlag Berlin . Dost headed the cards to cells , ferns , animals of the Cretaceous and cruciferous vegetables on the example of rape in.
