Ingeburg Schaacke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ingeburg Schaacke (born March 12, 1910 in Bockwitz , Bad Liebenwerda district ; † August 18, 1966 in Rostock ) was a German mineralogist and crystallographer .

Schaacke graduated from high school in Brandenburg in 1928 and then studied chemistry, mathematics and physics in Leipzig and Kiel until 1934, completing the state examination for higher teaching qualifications. She originally wanted to do a doctorate in astronomy, which the expulsion of Hans Rosenberg broke up. In 1937 she received her doctorate in mineralogy with Johannes Leonhardt in Kiel (formation of twins as a lattice-geometric-number-theoretical problem with application to some real cases ) and was then an assistant in Kiel, where she qualified as a professor in 1942 ( The theory of highly rational intergrowths of cubic lattices ) and from 1944 to 1951 mineralogical chair in Rostock. In 1945 she became a lecturer and professor for mineralogy in Rostock in 1951, from 1954 on with a full teaching position. From 1955 she was director of the Mineralogical Institute. In between, she was also professor at the Karl Liebknecht University of Education from 1951 to 1954 , where she set up the Mineralogical-Geological Institute.

She mainly dealt with mathematical crystallography.

Rolf Seim (from 1953 her assistant in Rostock) and Hermann Neels (Leipzig) are among her students .
