Jakob Röschmann

Jakob Röschmann (born July 20, 1899 in Sandfeld in the Rendsburg district , † March 19, 1963 in Flensburg ) was a German teacher , local researcher and prehistoric scientist .

Life

Röschmann evidently came from an old Holstein farming family. He has been enthusiastic about local history and prehistory and early history since his youth . At the end of the First World War he had to interrupt his attendance at the teacher training college for military service . He then continued attending the teachers' seminar. In 1921 he completed the first teacher examination. About two years later he became a teacher in Bokel and passed the second teacher examination. His examination papers dealt with prehistoric topics. From 1928 to 1930 Röschmann participated in the archaeological survey initiated by Alfred Tode . In 1930 he continued his prehistoric research activities in Kappeln and became a landscape archaeologist in Angelns . From 1935 Röschmann worked on his life's work, the archaeological survey of the Flensburg district, in which he not only dealt with prehistoric archeology, but also with the medieval castles of fishing. In the meantime, he apparently continued to work as a teacher and ultimately became a secondary school principal . Jakob Röschmann suffered a heart attack while writing the last pages of the index of his comprehensive book on the prehistory of the Flensburg district , of which he died. The 680-page book, in which Röschmann described a lot of archaeological evidence that has meanwhile been completely destroyed, was published posthumously.

In the Weiche district of Flensburg , Jakob-Röschmann-Weg was named after him in 2002.
