Johann Heinrich Sandstede

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Heinrich Sandstede (born March 20, 1859 in Bad Zwischenahn ; † February 28, 1951 there ) was a German self-taught plant researcher and botanist ( lichenologist ). His botanical-mycological author's abbreviation is “ Sandst. ".

Life

Sandstede was the eldest son of the master baker Gerhard Diedrich Sandstede and Catharina Margarete geb. Hardness. He attended elementary school in Zwischenahn , completed an apprenticeship as a baker in his father's business and in 1876 went on the usual wanderings as a journeyman . After his return, he took over his father's business, which he ran until 1912. On May 26, 1885, he married Helene Sophie zu Klampen (* 1863), the daughter of Johann zu Klampen and Anna Margarethe geb. Müller.

Research work

Sandstede was already interested in botany as a child and acquired the basic knowledge for it through self-study. In 1879 he met the school director and botanist Friedrich Müller from Varel . Müller himself researched the Oldenburg moorland and promoted Sandstede by drawing his attention to lichens . Together, Müller and Sandstede then explored the lichen flora of the Ammerland in their free time and in the following years also included Heligoland , the North and East Frisian islands and Rügen in their field of study.

In 1889 Sandstede published his first work on the lichen flora of the northwest German lowlands , which was soon followed by further studies. Almost all of the writings were published in the series of publications of the Natural Science Association in Bremen . From 1912 Sandstede specialized in the widespread lichen genus Cladonia and created a number of herbariums in which he collected almost 2,000 species and forms. In March 1930, the Faculty of Natural Sciences awarded him the University of Münster the honorary doctorate .

In 1939 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .

Sandstede was also internationally recognized as a specialist and the most important cladonia researcher in Germany. He was elected a member of numerous scientific associations and societies.

He continued to research the region's field names and house brands , sponsored the performance of Low German plays, and published the results of his research in magazine and newspaper articles.
