Johannes Böhm (geologist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes August Böhm (born August 31, 1857 in Danzig ; † 1938 ) was a German paleontologist and geologist .

Life

He was the son of a tannery owner in Danzig and from 1877 studied first modern languages ​​and then natural sciences in Berlin. In 1879 he continued his studies in Breslau, Kiel and Bonn. In 1885 he received his doctorate in paleontology from the University of Bonn .

From 1901 to 1923 he was with the Prussian Geological State Institute (PGLA).

Contrary to some literature, the mineral boehmite was probably named after the chemist Johann Böhm of the same name and not after the geologist. Since 1887 he was a member of the Danzig Masonic Lodge Zur Einigkeit .
