Johannes Thiele (1860-1935)

Karl Emil Hermann Johannes Thiele (born October 1, 1860 in Goldap , East Prussia , † August 5, 1935 ) was a German zoologist and specialist in the field of malacology .

Life

Johannes Thiele studied natural sciences with Franz Eilhard Schulze at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Berlin , then at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg and received his doctorate in 1886 with the thesis Die Mundlappen der Lambellibranchiaten . He then worked as an assistant at the Naples Zoological Station , from 1891 at the Royal Zoological and Anthropological-Ethnographic Museum in Dresden , from 1895 at the Strasbourg Zoological Institute , where he worked on the sponges that Ludwig Döderlein had collected in Japan , and from 1896 at the Göttingen Zoological Institute . In 1898 he moved to the Zoological Institute of the Agricultural University in Berlin . From 1899 to 1905 he was in charge of the crustacean department at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin at the University of Berlin - initially as a scientific assistant, from 1903 as curator . He completed his habilitation with a thesis on entomology and was appointed professor .

He then took over as the successor to Eduard von Martens as custody of the museum's mollusc department, which he held until his retirement in 1925. Thiele published some authoritative works on the systematics of the molluscs . He acquired particular importance through the suggestion of a new system of molluscs, which was to have a great influence over decades. His ideas about the relationships within molluscs, especially snails, were only overtaken in 1997 by the publication of a cladistic analysis by Ponder and Lindberg. He had been a member of the German Malacozoological Society since 1905 and an honorary member since 1930 .

Thiele described more than 1,500 new mollusc species, the type material of which is deposited at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin to this day. Outstanding in terms of the number of scientifically described species for the first time are Thiele's processing of the mollusc yields of the first German South Pole Expedition and the German Deep Sea Expedition .

Johannes Thiele married Fanny Wolle on October 22nd, 1888. The couple had four children - a daughter and three sons.
