Karl Beger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Moritz Beger (born October 22, 1885 in Pirna ; † July 20, 1957 in Leipzig ) was a German hydraulic engineer and university professor .

Life

In 1904 he obtained his Abitur at the Dreikönigsschule in Dresden and studied civil engineering at the Technical University of Dresden . In the autumn of 1911 he passed the main diploma examination for civil engineering at the Technical University of Danzig , where he became an assistant at the Research Institute for Hydraulic Engineering. In 1912 he became government construction manager at the Elbing State Water Management Authority and the Danzig Port Authority. During his training at the Prussian hydraulic engineering administration, he got to know the difficult conditions in the mouth of the Vistula. From 1914 to 1918 he was used in the First World War. After the First World War he headed the design office of the Danzig-Neufahrwasser port construction office. In 1919 he became an assistant at the Institute for River Engineering and Foundation Engineering at the Technical University of Danzig at the Research Institute for Hydraulic Engineering in Danzig. There he received his doctorate in 1922 and in 1923 became senior construction manager for the construction of hydroelectric power plants in the city of Gdansk. In October 1927 Beger was appointed full professor for water management and foundation engineering at the Technical University in Breslau . After 1945 he was employed in the Saxon road and hydraulic engineering administration. When teaching and research activities were resumed at the Technical University in Dresden in October 1948, he was appointed professor of hydraulic engineering and director of the Hubert Engels (engineer) river engineering laboratory.

He campaigned for the resumption of teaching and research work at the Technical University of Dresden. Within a few years he succeeded in building on the tradition of Hubert Engels in the field of hydraulic engineering, water management and hydraulic engineering testing. He was killed in a car accident.
