Life

Karl Boehm studied from the winter semester 1891/92 at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg and received his doctorate under Leo Koenigsberger on August 1, 1896 and habilitated on July 7, 1900 . He then worked as a private lecturer in Heidelberg and was appointed associate professor on November 25, 1904. In the winter semester of 1913/14, Karl Boehm moved to the University of Königsberg . In 1917 he was appointed full professor at the Technical University of Karlsruhe , where he worked until his retirement in 1936. At the beginning of the Second World War he was a cryptanalyst in Inspection 7 Group IV (later Group VI ) of the Army High Command (OKH / In 7 / IV).

On March 11, 1916, Karl Boehm was accepted into the Leopoldina as a member ( matriculation no. 3373 ) . In 1929 he became an extraordinary member of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and in 1953 an honorary citizen of the TH Karlsruhe.

His students include Maria Margarete Blass (* 1887), who received her PhD from the University of Königsberg in 1915. phil. and Wilhelm Quade , who did his doctorate with him at the TH Karlsruhe with his dissertation printed in 1932.
