Karl Flierl

Karl Flierl (born June 21, 1886 in Ingolstadt ; † August 3, 1967 in Munich ) was a German hydraulic engineer and university professor .

Life

He spent his school days in Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate and in Ansbach . He studied civil engineering at the Technical University in Munich and graduated in 1909 as a graduate engineer. In 1912 he passed the state examination for higher construction service. After his assistantship at the Technical University of Munich, he was in the army from 1914 to 1918 in the First World War. After working for an engineering office, he was employed by Rhein-Main-Donau AG from spring 1922 . He began as a designer and deputy director of the civil engineering department, later received power of attorney and was head of the civil engineering department from 1941 until he left in 1946. In 1923 he received his doctorate. On May 1, 1946, Flierl was appointed successor to Kaspar Dantscher at the chair for hydraulic engineering at the Technical University of Munich. In addition, he had to take over Otto Streck's field of teaching , hydraulics and hydrology, as well as the reconstruction and management of the research institute. On the mediation of the rector of the August Rucker University , an exchange of assistants and ideas began in 1951 between Flierl's chair and the Instituto di Idralica of the University of Bologna, which was under the direction of Giulio Supino (October 8, 1898 Florence, July 5, 1978 in Bologna ) . In the summer of 1954, Karl Flierl retired and at the same time was commissioned to continue the chair until the spring of 1955. Flier played a key role in all major projects at Rhein-Main-Donau AG, such as the Kachletwerk near Passau and the first barrages on the Main . He also made special contributions to the resumption of teaching and hydraulic engineering research at the destroyed Technical University in Munich. After his retirement he translated a. a. the Hydrodynamica by Daniel Bernoulli and wrote a comment on it.
