Karl Friedrich Otto Seubert (born April 6, 1851 in Karlsruhe , † January 31, 1942 in Hanover ) was a German chemist , pharmacist , university professor and author .

Life

Karl Seubert was the son of Moritz August Seubert , professor of zoology and botany in Karlsruhe, and Maria Seubert. After graduating from school in 1866, he completed an apprenticeship as a pharmacist in Mannheim , which he completed in 1869 with the assistant examination. He initially worked as an assistant in Ludwig Leiner's pharmacy in Konstanz , until the Franco-German War broke out in 1870 , where he served as a soldier for a year and received the rank of non-commissioned officer . After the end of his service, he continued to work at Leiner until he began studying pharmacy in Karlsruhe in the winter semester of 1872/73, which he completed two years later with the state examination in pharmaceuticals.

In 1874 he became a temporary assistant lecturer with Lothar Meyer at the Karlsruhe Polytechnic ; In 1875 he got a position as assistant in a technical-analytical laboratory in Breslau for three semesters . He then returned to Karlsruhe before starting his doctorate with Lothar Meyer in Tübingen in 1878. In January 1881 he finally submitted his habilitation thesis .

He subsequently continued to work as Meyer's assistant in Tübingen and became an associate professor with a teaching position for analytical and pharmaceutical chemistry in July 1885, after having been refused a few months earlier due to his intended dual function as first assistant and associate professor. From 1893 his extraordinary professorship was converted into a regular position.

In 1895 he accepted a professorship for inorganic and analytical chemistry at the TH Hannover (as successor to Karl Kraut ), which he held until 1921. There he dealt among other things with the "further development of the periodic table of the elements " and the "determination of the atomic weights of platinum metals " .

Works

Seubert was co-editor of Lothar Meyer's 1883 book "The atomic weights of the elements recalculated from the original numbers" .

He translated and edited beyond the textbooks "Inorganic Chemistry" ( Inorganic Chemistry ) and "An introduction to the study of chemistry" ( Introduction to the Study of Chemistry ) of the American chemist Ira Remsen into German. The latter was continued from the 9th edition in 1935 by Prof. Hans Reihlen.
