Klaus Lamotke (born May 7, 1936 in Essen ) is a German mathematician.

Life

Lamotke studied in Freiburg and Zurich and received his doctorate in 1961 under Friedrich Hirzebruch and Wolfgang Krull at the University of Bonn on topology with the dissertation Contributions to the homotopy theory of simplicial sets . He was Hirzebruch's first doctoral student. In 1967 he received his habilitation in Bonn. 1968 to 1970 he was an associate professor at Syracuse University . From 1970 he was full professor at the University of Cologne , where he was dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences from 1982 to 1984.

He deals with algebraic topology (including simplicial sets , about which he wrote a book in the basic teaching series by Springer in 1968) and wrote textbooks on simple surface singularities and on Riemann surfaces .
