Kurt Biehayn (born November 8, 1885 in Meißen ; † March 31, 1967 in Dresden ) was a German surveyor who gained national fame through his work promoting local research.

Life

Biehan was born in the porcelain town of Meißen on the Elbe and attended the community school there until 1895. He then switched to secondary school until 1902. He then took up an apprenticeship as a geometer in Meissen , which he successfully completed in 1905. He then worked in several surveying offices before he began studying at the Technical University of Dresden in 1908, which he completed the following year as a surveyor. He then worked in the land surveying office of the state capital of Dresden until May 1946. He was called Stadtoberlandmesser and lived in Dresden, Walderseeplatz 11b (today: Stresemannplatz).

In 1946 Kurt Biehayn took on a part-time and from 1947 a full-time position as a technical college lecturer. At the same time he was appointed to the surveying council. In 1952 he retired after the headquarters of the technical college had been relocated to Cottbus . Nevertheless, he was still active. In 1955/56 he led several weeks of courses for all students of prehistory and early history in the GDR on surveying as an introduction to practical ground monument maintenance. He died in 1967 in the retirement home on Bürgerwiese in Dresden.

His most important specialist publications include several lesson letters on surveying for the building industry, which appeared in the 1950s and were partly developed jointly by him and Johannes Haupt.

At the age of 75 he wrote Das Triebischtal in Meißen through the ages for the magazine Meißner Heimat , which was published in several sequels in 1960 by the Meißner Heimat publishing house.
