Kurt Spangenberg
Kurt Spangenberg (born January 25, 1889 in Weida , † April 1, 1957 in Tübingen ) was a German mineralogist and crystallographer .
Spangenberg received his doctorate from Gottlob Linck in Jena in 1912 and completed his habilitation after military service in the First World War in Jena in 1920, where he became an unpaid associate professor of mineralogy in 1922. In 1924 he became associate professor and in 1924 full professor for mineralogy in Kiel (as successor to Alfred Bergeat ). In 1929 he became a full professor in Breslau (he turned down a simultaneous call to Würzburg). From 1945 he was a private scholar and lecturer and from 1952 a full professor in Tübingen.
He dealt with experimental studies of crystal growth on alum crystals , for example the measurement of the growth rate, and with applied mineralogy (cement, glass, refractory materials).
In 1940 he was elected a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina .
Siegfried Haussühl and Alfred Neuhaus are among his doctoral students .
