Lothar Wessolly

Lothar Wessolly (* 20th century ) is a German engineer and non-fiction author .

Live and act

Lothar Wessolly completed a degree in aerospace engineering at the University of Stuttgart with a doctorate, but has been working exclusively in the research field of tree statics since the 1990s , which he largely co-founded by transferring strength control methods used in other engineering disciplines to the problem of tree control .

During this time he developed the so-called Elasto- / Inclino-Method (SIM) to determine the stability and break resistance of a tree. This is related to the AfB method developed by Günter Sinn ; The separate development of the two test methods was preceded by close cooperation between the Laboratory for Tree Statics (AfB, Günter Sinn) and the Institute for Model Statics at the University of Stuttgart, which Wessolly is headed .

Critically, he sat down at the award ceremony of the German Environmental Award 2003 Claus Matt Heck with its tree-damaging Visual Tree Assessment method apart, one to which he has developed static Integrated Assessment (SIA) in competition standing tree diagnostic procedure .

Lothar Wessolly runs an engineering and appraisal office in Stuttgart-Botnang. Over the decades he has drawn up more than 10,000 reports across Europe, always with the aim of conserving as many of the endangered trees as possible.
