Ludwig Nathaniel August Brennecke
Ludwig Nathaniel August Brennecke (born March 6, 1843 in Leitzkau , † April 10, 1931 in Buchschlag ) was a German hydraulic and civil engineering engineer .
Life
Brennecke was the son of a pastor and cousin of Paul Heyse on his mother's side . He studied mechanical engineering and later civil engineering at the trade academy in Berlin and initially worked in bridge construction. For railways he was involved in the construction of the Elbe bridges in Hämerten , Dömitz and Lauenburg / Elbe and was involved in bridge construction in Russia for six years, including the construction of the first permanent Newabrücke in Saint Petersburg. From 1886 to 1891 he was involved in the construction of the Kiel Canal. Then he designed and built dry docks and port facilities for the naval shipyard in Kiel and in 1895 he became the naval port construction director in Wilhelmshaven , whose expansion into a modern port for the war fleet that had been upgraded under Tirpitz he led (three dry docks, third port entrance with double lock, another port basin) . He was a government builder.
He wrote a textbook on basic construction that was widely used at the time, which was translated into several foreign languages and published by Erich Lohmeyer after his death . The 6th edition appeared in 1948. It first appeared in 1887 and was the first monograph on foundation engineering.
In 1905 he received an honorary doctorate from the TH Dresden.
