Life

From 1910 she studied mathematics, physics and chemistry in Leipzig and Munich , something that women had only been able to do for a few years. In 1916 she entered the geophysical institute at the University of Leipzig . The institute directors Robert Wenger and Otto Wiener applied for the top grade for their doctoral thesis entitled “The average state of the atmosphere at Südföhn” . In October 1920 she was the first woman to give a lecture on the same subject at a conference of the German Meteorological Society .

From March 1928 to June 1929 Lammert undertook a research trip to Australia sponsored by the International Federation of University Women . There she tried to apply the front theory co-developed by Vilhelm Bjerknes to Australian conditions and to carry out radiation measurements. The company received a lot of coverage in the Australian press.

From 1935 to 1939 Lammert was in charge of the Northern Black Forest health resort climate district in Baden-Baden . She then worked for a short time at the Reich Office for Weather Service in Berlin . Due to an illness she lived in Chemnitz from 1940, where she died on June 7, 1946.
