Marlies Teichmüller

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marie-Luise Barbara "Marlies" Teichmüller , née Köster, (born November 11, 1914 in Herne ; † September 12, 2000 in Krefeld ) was a German geologist who dealt in particular with the geology and petrography of coal, often in collaboration with her husband Rolf Teichmüller .

Life

Teichmüller attended school in Egeln near Magdeburg , Heygendorf near Artern and Herne (Abitur in Herne 1934) and studied geography and mathematics in Freiburg im Breisgau , then geography and geology at the University of Berlin with a US stay at the US coal industry Petrograph R. Thiessen from the US Bureau of Mines in Pittsburgh, where she began her dissertation. She received her doctorate in 1941 with Hans Stille in Berlin on the petrography of American coal, but was actually a student of Erich Stach (1896–1990), a specialist in coal petrography, then a private lecturer in Berlin, with whom she also worked after War in Krefeld worked together. Another of their teachers was the paleobotanist Walther Gothan . After completing her doctorate, she worked at the Geological Reichsanstalt in Berlin and, after the Second World War, first in Bochum , where she dealt with Rhenish lignite, and then at the Geological State Office of North Rhine-Westphalia in Krefeld . In 1984 she retired, but continued to do research at the State Office.

She was married to the geologist Rolf Teichmüller (1904–1983) since 1938.

In 1969 she and her husband received the Hans Stille Medal , and in 1978 she received the Carl Engler Medal of the German Scientific Society for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Coal (DGMK). In 1953 she was a founding member of the International Committee for Coal Petrology (ICCP).

She made numerous contributions to the geology and petrography of coal and her work on coalification also had an impact on petroleum geology. In particular, she refined microscopic techniques for studying coal (in the 1970s, for example, fluorescence microscopy, later transmission electron microscopy).

In 1992 she founded the Rolf and Marlies Teichmüller Foundation (based at the German Geological Society - Geological Association ), which awards grants and prizes to young scientists.
