Martin Oschmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Oschmann (born June 23, 1930 in Friedrichroda ; † July 22, 2012 in Bernburg ) was a German biologist specializing in entomology and phytopathology . As an orthopterologist in Central Germany, he made significant contributions to research. He also worked as a museologist and regional historian and published writings.

Life

From poor out (Mother laundress father Tüncher, four children) has the Martin Oschmann Workers and Peasants Faculty of German Democratic Republic acquired the university from 1948 to 1950 and following of the University of Jena , a biology - and pedagogy added. He only worked for a short time as a teacher and took a detour to find his place in research. He first found it at the Museum der Natur (previously the Central Biological Museum) in Gotha , then from 1970 at the Institute for Grain Research at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Bernburg-Strenzfeld. From 1958 to 1970 he worked at the Museum Gotha as curator and deputy director. From 1959 to 1961 his first contributions on the history of science appeared in the Gotha magazine "Der Friedenstein". With the results of his extensive eco-faunistic studies with point mapping and biotope binding , he received his doctorate in 1969 at Jena University under Otto Hüsing (1912–1990).

He worked on entomological and ecological topics in Bernburg. The prediction models for the occurrence of harmful pathogens developed from his research results were widely used in state plant protection in the GDR. In retirement he devoted himself to the processing of further results of orthopter research and especially phenological relationships. He also carried out regional research in Thuringia, from which a number of publications emerged in the second half of the 1990s, the majority in the daily newspaper Thüringer Allgemeine .
