Max Breitenöder (born April 12, 1909 in Lauffen am Neckar , † April 23, 1967 in Karlsruhe ) was a German hydraulic engineer and university professor .

Life

He attended school in Brackenheim. From 1925 to 1927 he did a commercial apprenticeship in Heilbronn . From 1927 to 1928 he made his Abitur in Heilbronn. He then studied civil engineering at the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences , received his diploma in 1932 and joined the NSDAP . He then went to the preparatory service for the state examination at the Ravensburg Cultural Building Authority, the Heilbronn Cultural Building Authority, the Ludwigsburg State Technical Authority and in a bridge and construction office of the C. Baresel AG company in early 1936. In early 1936 he passed his government builder examination in Stuttgart and became a scientific assistant at the Rehbocksen river engineering laboratory the Technical University of Karlsruhe under the direction of Heinrich Ernst August Wittmann and the operations manager Paul Böss .

In September 1939 he received his doctorate with Wittmann and Böss with the thesis level groundwater currents with free surface . From 1939 to 1942 he was deputy head of the water management office in Ellwangen an der Jagst. From 1939 to 1941 he was deployed in World War II, wounded in the leg, and dismissed unfit for service. The walking disability resulting from a wound impaired his future life. At the end of May 1942 he completed his habilitation at the Technical University of Karlsruhe with Wittmann, Böss and the mathematics lecturer Fritz Reutter (1911–1990), as a representative for Gerhard Haenzel , who was called up for military service, with the text The inflow to drainage pipes in mineral soils: an agricultural problem Hydraulic engineering with the help of the theory of potential and from the winter semester 1942/43 was next to his position as head of department at the Theodor-Rehbock river laboratory, diet lecturer for agricultural hydraulic engineering, water management and soil culture.

In 1945 he participated in the Volkssturm from May 1945 to September 1946 who was interned by the Office of Military Government for Germany (US) . From May 1948 to 1953 he was head of the technical office at the Ministry of Agriculture Württemberg-Baden, water management department in Ludwigsburg. From 1953 to 1957 he was the reporter for general tasks of agricultural hydraulic engineering at the regional council of North Württemberg, department of water management. During this time he was promoted to the higher government and building council and head of the soil science laboratory there. In the 1950 summer semester he was teaching agricultural hydraulic engineering at the Stuttgart Agricultural University. From the winter semester 1950/51 he had a teaching position for the same subject at the Technical University of Stuttgart. From the winter semester of 1955/56, further teaching assignments for civil engineering II and melioration in Stuttgart and Hohenheim followed.

In February 1957 he was appointed as an associate professor and two years later as a full professor at the Institute for Hydraulics, Agricultural Hydraulic Engineering and Sanitary Engineering of the Graz University of Technology , where he worked until the end of 1964. In the academic years 1964/62 and 1962/63 he was dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering. In 1964 he returned to the Federal Republic of Germany and received the professorship for hydraulic engineering and hydrodynamics at the Technical University of Karlsruhe.

He further expanded the institute for hydromechanics, dams and water supply of this university , which Paul Böss had taken over.
