Max Dingler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Gottfried Dingler (born May 14, 1883 in Landshut ; † June 28, 1961 in Munich ) was a German zoologist and dialect poet .

Life

Dingler, the son of a royal riding officer, entered the NSDAP for the first time in 1922 . After his habilitation in zoology, he became a private lecturer in Munich in 1923 . In the same year he took part in the Hitler putsch . In 1926 he moved to the University of Giessen , where he received an extraordinary professorship. In 1928 he became president of the German Society for General and Applied Entomology .

After the " seizure of power " by the National Socialists , he became a member of the NSDAP again in May 1933. From 1936 to 1945 he was the first director of the Bavarian State Scientific Collections . In 1937 he was appointed honorary professor at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich .

After the end of World War II and his impeachment by the US military government , he retired into private life and devoted himself to preserving the Bavarian language . Numerous poems, stories and folk pieces in dialect originate from him, which today are considered to be an essential contribution to Bavarian literary history. Dingler was also an early conservationist. Since the 1940s he has been campaigning for the preservation of the Murnau Moos in lectures and negotiations with the administration : Moors are "not wasteland, not unland, but primeval land".

The secondary school in Murnau was named after Max Dingler, but was initially renamed Murnau secondary school on July 14, 2011 in an urgent procedure with effect from August 1, 2011. As a result, the resistance fighter Christoph Probst from Murnau became the new school patron.

In Dingler's hometown of Landshut, a path was named after him, but it was renamed August-Preißer-Weg in 2014 at the will of the city's cultural senate.
