Moritz Büsgen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moritz Heinrich Wilhelm Albert Emil Büsgen (* July 24, 1858 in Weilburg ; † June 12, 1921 in Hann. Münden ) was a Nassau , German botanist at the Royal Prussian Forest Academy in Hann. Münden . He went on various research trips. The publications of his research results are still considered standard works in their field to this day .

family

Büsgen came from a family of mayors in Diez originally from Hachenburg , his grandfather Moritz Büsgen (1778–1848) was a Nassau colonel leader of the Nassau troops in the battle of Waterloo .

Life

Büsgen completed his studies at the universities in Bonn , Berlin and Strasbourg . There he did his doctorate under Anton de Bary (1882) and after working at the zoological station in Naples he became de Bary's assistant. The habilitation takes place with Ernst Stahl at the University of Jena , where Büsgen worked as a private lecturer and associate professor of botany from 1886 to 1892 . In 1893/1901 he was professor at the Grand Ducal Saxon Forestry School in Eisenach and from 1901 professor at the Royal Prussian Forest Academy in Hannoversch Münden . Büsgen also undertook various research trips, for example to Java - Dutch East Indies (1902/1903) with Walter Busse and to the German colonies of Cameroon and Togo (1908–1909). His work on insectivore (1883) provided evidence that the honeydew of plants is caused partly by parasitic fungi and partly by aphids and scale insects and damages them (1891). Büsgen's main work, however, is the construction and life of our forest trees , the summary and critical processing of the literature on forest trees from 1897, which is considered a standard work (after Jakob E. Huber ).

Büsgen as namesake

An institute in the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology at the Georg-August University of Göttingen was named after Büsgen . A street on the grounds of the northern area of ​​the university in Weende also bears his name.
