Life

Otto Grove was born in the Upper Harz mountain town of Goslar in 1836 during the Kingdom of Hanover . He received his training in the royal seat of Hanover, where he passed his first state examination in mechanical engineering at the then local polytechnic school . Grove also worked at the Polytechnic School in Hanover from 1858 onwards, initially as assistant to Moritz Rühlmann , and then in 1860 to succeed August Ritter as a teacher of mechanical engineering. Parallel to his university activities, Grove was one of the leading members in the management of the trade association for the Kingdom of Hanover , alongside Karl Karmarsch , Friedrich Heeren , Moritz Rühlmann, the architect Heinrich Köhler and others. When the civil engineer August von Kaven was appointed director of the Aachen Polytechnic in 1869 , he wanted to take Grove with him to the educational institution in Aachen. However, Karmarsch managed to get Grove to stay in Hanover. In the early days of the German Empire , Otto Grove accepted a call to the newly founded Royal Technical University of Charlottenburg in 1879 , while Wilhelm Riehn Grove succeeded him in Hanover. Grove, however, moved from Berlin to Munich to the Ludwig Maximilians University about a year later .

On June 13, 1901 Otto Grove, who had meanwhile been elevated to a secret government council and who worked in Munich, was awarded the title of Dr.-Ing. e. H. awarded. The Groves place of work in Munich also awarded its university professor, who had also been raised to the nobility , an honorary doctorate. Otto Grove was a member of the Association of German Engineers , Hanover District Association, and published various articles on railway engineering through their magazine.
