Paul Guthörl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Guthörl (born March 25, 1895 in Uchtelfangen ; † September 8, 1963 in Sulzbach / Saar ) was a German geologist and paleontologist . His nephew was the archaeologist Alfons Kolling .

Life

The craftsman's son, who was born in Uchtelfangen, began training as a miner at the Göttelborn mine . From 1920 he worked for five years as a mine and weather climber before he was appointed curator of the geological collection of the Saarbergwerke mountain school . In addition to his work as a teacher at the Saarbrücken mountain school , he dealt with the Saar carbon . Guthörl is buried in Sulzbach / Saar.

Services

The autodidact achieved his first scientific recognition in 1927 when he was accepted into the Upper Rhine Geological Association .

Paul GUTHÖRL started out as a miner with a normal career up to a steiger. He was thus a member of a socially clearly defined population group that, like many others, only tolerated deviations from the set or unsettled norms to a small extent. The intensive, at first in no way official, scientific activity was something whose meaning could not be conveyed.

He published more than a hundred geological and paleontological treatises. In recognition of his excellent research into the Saar geology, the Senckenberg Natural History Society awarded him the Iron Medal of Honor in 1935 . From the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main , he was also awarded the honorary title and title of Doctor of Natural Sciences in 1935 in recognition of his research into the Saar geology. On November 7, 1960, he was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit, First Class. Guthörl was the first to describe the insect Protereisma rossenrayensis Guthörl in 1965. In his honor, the fern Saaropteris guthoerli was named in his honor by Max Hirmer (1940) . The Sulzbacher layers of Saar carbon from the Frankenholz pit were found .
