Peter Gutte

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Gutte (born January 10, 1939 in Dresden ) is a German geobotanist and is considered one of the best neophyte experts in Central Europe.

Life

Peter Gutte grew up as the son of the smallholder and forest worker Paul Gutte and his wife Lisbeth geb. Müller in Hellendorf , later in the GDR . His teacher Heinz Grundig (1917–1992) imparted him with basic botanical knowledge. After graduating from high school in Pirna , Gutte studied biology and chemistry in Leipzig from 1957 with the professional goal of teaching, then from 1959 biology.

Both his diploma thesis in 1962 and his dissertation in 1969 deal with ruderal plant societies in Leipzig and Saxony. From 1963 he was a research assistant at the Botanical Institute of the University of Leipzig , was custodian of the herbarium in 1974 and lecturer in geobotany in 1988 , from 1998 until he left the service in 2002, custodian of the botanical garden in Leipzig .

Several stays abroad took him to Latin America, which in 1981 resulted in his habilitation thesis on "Vegetation Studies in the High Andes of Peru".

With his Flora of the City of Leipzig (2006) and as the lead editor of the new edition of the Flora of Saxony Gutte has earned lasting merits. Specialists from Central Europe turn to him when it comes to identifying unclear ruderal plants and neophytes , especially from the families Chenopodiaceae , Amaranthaceae and Onagraceae .
