from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Adolph Dammert (* 1768 ; † February 14, 1836 in Hameln ) was hydraulic engineering director in Hameln from 1831.

His parents were the Hamelin lock master Christian Ludwig Dammert (1719–1786) and Sophie Margarethe Hillebrecht (1731–1801). His grandfather Johann Conrad "Cord" Dammert (* 1662 in Hannoversch-Münden ; † 1759 in Hameln) was a carpenter, sawmill, lock master, hydraulic engineer and bridge architect who invented the Mudde mill around 1756. His brothers included Johann Christian (1754–1828; Oberdeichgraf in Hoya-Diepholz), Ezechiel Adolph (1776–1834) and Anton Heinrich (1765–1829), who started building the Ems-Hase Canal and restoring the dikes from 1824 after the February flood of 1825 .

From the summer semester of 1792 Richard Adolph Dammert studied mathematics and experimental physics with Georg Christoph Lichtenberg ; furthermore astronomy, meteorology and theory of the earth.

In 1794 he became a dike conductor in the Lower Elbe district and two years later he was also a lock master. In 1803 he was appointed hydraulic engineering commissioner and in 1821 chief commissioner. 1824–1829 he was entrusted with the supervision of the hydraulic structures and in 1831 he was director of hydraulic engineering in Hameln.

The relatives Adolf Peters (1803–1876), who were taken into custody, acquired his mathematical training here.
