Siegfried Altmann (born July 20, 1936 in Riesa ) is a German engineer and professor of general and theoretical electrical engineering . His professional competence lies in the areas of electrical power engineering , overhead contact line systems for electric railways , electrical safety , reliability , safety and accident research .

Career

Siegfried Altmann was the second son of the bricklayer Richard Altmann (1912–1985) and his wife Anna Altmann, b. Frank (1914–1963) was born in Riesa, Saxony. From 1942 to 1950 he attended a primary school in Riesa and then, until 1953, he completed his professional training as a company electrician in the Riesa steel and rolling mill, as well as a brief activity as a training instructor. In 1953 he went to study at the engineering school for electrical engineering in Mittweida , where he studied electromedical devices and X-ray technology . He graduated as an engineer in 1956.

Since 1958 he has worked with the industrial clerk Johanna Altmann , geb. Fegert married; the couple has a grown daughter (clinical psychologist).

Electrical engineer in industry and universities

Altmann initially worked from 1956 to 1960 as an assembly and project planning engineer in the field of catenary construction for the Reichsbahn electrification in the heavy current plant construction company in Halle (Saale) . During this activity he worked as an assembly engineer for the electrification of Leipzig Central Station and the adjacent routes to Dessau-Rosslau-Meinsdorf , Magdeburg and Probstzella . As a project planning engineer, he planned the routes including the respective train stations:

Here he gained practical experience, which at the same time formed an essential basis for his later research in the university sector.

In the period from 1960 to 1972 he was a research assistant and later senior assistant at the Institute for Electric Railways and Systems (Director: Helmut Koch ), later renamed the Transport Electronics Technology Working Group (Head: Rudolf Schulze ) at the "Friedrich List" University of Transport in Dresden (HfV). During this time, from 1960 to 1967, in addition to his professional activity, he completed a distance learning course in electrical engineering at the HfV, specializing in electrical railways and systems, specializing in "Energy supply for electrical railways". Here he achieved his first academic degree in engineering with a thesis on the subject of "A contribution to the reduction of maintenance work in the catenary network" (expert: Helmut Koch ).

Immediately following thereto was made in 1970 his promotion to Doctor of Engineering (Dr.-Ing.) At the same institution with the thesis "A Contribution to practical calculation important rope constructions in catenary systems for higher speeds, suggestions on uniform methods of calculation and the experimental determination of the above the trailer in the DC contact line network flowing currents when loaded by the electric traction vehicle ”(Reviewer: Rudolf Schulze and Paul Kahler , HfV Dresden).

During his activity at the HfV Dresden he was entrusted with the following courses: Energy supply for electric railways by means of converters (1960 to 1962) and project planning with the calculation of contact line systems for electric railways (1960 to 1971), coupled with associated research activities. During this time he supervised over 30 diploma theses. Altmann successfully completed a further training course in the field of electronic data processing (EDP) at the HfV Dresden in 1970 . As a conclusion, the subject-specific problem “Calculations for tightly tensioned contact lines” was worked on (computer system Minsk 22 and FEL-ALGOL) and a course in the field of systematic heuristics .

From 1972 to 1976 he switched back to the industrial sector and took over the establishment and management of the research group "Electrical Safety " at the Central Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (ZIAS) of the GDR in Dresden (Director: Horst Rehtanz ), today's branch of the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health . The first work in the field of “quantitative evaluation of electrical safety and protection quality” was carried out on the basis of objective and subjective probabilities, coupled with models of fuzzy logic and qualimetry . He later continued this field of work at the TH Leipzig and the HTWK Leipzig .

During this time he acquired the Facultas Docendi (university teaching qualification) in 1975 for “practical electrical engineering”. In 1975 he successfully completed a correspondence course “Reliability in Electrical Engineering / Electronics” at the KDT district association in Dresden (course leader and mentor of the thesis: Kurt Reinschke ). From 1971 to 1975 Altmann taught business mathematics and the application of mathematical methods in economics as a part-time job at the company academy for electrical engineering in Sachsenwerk Dresden .

University lecturer

In 1976 Altmann received an appointment as a university lecturer for the basics of electrical engineering at the Leipzig Engineering University .

It was during this time that his B doctorate for Dr. sc. techn. (Electrical engineering) at the HfV Dresden in 1977 on the topic of "Problems of reliability and protection quality in special electrotechnical products and the derivation of long-term priority tasks for electrical safety " (Reviewer: Rudolf Schulze, HfV Dresden; Paul Wolowczyk, TU Dresden and Walter Frischmann, TH Leipzig ), which was recognized as a habilitation after reunification .

Working as a professor of electrical engineering

Leipzig, Wächterstraße 13, building of the former THL for the two sections automation systems and electrical power systems ; today Wiener-Bau : Faculty building of the HTWK

In the autumn of 1979 Altmann was appointed full professor to the chair for the basics of electrical engineering and head of the scientific department "Operation of electrical energy systems" at the Technical University of Leipzig (THL), section electrical energy systems (Director: Friedrich-Wilhelm Kloeppel ). In the spring of 1980 he was appointed director of the electrical power equipment section and he held this position until the fall of 1990. At the TH Leipzig, in close cooperation with the automation systems section (director: Werner Richter ), the technological profile line systems of electrical engineering in training and research developed as a unique specialization in the German-speaking area.

Altmann carried out academic teaching on a larger scale. In addition to his major in fundamentals of electrical engineering, he also taught theoretical electrical engineering, non-linear electrical networks, the theory of lines and electrical safety. He has sustainably stabilized the training of qualified engineers in the specialization of electrical energy systems through his courses for the fundamentals and significantly expanded it through his special subjects. Altmann was also a member of the Faculty of Technical Sciences and the Senate of the TH Leipzig (1980 to 1990). In this role, he managed over 50 doctoral procedures.

During his activity as Section Director, Altmann also paid particular attention to establishing international contacts with colleges and universities in Kiev (Ukraine), Wrocław and Poznań (Poland) and Budapest (Hungary), where he himself gave several guest lectures and participated in doctoral procedures. Mention should also be made of his cooperative contacts with the ETH Zurich and the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg in the areas of promoting young scientists and in doctoral procedures.

In his role as director, he initiated, in close cooperation with the Vice-Rector for Natural and Technical Sciences Dietrich Balzer , the formation of a university-industrial research group for electrical energy systems (HIFOG-EEA). It formed the basis for an even closer cooperation with the practice partners, in particular the Institute Test Field and High Voltage Technology (IPH) Berlin. The HIFOG-EEA was headed by Wolfgang Löschner . The main goal was the rapid introduction of CAD / CAM solutions in electrical system construction. She was funded and supported by the Kombinat Elektroenergieanlagenbau (KEA) Leipzig and the KDT district board Leipzig ( Werner Kriesel as vice chairman).

In 1986, as a professor, he founded a “Technical Student Society for Electrical Engineering / Electronics” in the section. The duration of this pre-university course was four years.

With a workforce of around 100 employees, numerous doctoral positions, around 30 staff positions in the HIFOG-EEA as a transfer facility and around 300 students, one of the largest university institutions in the German-speaking region with an exclusive specialization in electrical power systems was created. This enabled Altmann, as section director, together with all 5 chairs for the main components of electrical energy systems, to undertake extensive research projects with the industry, focusing on the focus on “preparation for a future generation of electrical energy systems”. As a member of the electrical engineering advisory board (chairman: Gerhard Linnemann , at that time rector of the TH Ilmenau ) at the Ministry of Higher Education and Technical Schools since 1980, Altmann was able to profile the scientific branch "Technology of electrical energy systems" as a teaching and research area.

With the dissolution of the sections in the course of an alignment of the East German universities after German reunification , he was elected director of the Institute for "General Electrical Engineering" at the TH Leipzig and was responsible for the training in the diploma course of the same name. In 1991 his academic degree “Doctor of Science” (Dr. sc. Techn.) Was converted into the degree “doctor habilitatus” (Dr.-Ing.habil.) By the Senate of the HfV Dresden. From spring to autumn 1992 he took over the management of the newly founded department of energy technology as acting department director.

Altmann received an appointment at the University of Technology, Economics and Culture Leipzig (HTWK) in the winter semester 1992 as professor for fundamentals of electrical engineering and theoretical electrical engineering and at the same time as spokesman for the specialist group general electrical engineering.

Under his influence, the "Industrial Engineering / Electrical Engineering" course was set up in 1995 at the Electrical Engineering Department of the HTWK Leipzig with great success. Furthermore, in cooperation with the Medical Faculty of the University of Leipzig, he introduced training in the fields of "Electromedical devices and processes" and "Medical statistics / computer science". This training was supplemented by own lectures in the field of electropathology / electrical safety. A special laboratory internship at the HTWK Leipzig in cooperation with the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Köthen was used to deepen the subject .

Through his participation in the “Industry and Technology Location” working group of the Leipzig Regional Council, Altmann contributed to the development of a founding concept for an electrical engineering science center in Leipzig. Thanks to his cooperation with the steering committee, it was achieved that in spring 1997 the research and transfer center Leipzig e. V. (FTZ) at the HTWK Leipzig. Since then, the FTZ has developed successfully and has found broad recognition among its practice partners. His election as the first Scientific Director of the FTZ was an expression of his successful efforts to establish this, in which position he worked until 2001.

Altmann was also involved in founding a sponsorship association of the HTWK since 1994 and in founding the university magazine "Podium". From 1997 to 2005 he was the first chairman of the Friends' Association of the HTWK Leipzig. Klaus-Peter Schulze was elected as his successor and handed over this office to Markus Krabbes in 2019 .

In the period from 2000 to 2011, he also held a teaching position for electrical engineering at the University of Telecommunications in Leipzig . When he reached the age limit, Altmann retired in 2001.

Altmann has given numerous lectures at scientific events, some of which he initiated and helped to organize himself. His scientific publications also reflect his teamwork and comprise more than 140 papers, several of which are in book form with repeated editions. He has prepared reports on over 50 dissertations and habilitation theses (11 of them for his own doctoral students) as well as on 5 major problem cases in industry. During his work in higher education, he supervised over 130 diploma and master's theses as a mentor until 2015.

The following professors emerged from his academic environment : D. Schlayer (Leipzig), J. and G. Otto (Dresden), T. Heimbold (Leipzig), F. Illing (Leipzig), J. Wenge (Leipzig), D. Haentzsch (Magdeburg), L. Kieltyka (Częstochowa / Poland), Brigitte Obst (Leipzig), M. Sturm (Leipzig), W. Mierke (Leipzig), I. Neumann (Leipzig), P. Baier (Leipzig), M. Reichel (Leipzig), W. Uhlmann (Leipzig), R. Grohmann (Leipzig), W. Hähle (Leipzig), D. Heinze (Leipzig), B. Oswald (Hanover), P. Kahler (Dresden), B. Hellige ( Dresden), H. Hänisch (Berlin), P. Iancu (Senftenberg), M. Amos (Dresden), K. Kabitzsch (Dresden), M. Triandafilidis (Kavalla / Greece) and Wolfgang Tiefensee (Leipzig: Lord Mayor, Honorary Professor; Berlin : Federal Minister, Member of the Bundestag; Erfurt / Thuringia: Minister of Economics).

Altmann has done pioneering work in the field of quantitative evaluation of electrical safety and reliability of electrical equipment . He has also dealt intensively with the measurement and evaluation of quality, which is known as qualimetry . However, he does not consider these subject areas to be closed. This is also supported by the fact that in 1988 the first German chair for production metrology and quality management was established at RWTH Aachen University and filled with Tilo Pfeifer , and in 2004 it was refilled with Robert Schmitt . Furthermore, there is now a Society for Quality Science (GQW) as an association of German-speaking university professors for quality management.

To avoid electrical accidents, especially in construction, Altmann at the TH and HTWK (1978–1999) worked in his research team on the development of high-voltage warning devices for mobile machines. The following scientific results should be mentioned: two dissertations and 18 diploma theses. This work was carried out in the context of application research on behalf of the industry ( TAKRAF-Kombinat Leipzig ) and the FTZ e. V. of the HTWK Leipzig.

The research work started in 1998 at the HTWK Leipzig in the field of electronic orientation aids for visually impaired people was completed in 2006 and recommended for further processing. As a member of the FTZ of the HTWK Leipzig, however, he continued the safety and accident research and from 2013 also in cooperation with the University Clinic Hamburg-Eppendorf , Clinic and Polyclinic for Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.
