Stephan Ludwig Jacobi
Stephan Ludwig Jacobi (* 1711 in Hohenhausen ; † 1784 ibid) is considered to be the inventor of artificial fertilization in fish farming .
Life
Stephan Ludwig Jacobi was born in the street "An Jacobis Hofe" near Hohenhauser Strasse; the house where he was born still stands today. He attended high school in Lemgo and Detmold . In 1734 he began studying mathematics and natural sciences at the University of Marburg. He developed the fountain in Bad Meinberg on behalf of the royal court in Detmold. This laid the basis for the operation of the baths in the city. In Schötmar , he planned and directed the regulation of the Bega and Werre rivers in order to prevent the frequent floods. The Lippe Prince Simon August awarded him the title of "Princely Lippian Governor". However, this title was not associated with adequate remuneration.
In the first half of the 18th century, Stephan Ludwig Jacobi carried out the artificial fertilization of fish for the first time. To do this, he took eggs and seeds from fish that were ready for spawning, fertilized the eggs artificially and made them develop. In 1776 he published his knowledge in the article “About the artificial production of trout and salmon” in the “ Lippe Intelligence sheets”.
In memory of him, the secondary school in the municipality of Kalletal has been named "Stephan-Ludwig-Jacobi-Realschule" and the community bus has been named "Jacobi-Linie" since 2011. The Stephan-Ludwig-Jacobi monument from 1896 is in Hohenhausen on Lemgoer Strasse (today Bundesstrasse 238). The Forest and Forest Museum in Kalletal- Heidelbeck has a permanent exhibition about Jacobi and artificial fish farming.
