Swibert Burkhard Schiverek (also Suibert ; also Burkhart , Burchhard ; also Schivereck ; born March 1, 1742 in Brilon , Westphalia, † August 29, 1806 in Krakow ) was an Austrian botanist .

Life

Schiverek studied humanities in his hometown, physics in Fulda and then medicine in Würzburg and in Vienna, among others with Anton de Haen , Heinrich Johann Nepomuk von Crantz and Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin , where he received his doctorate in 1775. In the same year he was appointed to the newly created chair for chemistry and botany at the Medical Faculty of the University of Innsbruck , where a clinical laboratory was set up for him. He not only taught botany in the classroom, but also went on excursions into the great outdoors with his students and campaigned for the establishment of oneBotanical garden , which was only realized after his departure. He was working on a work by Flora Tyrolensi that was never completed. In 1781 he was one of the first members of the "Tyrolean Society of Arts and Sciences" founded by Alois Paul Trabucco . Schiverek was a freemason and master of the Innsbruck lodge "To the three mountains".

In 1782 the University of Innsbruck was abolished by Emperor Joseph II and Schiverek was transferred to the University of Lemberg , where in 1783 he again became the first professor of chemistry and botany. He researched the mineral springs in the Subcarpathian Mountains and founded the Botanical Garden. He put on an extensive herbarium and made numerous mycological drawings, but published little. From 1784 to 1786 he was dean of the medical faculty, 1786/1787 and 1798/1799 rector of the University of Lemberg. In 1805 he received the chair of chemistry and botany at the Medical Faculty of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, where he died in 1806.
