from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theodor Müller (born March 17, 1930 in Banjarmasin , Borneo ( Indonesia )) is a German botanist , plant sociologist and university professor.

Youth and Studies

After the death of his father, Müller came to Korntal , where he attended school from 1936. In 1938 the family moved to Pforzheim . From 1940 he was a high school student there and from 1944 to 1945 he was drafted into an armaments company.

After a short stay in Blaubeuren , Müller moved to Stuttgart and attended the Protestant theological seminar in Maulbronn from 1945 to 1947 , where he passed his Abitur in 1949.

Müller studied biology at the University of Tübingen with a major in botany , as well as chemistry and physics. Konrad Buchwald was one of his academic teachers at the University of Tübingen , under whose guidance Müller carried out plant-sociological grassland mapping in the Argen and Danube valleys during the semester break .

In 1954, Müller completed his studies with a scientific examination as a high school teacher and received his doctorate a year later with Konrad Buchwald with a dissertation on the subject of " Experiments on the wind protection effect of hedges on the Swabian Alb ".

Professional career

After a short freelance activity as a vegetation mapper in the Illerauen , Müller was employed as a scientific employee at the State Office for Nature Conservation and Landscape Management Baden-Württemberg in Ludwigsburg . There he was soon given the editing of the " Publications of the State Agency for Nature Conservation and Landscape Management Baden-Württemberg ". The first volume he published was the commemorative publication in honor of Hans Schwenkel , a landscape protector and representative of volkish nature conservation ideology.

Essential scientific and practical achievements during the time in Ludwigsburg were the creation of the " List of protected plant species of Baden-Württemberg " (1963), " Plant sociological studies in the landscape protection area Spitzberg near Tübingen " (1962 to 1963) or the creation of the " map of potential natural ones Vegetation Baden-Württemberg "(1974; together with Erich Oberdorfer and Georg Philippi ).

From 1978 onwards, Theo Müller and Erich Oberdorfer published the " Plant-sociological excursion flora ". His participation in the " South German Plant Societies " (1977 to 1992) published by Erich Oberdorfer was also essential .

In 1975, Müller was appointed professor for ecological site studies and landscape planning at the Nürtingen University of Applied Sciences , where he was temporarily head of the department and vice-rector. In 1993, Müller retired.
