Theodor Gerding

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theodor Friedrich Ernst Gerding (born November 15, 1820 in Winsen (Aller) , † after 1874) was a German scientist and teacher.

Life

A close relative had emigrated to Argentina. Theodor Gerding was a student of Friedrich Wöhler and Johann Benedict Listing in Göttingen .

In 1848 he was a pharmacist in Körner (Thuringia) . He became a teacher of natural sciences in Jena and Altena in Westphalia. From 1858 he was director and lecturer for natural sciences and technology at the technical center he founded in Göttingen (founded April 30, 1860), which aimed to train technicians for chemical factories.

He investigated the cinema tannin and presented physodine . He wrote school books, popular science writings and some chemical-technical works. He was in contact with Friedrich Carl Adolf Stohmann and from 1854–1867 with Liebig.

There has been no trace of him since 1874. Since the old church registers and files were burned in Winsen, the date of his death could not yet be determined.
