Theodor Hoebel

Theodor Hoebel (1890)

Theodor Hoebel (born February 16, 1832 in Dransfeld , † July 12, 1908 in Georgenthal ) was a German hydraulic engineer. He is considered to be the builder of the Bremerhaven fishing port.

Life

Hoebel studied civil engineering and hydraulic engineering at the Technical University of Hanover . From 1865 he was employed by the hydraulic engineering inspection in Geestemünde . As the successor to August Dinklage , he was in charge of it from 1875 to 1899. He was responsible for the construction of the wood and petroleum harbor. With the hydraulic engineering inspector Joseph he developed the plans for the improvement of the Geeste . They consisted in the straightening of the Geeste lowlands and the construction of the lock at Schiffdorf . Hoebel's main work was the fishing port (Bremerhaven) , which he had designed with the hydraulic engineering inspector Graevell and the government master builder Schubert. The 1200 m long harbor basin and the combined auction and packing hall I were opened on November 1, 1896. This enabled Geestemünde to expand its leading position as Germany's most important deep-sea fishing port and marketing point for sea fish. The main access road into the fishing port area has been named Hoebel since 1900.
