Walter Eduard Hermann Carlé (born June 23, 1912 in Stuttgart ; † September 12, 1996 in Stuttgart-Riedenberg ) was a German geologist.

life and work

Carlé first studied botany and geology in Stuttgart, from 1932 in Kiel and immediately afterwards from 1932 in Berlin under Hans Stille , with whom he received his doctorate on the Saxon tectonics of the Harz Mountains. In 1936/37 he was assistant to Roland Brinkmann at the Geological State Institute Hamburg . From 1938 to 1940 he worked for a German-Spanish mining company in Galicia and from 1940/41 he was a research assistant at the Reich Office for Soil Research. From 1946 he was in the geological department of the Württemberg statistical office. From 1970 until his retirement in 1975 he was head of the Stuttgart branch of the Geological State Office Baden-Württemberg, where he had been state geologist since 1954 (two years after its foundation) (from 1959 senior regional geologist), from 1970 in the rank of government director and from 1974 in that of a senior government director. He was also a lecturer at the Technical University of Stuttgart from 1949, lecturer from 1953 and, after his habilitation in 1955 ( construction and development of the southern German large block ), professor from 1960.

He dealt in particular with the hydrogeology of mineral water (balneology). He was involved in the creation of the hydrogeological map of the Federal Republic of Germany (scale 1: 500,000) (five sheets came from him). He also dealt with the history of geology.

He was an honorary member of the Upper Rhine Geological Association and from 1974 to 1977 chairman of the Society for Natural History in Württemberg , of which he became an honorary member in 1981. In 1983 he received the Hans Stille Medal .
