Life

Wilhelm Bölsche attended grammar school in Braunschweig and then studied from 1861 at the forerunner of the Technical University of Braunschweig, which was renamed from Collegium Carolinum to "Polytechnic School" at the beginning of the winter semester 1862/63 . In 1863 he switched to studying natural sciences at the Georg-August University in Göttingen , where he heard Karl von Seebach and Friedrich Wöhler , was assistant to Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen from 1864 to 1867 and in February 1867 with his palaeontological dissertation on the Corals of the north German Jura and Chalk Mountains to the Dr. phil. received his doctorate .

In May 1868 Wilhelm Bölsche took the examination for the higher education authority before the ducal examination commission in Braunschweig and acquired the license to teach mathematics and physics for the upper grammar school levels. Wilhelm Bölsche initially taught at various schools and institutions in Braunschweig before he worked from Easter 1872 until the end of his life as a teacher of natural sciences and mathematics at the secondary school of the first order and later secondary school and state secondary school for boys in Osnabrück.

Wilhelm Bölsche, who was later awarded the title of professor in Osnabrück, was involved in the natural science association Osnabrück, in which he contributed numerous scientific publications to the annual reports and, from 1878, as second secretary and from 1887 as second chairman.

The main focus of his scientific activity was on researching the geology and paleontology of the area around Osnabrück as well as working on fossil corals and echinoderms .

He is the first to describe the echinoderm Antedon duebenii Bölsche , 1866 and the hard coral Astrangia cretacea ( Bölsche , 1870).
