Wilhelm Haarländer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm August Haarländer (born October 20, 1893 in Munich , † February 5, 1976 in Erlangen ) was a German teacher and geologist .

Haarländer was the son of a chief engine driver, went to school in Pfarrkirchen and Simbach and began teacher training in Nördlingen and Altdorf. He studied mathematics, physics and chemistry for teaching at the University of Munich and the Technical University of Munich and in 1924 passed the state examination for higher teaching. Afterwards he was a teacher in Rothenburg od Tauber, Bayreuth, Wassertrüdingen Coburg and in 1926 became a teacher at the teacher training college in Erlangen. In 1940 he became a professor and studied geology in Erlangen from 1939 to 1941. In 1941 he received his doctorate in geology in Erlangen (geological investigation of the area between Hersbruck and Hohenstein). In 1955 he became senior teacher and in 1959 he retired. In 1967 he was appointed director of studies out of service.

He mapped for the Bavarian State Geological Office Höchstädt an der Aisch, Adelsdorf, Hersbruck, Herzogenaurach, Schlüsselfeld, Erlangen-Süd and Röttenbach (each 1: 25,000). He also worked on the building site for the Nürnberg-Nord motorway to Geiselwind.

He succeeded in a stratigraphic subdivision in the fossil-poor castle sandstone of the Keuper .

As a historian, he dealt with early geological collections in Nuremberg and iron ore deposits in northeast Bavaria (Moritzberg near Nuremberg, southern Fichtel Mountains). In paleontology he published a mathematical description of ammonite shells and their spirals.
