Wilhelm Hermann Henneberg
Wilhelm Hermann Henneberg (born January 6, 1871 Magdeburg , † January 16, 1936 in Kiel ) was a German bacteriologist and first director of the Bacteriological Institute at the Prussian Research and Laboratory for Dairy Farming .
Life
Henneberg came from an East Westphalian , educated middle class family. His brothers became anatomists in Giessen, psychiatrists in Berlin and doctors in Magdeburg. His father Herrmann Henneberg was a doctor, his uncle Wilhelm Henneberg professor of animal nutrition.
Henneberg studied chemistry with Alfred Koch in Göttingen, among others . He received his doctorate with a bacteriological dissertation supervised by Wilhelm Zopf in 1896 on vinegar bacteria at the University of Rostock .
From 1897 he was employed in the vinegar department at the Institute for Fermentation Industry in Berlin. From 1899 to 1906 he was an assistant to Paul Lindner , after which he took over his own department for vinegar and lactic acid bacteria and their importance for sauerkraut fermentation and sour feed preparation. From 1906 he headed the bacteriological department of the technical-scientific laboratory of the institute for fermentation trade. He also researched the fermentation of tobacco and cocoa. During the First World War, Henneberg was involved in research on glycerine and acetone extraction for the production of artificial rubber and on the production of feed and nutritional yeast using the Torula utilis . The pure culture was introduced into the fermentation vinegar factories by Henneberg . He also conducted studies on vinegar eels and flies.
In 1922 he was appointed to Kiel, where he became head of the Bacteriological Institute of the Prussian Experimental and Research Institute for Dairy Farming . From 1924 he was an honorary professor at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität with a teaching position for the entire field of non-medical bacteriology. In the eleven years as a university lecturer in Kiel, he supervised more than 80 dissertations and wrote several textbooks on the bacteriology of milk. Henneberg initiated the establishment of the Association of Technical Bacteriologists .
From 1923 he was a member of the Reich Health Council . Henneberg also acted as a consultant to the Kiel Hygiene Institute. For bacteriological diagnostics, Henneberg invented new examination methods such as the China blue water agar, which was specially developed for the dairy industry, the pen stroke culture and the cover glass agar method.
In the last years of his life he devoted himself to researching the saprophyte flora of the intestine and the human intestinal flora , in particular their conversion through the consumption of milk products such as the reformed yoghurt ( acidophilis milk) that he introduced in Germany - a field of research that his son is also working on Georg Henneberg was involved. Besides this son, the Hennebergs had two other children.
Wilhelm Henneberg died of septic angina , from which his wife Charlotte had already died on January 7, 1936. She is still known today at the Kiel Institute for her watercolors of various types of cheese.
In recognition of Henneberg's achievements, his term of office as director of the institute was expressly extended beyond his 65th birthday for a year and a half until the planned World Milk Congress in 1937.
