from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Pilgram (* 1934 in Cologne ) is a German author. He has published lyric works and non-fiction books.

Life

Pilgram attended elementary school in Cologne-Flittard and the humanistic, old-language grammar school in Cologne-Mülheim until he graduated from high school in 1956. He studied human medicine in Cologne and Münster from 1956 to 1961, received his doctorate in 1962 and worked as an assistant and senior physician at the Porz hospital . From 1970 to 1999 he was a resident gynecologist. He acquired the fields of interest geology and palaeontology autodidactically . He is also active as a poet and painter.

After discussions with Alexander Tollmann and “private research”, Pilgram takes the view that the consequences of a (hypothetical) asteroid impact (“deluge comet”) ten thousand years ago are visible in the Eifel and in the High Fens . In Pilgram's view, this event explains the biblical and extra-biblical accounts of the Flood .
