Gustav Heinrich Ludwig Hermann Trautschold (Russian: Ге́рман Адо́льфович Траутшо́льд, tr. Gérman Adólʹfovich Trautshólʹd; 17 September 1817 – October 22, 1902) was a German-Russian geologist and paleontologist and also pharmacist.^[1] From 1869 to 1888 he was a professor at the Petrovsky Agricultural and Forestry Academy. Trautschold was known as a specialist in the paleontology and stratigraphy of Carboniferous, Jurassic and Cretaceous deposits of the European part of Russia. He was brother of painter Wilhelm Trautschold.

Life

Hermann Gustav Heinrich Ludwig Trautschold was born on September 17, 1817, in Berlin,^[1] in the family of the Berlin merchant Adolph Christoph Ludwig Trautschold and Maria Charlotte Wilhelmine Trautschold (née Müller).^[1] He graduated from primary school in Spandau and a grammar school in Berlin.^[1] In 1844, Trautschold made a trip to Spain, during which he studied botanical research, and then moved to the University of Giessen, where he studied chemistry, mineralogy and crystallography in depth; He showed special interest in geology and paleontology. During his studies in Giessen, Trautschold worked for about one and a half years as an assistant in the laboratory of Justus von Liebig 1844–1845.^[1] In 1847, after completing his studies, he obtained a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Giessen.

Career

In 1847–1849 Trautschold traveled to Italy, Germany and Russia, where he was engaged in geological research. During his stay in Russia, he settled for a time as a home teacher in the family of the landowner of Kostroma Province, Fyodor N. Luginin, who lived in Moscow at that time, whom he had met in Germany (one of Trautschold's students, Vladimir Luginin, later became a major physicist, professor at Moscow University);^[1] In Russia, Hermann Trautschold was known as Gérman Adólʹfovich. In 1848 Hermann Trautschold returned to Germany, where in 1849–1857 he was dean of private educational institution in Prussia.^[1]

In 1863 he was invited to teach German at the Physics and Mathematics and Medical Faculties of Moscow University. In the course of classes with students and work on translation of natural scientific works, Trautschold mastered the Russian language perfectly; But to do his favorite thing – geological research – he still could only in his spare time from the main job.

During his work at the Petrovsky Academy, Trautschold devoted much time to researching the deposits of the Carboniferous and Jurassic periods of the Moscow province, and also repeatedly undertook long-term trips with the purpose of geological survey of the Volga, Ural, Donbas, Crimea and Northern Caucasus regions. Pedagogical work of Trautschold was not limited only to conducting classes and lecturing; He arranged geological excursions for students, took care of replenishing the mineralogical collection of the Petrovsky Academy (which he was in charge of). Some of his geological collections went to Strasbourg and Lisbon, but are no longer preserved. In Russia, much of its collection is in the State Vernadsky Museum of Geology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow. He was a follower of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and supported it with paleontological finds and his teaching.^[2] In Russia he also promoted the Darwinist and paleontologist Vladimir Kovalevsky.^[1] He contributed to the recognition of Alexander von Humboldt in Russia.^[1]

Faced with the lack of educational manuals on geology in Russian, he created a textbook "Fundamentals of Geology" in three volumes: "Geography and Geomorphy", "Paleontology" and "Stratigraphy".

From 1872 to 1886 he was secretary of the Imperial Society of Natural Scientists in Moscow. In 1884 he became a member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.^[1] In 1892, he distributed a series which resembles an exsiccata for educational purposes, namely Eine Sammlung getrockneter Pflanzen aus Abbazia.^[3] 1894 Honorary member of the Silesian Society for Patriotic Culture and he was a member of the German Geological Society^[4] and honorary member of the Belgian Geological Society.

Death

Trautschold died in Karlsruhe on October 22, 1902.^[1]
