Peter Friedrich Ludwig Tischbein (6 December 1813, Eutin – 5 October 1883, Eutin) was a German forester, paleontologist and entomologist. His father was the painter Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein.
Eutin is the district capital of Eastern Holstein county located in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein. As of 2015, the town had some 17,000 inhabitants.
A forester is a person who practices forestry, the science, art, and profession of managing forests. Foresters engage in a broad range of activities including ecological restoration and management of protected areas. Foresters manage forests to provide a variety of objectives including direct extraction of raw material, outdoor recreation, conservation, hunting and aesthetics. Emerging management practices include managing forestlands for biodiversity, carbon sequestration and air quality.
Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein, known as the Goethe Tischbein, was a German painter from the Tischbein family of artists.
Prior to 1841, he worked as a supervisor in the Lensahn forestry district of Holstein. In 1843 he was named head of the Oberstein forestry department headquartered in Herrstein. In 1852 he attained the title of Oberförster, and in 1873 became a senior official of forested areas in the Principality of Birkenfeld. Two years later, he was named chief forester for the Principality of Lübeck. [1]
Lensahn is an Amt in the district of Ostholstein, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The seat of the Amt is in Lensahn.
Holstein is the region between the rivers Elbe and Eider. It is the southern half of Schleswig-Holstein, the northernmost state of Germany.
Herrstein is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Birkenfeld district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is the seat of the like-named Verbandsgemeinde
As a paleontologist, he collected fossils found in the Hunsrück slate of western Germany, including the brittle star species Euzonosoma tischbeinianum of the extinct family Encrinasteridae. [1] [2] In the field of entomology, he described four new species of sawfly —Tenthredo hungarica, Cephus pulcher, Macrophya ratzeburgii and Tenthredo albopunctata. [3]
The Hunsrück Slate is a Lower Devonian lithostratigraphic unit, a type of rock strata, in the German regions of the Hunsrück and Taunus. It is a lagerstätte famous for exceptional preservation of a highly diverse fossil fauna assemblage.
Brittle stars or ophiuroids are echinoderms in the class Ophiuroidea closely related to starfish. They crawl across the sea floor using their flexible arms for locomotion. The ophiuroids generally have five long, slender, whip-like arms which may reach up to 60 cm (24 in) in length on the largest specimens. They are also known as serpent stars; the New Latin class name Ophiuroidea is derived from the Ancient Greek ὄφις, meaning "serpent".
Sawflies are the insects of the suborder Symphyta within the order Hymenoptera alongside ants, bees and wasps. The common name comes from the saw-like appearance of the ovipositor, which the females use to cut into the plants where they lay their eggs. The name is associated especially with the Tenthredinoidea, by far the largest superfamily, with about 7,000 known species; in the entire suborder, there are 8,000 described species in more than 800 genera. The suborder Symphyta is paraphyletic, consisting of several basal groups within the order Hymenoptera. Symphyta includes woodwasps and all the species within Hymenoptera that are not wasps or the descendants of wasps.
