Leopold Pfaundler

Leopold Pfaundler of Hadermur ( born February 14, 1839 in Innsbruck, † May 6, 1920 in Graz) was an Austrian physicist and alpinist.

Science

Pfaundler, son of a lawyer, studied in Innsbruck, Munich and Paris, chemistry, physics and mathematics. He received his Ph.D. on July 27, 1861, and was on March 23, 1866 Associate Professor of Physical Chemistry. On August 29, 1867 he became a full professor of physics in Innsbruck. In 1887 he also became a full member of the Vienna Academy of Sciences. In 1891 he was appointed as a professor of physics at the University of Graz. Pfaundler succeeded in 1870 for the first time, to produce a continuous electrical current by means of an electric motor. In 1888 he constructed a projector for Lissajous figures.

Alpinism

From 1859 onwards began Pfaundler as a student with the mountaineering and the measurement of the Tyrolean mountains. With his companion Robert von Hörmann, Josef von Trentinaglia and Hugo von Enzenberg he devoted himself to the regions of the Karwendel Mountains still poorly described, particularly the Gleirsch Halltal chain. In the course of this work, which surveyed and mapped Pfaundler described during Hörmann, Trentinaglia and Enzenberg geology, flora and fauna, the first ascent of several peaks, so the High Gleirsch, the Jägerkarspitzen and Gleirschtaler Brandjochs. 1861 Pfaundler turned to the measurement of the Ötztal and Stubai Alps. Again he mounted it, this time with Ludwig von Barth and the mountain guide Alois Tanzer, some of the peaks for the first time, about the Eastern Seespitze, the Aperen Freiger and Pfaff cutting (all 1863). 1869 was Pfaundler co-signers of the call for establishment of the German Alpine Club and was active in the Bureau of the Section Innsbruck.

Pfaundler was one of the founders of the Innsbruck Gymnastics Club and the Corps Rhaetia. From 1909 until shortly before his death he published the German Gozeitung and was also the author of a go - book.

On August 10, 1910 Pfaundler was raised to the peerage and received the nickname " of Hadermur ".
