August Heinrich Petermann
Augustus Heinrich Petermann (18 April 182225 September 1878) was a German cartographer. Early years Petermann was born in Bleicherode, Germany. When he was 14 years old, he started grammar school in the nearby town of Nordhausen. Despite family pressures to become a clergyman, he pursued his passion for cartography instead.

During its existence, Berghaus's academy offered only three courses, and only a few students attended: * 1839–1844: August Petermann, Heinrich 'Henry' Lange (1821–1893), and Otto Göcke, who died one year later of tuberculosis. * 1844–1847: Amandus Sturmhöfel (1823–?) and Theodor Schilling. * 1845–1850: Hermann Berghaus (1828–1890), his nephew.
