Friedrich Böhm
Friedrich Böhm (* 15 August 1885 in Harburg (Swabia) near Donauwörth, died 25 August 1965 in Munich) was a German actuarial and insurance mathematician and university lecturer. During World War II, Böhm was conscripted into Group IV of Inspectorate 7 (german: Horchleistelle), an early cipher bureau and Signals intelligence agency of the German Army (Wehrmacht) (german: Heer), working to decode foreign Ciphers. He would later work in the successor organization: General der Nachrichtenaufklärung, in a similar role. Life Friedrich Böhm studied mathematics at the Gymnasium St. Anna in Augsburg, Munich. In 1908 he undertook his promotion to Dr Phil with a thesis titled: ''Parabolic metric in the hyperbolic space''. Lindemann, who had already given lectures on Actuarial mathematics in Munich, drew his attention to questions of mortality and disability. In 1911, he enabled Böhm's Habilitation in this discipline. Böhm became a private lecturer and, following the example o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Harburg, Bavaria
Harburg (; Swabian: ''Horburg'') is a town in the Donau-Ries district, in Swabia, Bavaria, Germany. It is situated on the river Wörnitz and on the southeastern edge of the Ries meteorite crater in the UNESCO Global Geopark Ries. The town is part of the scenic route called "Romantische Straße" ( Romantic Road) with one of the most impressive remaining medieval castles in Germany. History Etymology The name of the town is usually interpreted as deriving from the Middle High German term ''horo'', meaning "Swamp or bog". Harburg Castle would be a castle above the swamp. However, the soil conditions in Harburg speak against this thesis. In the local dialect Harburg is still referred to as ''Hore''. This could be the German word for horn, which indicates the shape of the castle hill. Harburg Castle would thus be a castle on a hill with a horn shape. Middle Ages In 1093 the name Harburg appears for the first time by Mathilde de Horeburc, the wife of Count Kuno of Lechsgün ...
