Karl Suessenguth

Karl Suessenguth is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Karl Suessenguth rather than just read about it. In short: Karl Suessenguth (22 June 1893 in Münnerstadt – 7 April 1955 in Ischia) was a German botanist. He studied under Karl Ritter von Goebel at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, where in 1927 he became a professor of botany.

Key takeaways

Karl Suessenguth belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Karl Suessenguth to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Karl Suessenguth from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Karl Suessenguth (22 June 1893 in Münnerstadt – 7 April 1955 in Ischia) was a German botanist. He studied under Karl Ritter von Goebel at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, where in 1927 he became a professor of botany. From 1927 to 1955 he was curator of the Botanische Staatssammlung München. The standard author abbreviation Suess. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name. As a taxonomist, he classified many plants within the family Amaranthaceae. The botanical genera Suessenguthia (family Acanthaceae) and Suessenguthiella (family Molluginaceae) commemorate his name.

Written works He was an editor of the multi-volume Illustrierte Flora von Mittel-Europa (Illustrated Flora of Central Europe) and the author of the following works:

"Amarantaceae of southeastern Polynesia" (in English) Honolulu, Hawaii, The Museum, 1936. Neue Ziele der Botanik, 1938 – New objectives of botany. Ueber einige amerikanische "Amarantaceae" und "Rhamnaceae", 1939 – On American Amarantaceae und Rhamnaceae. Mitteilungen Der Botanischen Staatssammlung München (as editor) – Journal of the Botanische Staatssammlung München.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Karl Suessenguth

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Karl Suessenguth claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Karl Suessenguth before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Karl Suessenguth ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Karl Suessenguth

In research: Karl Suessenguth appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Karl Suessenguth in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Karl Suessenguth is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1893 births, 1955 deaths, 20th-century German botanists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Karl Suessenguth outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
