Reference excerpt

Benjamin Sigmund Oehrl (born 21 November 1979) is a German archaeologist and philologist who specializes in Germanic studies.

Biography Sigmund Oehrl was born in Kassel, Germany on 21 November 1979. He studied prehistory, protohistory, and German and Nordic philology at the University of Göttingen, gaining his master's degree with distinction in 2004. Oehrl subsequently worked as a research assistant at the Seminar for Prehistory and Protohistory at the University of Göttingen, and was in 2006 awarded a doctoral scholarship by the Gerda Henkel Stiftung. He received his Ph.D. summa cum laude from the University of Göttingen in 2008 with a thesis on runestones in Sweden. From 2009 to 2014, Oehrl was a lecturer at the University of Göttingen and a researcher on runic at the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. He transferred to LMU Munich in 2014, where he gained his habilitation on Old Norse philology and prehistoric archaeology in 2016. He has subsequently been a researcher and lecturer at LMU Munich and Stockholm University. Oehrl researches a variety of subjects related to Germanic Antiquity, including Germanic religion, Germanic art, runology and petroglyphs. He is particularly known for his research on the picture stones of Gotland. He is a co-editor of Germanische Altertumskunde Online.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Sigmund Oehrl

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Sigmund Oehrl claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, 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 Sigmund Oehrl 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 Sigmund Oehrl 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 Sigmund Oehrl

In research: Sigmund Oehrl appears in astronomy 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 Sigmund Oehrl 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: Sigmund Oehrl is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1979 births, Academic staff of LMU Munich, Academic staff of the University of Göttingen, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Sigmund Oehrl 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.
