Siegfried Stockmayer
Siegfried Stockmayer (8 August 1868, Vienna – 20 March 1933, Vienna) was an Austrian botanist and physician.[1] He collected plants in Austria and Italy.[2]
After graduating from Vienna's
phycologist and made contributions to the Schedae ad 'Kryptogamas exsiccatas' ... (Notes on cryptogamic exsiccatae) in the Annalen des k. k. naturhistorischen Hofmuseums (1894). Later in his career he was particularly interested in thermophilic blue-green algae, which he collected in Warmbad Villach in the summer. At his villa in Stammersdorf, he set up a research laboratory and library for specialized work on phycology. He planned a thorough study of the algae found in Lake Neusiedl. However, his algological research was limited by his work as a physician. Nevertheless, he published many outstanding scientific papers on blue-green algae and motivated the photographer Alexander Niklitschek to investigate the movement problem in the genus Oscillatoria. From 1889 Stockmayer was a member of Austria's Zoologisch-Botanische Gesellschaft (a non-profit society founded in 1851 for the promotion of knowledge about zoology and botany). He was killed in a traffic accident in 1933. His botanical collections were given to the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien.[1][3]
