Heinrich Wachner - an Almost Forgotten Geographer of the First Half of the 20th Century

Summary/Abstract: H. Wachner was an important geographer and naturalist. He published both in Romania and abroad (in Germany, Austria and Hungary). For this reason, many of his works are now missing from the Romanian libraries. His most important contributions were in the field of regional geography and geomorphology. The studies regarding the depressions of the Giurgeu, Ciuc and Braşov, as well as the syntheses concerning Romania, published in German language publications, are of outmost importance. Wachner, who was a teacher of geography in several regular and high schools in Bistriţa, Sighişoara and Braşov, also edited 12 geographical and geological handbooks for pupils and published many popularizing papers, in order to educate people to protect the environment.
