Dr. Grigore Antipa și arhiepiscop Raymund Netzhammer
Scientist Grigore Antipa and Archbishop Raymund Netzhammer

Summary/Abstract: Scientist Grigore Antipa is – together with Emil Racovitza and Ioan Borcea – the co founder of Romanian Marine Sciences, more precisely of biological oceanography in Romania. His professional, scientific and organisational activity gave him a special appreciation and some of the most important official dignities. All culminated in his election as a full member of the Romanian Academy. At the same time, he maintained close relations with the members of the Royal House of Romania and with leading intellectuals, including foreign citizens, especially Germans. Among the latter was the Roman Catholic German Swiss Archbishop of Bucharest, Raymund Netzhammer, founder of the Church of St. Basil the Great. His diary records his vision of the political, military and religious events in Bucharest during the years in which he exercised his priestly mandate; it also reflects the contact he had with Grigore Antipa during that time.
