摘要:Heinrich Wachner – a Remarkable Geographer of the First Half of the 20th Century. Heinrich Wachner (1877-1960) was an important geographer and naturalist (geologist,botanist). Unjustly,he is almost forgotten nowadays. He published both in Romania and abroad (in Germany,Austria,Hungary),and,for this reason,many of his works are missing from the libraries. His most important contributions were in the field of geomorphology and regional geography. The studies regarding the depressions of 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,also edited geography handbooks for pupils,and published many popularizing papers,in order to educate people to protect the environment.
