About the Book

English summary: Karl Kreil (1798-1862), astronomer, meteorologist, and geomagneticist, was a scientist in Austria whose work deserves particular attention. He was the founder of the K. K. Central-Anstalt fur Meteorologie und Erdmagnetismus in Vienna, which still exists today, though the name has been modified slightly to Zentralanstalt fur Meteorologie und Geodynamik (ZAMG). Born in Ried in Upper Austria, Kreil received his first relevant scientific education in the convent of Kremsmunster. During the years 1819 to 1821 he studied law and sciences at the University of Vienna; in 1827 he became the assistant at the observatory in Vienna, where Joseph Johann Littrow was the head. In 1831 he obtained a position at the Brera Observatory in Milan, followed seven years later by one at the observatory in Prague, and in 1851 in Vienna at the Central-Anstalt, which he himself had founded. Worldwide research in geomagnetism was originally supported especially in Great Britain and in Russia. In Austria it was Karl Kreil who initiated the first systematic geomagnetic observations; these began in Milan in 1835, and in Prague in 1838. The observatories of these two cities became members of the Gottinger Magnetischer Verein, which had been founded by Carl Friedrich Gauss and Wilhelm Weber in 1834. From 1852 Kreil continued his geomagnetic observations in Vienna. The focus of the present monograph is on Karl Kreil as geophysicist and his research on geomagnetism. The correspondence exchanged between Gauss in Gottingen and Kreil plays a major role. It allows a detailed insight into Kreil's geomagnetic observations and research, as well as into the relationship between the two scientists. 31 letters and 24 protocols of observations written between the years 1835 and 1843 have been preserved. The authors of the book present an edition of this material as well as of other unpublished documents in a broad context of history of science. German description: Karl Kreil (1798-1862), Astronom, Meteorologe und Geomagnetiker, galt und gilt noch heute in Osterreich als ein Wissenschaftler, dessen Schaffen ganz besondere Beachtung verdient: Er war der Grunder der K. K. Central-Anstalt fur Meteorologie und Erdmagnetismus in Wien, die noch heute unter dem leicht geanderten Namen Zentralanstalt fur Meteorologie und Geodynamik (ZAMG) existiert. In Ried in Oberosterreich geboren, erfuhr Kreil zunachst im Stift in Kremsmunster eine umfassende naturwissenschaftliche Ausbildung. Nachdem er 1819 bis 1821 an der Universitat Wien Jurisprudenz und Naturwissenschaften studiert hatte, wurde er 1827 Assistent an der Wiener Sternwarte bei Joseph Johann Littrow. Im Jahre 1831 wechselte er an die Brera-Sternwarte in Mailand, sieben Jahre spater an die Sternwarte in Prag und 1851 an die von ihm gegrundete Central-Anstalt in Wien. Die erdumspannende Erforschung des Erdmagnetismus wurde anfangs vor allem in Grossbritannien und in Russland gefordert. Mit Kreils Tatigkeit begannen auch in Osterreich systematische erdmagnetische Beobachtungen, und zwar bereits 1835 in Mailand sowie ab 1838 zusatzlich auch in Prag. Die Sternwarten in diesen Stadten wurden Mitglieder des Gottinger Magnetischen Vereins, den Carl Friedrich Gauss und Wilhelm Weber 1834 ins Leben gerufen hatten. Ab 1852 wurden die erdmagnetischen Beobachtungen von Kreil in Wien fortgesetzt. Im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Monographie steht Karl Kreil als Geomagnetiker. Der zwischen Carl Friedrich Gauss in Gottingen und Kreil gefuhrte Briefwechsel, dem zweifellos eine herausragende wissenschaftshistorische Bedeutung zukommt, ermoglicht einen detaillierten Einblick in Kreils erdmagnetische Beobachtungen und Forschungen sowie in die Beziehungen zwischen den beiden Briefpartnern. Erhalten geblieben sind 31 Briefe und 24 Beobachtungsprotokolle aus der Zeit von 1835 bis 1843. Die Autorinnen legen eine Edition dieser und weiterer unveroffentlichter Materialien vor und betten diese in einen breiten wissenschaftshistorischen Kontext ein.
