The brand image shows a portrait from the Austrian National Library of the scientist Dr. med. Erich Tschermak-Seysenegg. Tschermak saw the light of day on November 15, 1871, the son of a mineralogist in Vienna. The "born" scientist had a picture book career. He studied at the College of Agricultural Sciences and received his doctorate in 1895. As a result, Tschermak dealt primarily with field vegetable cultivation, plant breeding and heredity. In 1902 he received an assistant position with Professor Adolf Ritter von Liebenberg. While studying literature for his habilitation, he first came across Gregor Mendel's genetics and immediately proceeded to carry out his research on it. In 1906 he was then the first pulpwood for plant breeding in Europe, and in 1909 was appointed full professor. Tschermak is one of the three rediscoverers of Mendelian heredity. His fame is based on the fact that he has elevated the entire problematic matter of inheritance to an exact science. On October 11, 1962 died Tschermak, who worked despite illness until his death, in Vienna.
