Friedrich Steinbacher

Friedrich Christian Steinbacher (4 July 1877 – 15 February 1938) was a German mathematician, high-school teacher, natural scientist and ornithologist.

He qualified the teacher's exam and began to teach mathematics, physics and biology at high schools.

After 1920 he began to take a keen interest in ornithology and joined the German Ornithologists’ Society (Deutsche Ornithologische Gesellschaft).

Ernst Hartert hired Steinbacher for collaboration on the Palearctic birds and found him particularly useful in dealing with the Russian ornithological literature.

[3][4] His nephew Joachim Steinbacher, influenced by field trips with his cousin Georg and uncle Friedrich,[5] also became an ornithologist.
