Gustav Clodius

Gustav Karl Heinrich Wilhelm Clodius (26 August 1866 – 5 November 1944) was a German pastor, antiquarian, and naturalist who contributed to studies on the birds of West Pomerania.

Along with Carl Wüstnei he published a book on the birds of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg which includes historical information on the nesting of white storks in the region.

Clodius was born in Camin near Wittenburg, son of Lutheran pastor Gustav (the elder, 1824–1904) and Maria Caroline Luise née Flörke (1828–1922).

He then entered the Gymnasium Fridericianum in Schwerin and graduated in 1886 to join the University of Rostock to study theology.

He collaborated with Carl Wüstnei, a railway engineer to work on a reliable ornithology of the Mecklenburg region which was finally published in 1900.
