Heinrich Klebahn

Heinrich Klebahn (20 February 1859, Bremen – 5 October 1942, Hamburg) was a German mycologist and phytopathologist.

From 1921 to 1934 he was an honorary professor and lecturer of cryptogamy and soil biology at the Institut für Allgemeine Botanik in Hamburg.

Then in 1906 he was commemorated with the mycological genus Klebahnia by Joseph Charles Arthur,[1] which is a synonym of Uromyces (Link) Unger, 1833.

[3] In 1939, W.Kirschstein published Klebahnopycnis a genus of fungi, this is now classified as a synonym of Hoehneliella Bresadola & Saccardo, 1902.

[4] Lastly, in 2011, Inderbitzin and co-authors named the plant pathogenic fungus Verticillium klebahnii after him.
