Heinrich Wolfgang Ludwig Dohrn

Heinrich Wolfgang Ludwig Dohrn (16 June 1838, Braunschweig – 1 October 1913, Florence) was a German zoologist, entomologist, and malacologist.

[1] Heinrich Dohrn’s family was from Pomerania (now in Poland).

His father was the entomologist Carl August Dohrn (1806–1892), and his brother was Anton Dohrn (1840–1909), founder of the short-lived marine station at Messina and then Stazione Zoologica.

He was the founder of the museum at Stettin to hold the collections of the naturalists of the town, members of the Stettin Entomological Society, but this soon became an art museum.

He engaged in 1904, Adolf Furtwängler (1853–1907), professor of Archaeology at the University of Munich to reconstruct Greek marbles found as fragments.
