Biography
Franz Kögler studied at a secondary school (Realschule) and in the three upper grades of a real gymnasium in Chemnitz , which he graduated in 1900. Subsequently, he studied civil engineering at the Dresden Technical University , where he received a Ph.D. In November 1905, Kögler became a government developer (Regierungsbauführer) and was appointed to Dresden: he participated in the reconstruction of the Niedersedlitz and Reick railway stations, as well as in the construction of roads and bridges. In 1910 he became a state architect (Regierungsbaumeister): from 1909 to 1912 he was engaged in the design of railways, bridges and power lines over the Elbe . After that, he was director of construction in Dresden, and in 1914 became technical director at the Association of German Railways.
From 1905 to 1912, Kögler was also an assistant professor Max Förster (Max Förster, 1867-1930) at the Dresden University of Technology. In 1911 he became a privat-docent and defended his doctoral dissertation; he lectured until 1914, after which he became a privat-docent at the Berlin Technical University . Since October 1918, Kögler was a professor of civil engineering and mechanical engineering at the Mining Academy in Freiberg: in 1924 he created a laboratory of soil mechanics, which soon became known in Germany. In 1938, together with his colleague Alfred Scheidig, Kögler published the textbook Baugrund und Bauwerk, which withstood five editions by 1948. From 1928 to 1930, he was the rector of the academy, and in the 1930s, he developed the first sensor for measuring earth pressure. On November 11, 1933, Franz Kögler was among the more than 900 scholars and teachers of German universities and universities who signed the " Statement of professors on the support of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist State ." On January 18, 1939, Kögler committed suicide in connection with the state of health and the political situation in the Third Reich.
