Abstract

Gottlieb Michael Berendt was a noted German geologist of Jewish descent, and a pioneer
in the study of younger geological formations. He is considered to be the first German geologist who
laid the foundations for and significantly advanced the study of the Quaternary Period and the geology of lowland areas. The main focus of his pioneering research, conducted during the reign of the Prussian
Empire, was on geological mapping of large areas of East and West Prussia and Pomerania. He contributed
numerous publications, most of which explored the Quaternary Period, including five monographs.
During his stay in Königsberg, Gottlieb Michael Berendt’s work spanned East and West Prussia, and
he became involved in archeological research. He participated in excavations and the search for
archeological artefacts under the auspices of the Physical-Economic Society in Königsberg. Due to his
organizational efforts as well archaeological and geological achievements, Berendt is considered to be
the founder of the Provincial Museum in Königsberg. Gottlieb Michael Berendt spent the last years of his
life in Szklarska Poręba, where he died on 27 January 1920.
