Lebrecht Henneberg worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Lebrecht Henneberg as German mathematician (1850–1933).
Lebrecht Henneberg was born at Wolfenbüttel in 1850. His recorded nationality is Germany. He studied at Heidelberg University.
The nineteenth century made mathematics rigorous: definitions were tightened, foundations questioned, and whole fields created from scratch.
His academic posts were held at Technical University of Darmstadt.
The recorded fields of work are mathematics.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
That the work was done from Germany matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Lebrecht Henneberg died in 1933, aged 83. The proofs remain, and a proof does not decay - which is the particular permanence mathematics offers.
