  • August Heinrich Sieberg (born 23 December 1875 in Aachen; died 18 November 1945 in Jena) was a German geophysicist. He researched mainly in the field of seismology and developed a seismic intensity scales as well as a tsunami intensity scale. Sieberg studied natural sciences at TH Aachen and the universities Straßburg, Freiburg and Jena; he also studied architecture. Since 1895 he was assistant at the Meteorological Observatory Aachen, between 1904 and 1914 at the Imperial Main Station for Earthquake Research (today Ecole et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre) in Strasbourg, founded in 1899. From 1910 he was a part-time employee of the Strasbourg central office of the International Seismological Association (ISA), today's International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth’s Interior. After the First World War Strasbourg became French and Sieberg moved in 1919 together with the director of the Strasbourg main station, , to the newly established Reichszentrale für Erdbebenforschung in Jena, the predecessor of today's Geodynamics Observatory Moxa. Under Hecker as the director, Siebert was a department head for macroseismics, and a government councillor. Sieberg received his doctorate from Jena University in 1921 and his habilitation in geophysics in 1922. In this year he was involved in the foundation of the German Seismological Society. In 1924 he became an extraordinary professor. After Hecker's retirement in 1932, Sieberg became provisional director of the Reichszentrale für Erdbebenforschung, in June 1936 he became its director. At his suggestion and according to his plans the Reich Ministry of Science established the German Reich Earthquake Service. In 1925 Siebert was awarded the Golden Ring of Honour for his work in building up the German Museum in Munich, and from 1934 he was a member of its Board of Directors.In 1933 August Sieberg was elected a member of the Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. In 1937 he became an honorary doctor at the University of Athens. In 1939 he joined the Bulgarian Seismological Service in Sofia as an external member. (en)
