Theodor Poleck (ca. 1880)

Thomas August Theodor Poleck (November 10, 1821 – June 1, 1906) was a German chemist and pharmacist born in Neisse.

He studied at Giessen in the laboratory of Justus von Liebig, and in 1846 travelled to Berlin, where he passed the state examination.[1] Afterwards he worked in his father's pharmacy, and for several years (1853–1867), taught classes at a Realschule in Neisse. In 1867 he succeeded Adolph Ferdinand Duflos as director of the pharmaceutical institute at the University of Breslau.[1] In 1887/88 he was dean of his faculty and in 1888/89 served as rector of the university.

His research dealt with toxicology issues, food chemistry, the study of drinking water and investigations associated with dry rot. He was a good friend of renowned chemist Moritz Traube, who sometimes worked in Poleck's laboratory.
