After achieving his baccalaureate in June 1870 in his hometown, he matriculated at the University of Leipzig in Natural Sciences on October 17th, 1870 and received his doctorate in 1874 with a petrographic work on felsites and pitchstones (Fig. 3).

Kalkowsky’s doctoral thesis “Mikroskopische Untersuchungen von Felsiten und Pechsteinen Sachsens” [= “Microscopic investigations on felsites and pitchstones from Saxony”] in 1874. His habilitation thesis on the gneissic formation of the Silesian Eulengebirge (now Góry Sowie, south-western Poland), the oldest part of the Central European mountain range of the Sudetes, was published in 1878 (Fig. 4). After an employment as assistant professor under F.

In April 1898 he additionally assumed the direction of the “State Museum of Mineralogy and Geology”, including the department of prehistory in Dresden, which was still occupied by Geinitz until then. For the next 25 years, Kalkowsky enriched and advanced the research at his faculty and the exhibition of the museum in an extraordinary way. In 1907 he was promoted to privy counsellor (“Geheimer Hofrat”). Kalkowsky retired and received emeritus status October 1 st, 1919 1. Kalkowsky died on February 13 th, 1938 in Dresden.
