The German ornithologist and botanist Leo von Boxbergerand his compatriot, the dealer in animal species (eggs and birds) Carlos Baltz Leuschner, during their stays in Malaga

View through CrossRef
In this work, we address different biographical, botanical and scientific aspects of Leo von Boxberger (1897-1950): judge, diplomat, ornithologist, botanist and expert oologist. We focus on his relations with Carlos Baltz Leuschner (1851-1918), also German, a watchmaker by pro-fession and a dealer of animal especies (eggs and birds), settled in our city, where he died in 1918, since the begining of 1888. Boxberger lived in Cameroon until february 1916, when Germany was forced to abandon this colony before the advance of the allied troops. The Spanish neutra¬lity in the Great War made possible its subsequent confinement in the Peninsula, specifically in Saragossa, where he had the opportunity to become familiar with the world of Spanish birds and plants. Once the war was over, he was repatriated to his country. At the end of 1929, he moved to Malaga with his wife and three of his four daughters. From here, he made numerous trips to enclaves in the province of Malaga and even to different locations of the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco. The result of his stay in Malaga were three ornithological articles, as well as many botanical articles and one focused on his visit to the Maghreb. He remained in Malaga until 1934, when the Civil War was threatening Spain and he left. En este trabajo abordamos distintos aspectos biográficos, botánicos y científicos de Leo von Boxberger (1879-1950): juez, diplomático, ornitólogo, botánico y experto oólogo. Incidimos en sus relaciones con el también germano Carlos Baltz Leuschner (1851-1918), relojero de profesión y marchante de especies animales (huevos y aves), asentado en nuestra ciudad desde principios de 1888 en la que fallecería en 1918. Boxberger residió en Camerún hasta febrero de 1916, fecha en que, ante el avance de las tropas aliadas, Alemania se vio forzada a abandonar esta colonia. La neutralidad española en la Gran Guerra posibilitó su posterior confinamiento en la Península, concretamente en Zaragoza, donde tuvo la oportunidad de familiarizarse con el mundo de los pájaros y las plantas españolas. Una vez finalizada la contienda fue repatriado a su país. A finales de 1929 se trasladó con su mujer y tres de sus cuatro hijas a Málaga. Desde aquí realizó numerosos desplazamientos a enclaves provinciales malacitanos e incluso a distintas lo¬calidades del Protectorado Español de Marruecos. Fruto de su estadía en Málaga fueron tres ar¬tículos ornitológicos, otros tantos botánicos y uno centrado en su visita al Magreb. Permaneció en Málaga hasta 1934, que abandonaría cuando en España se acercaba amenazante la guerra civil.
