Foreword: * July 30, 1861 in Düsseldorf † June 12, 1935 Oswald Flamm studied shipbuilding and ship mechanical engineering at the Technical University in Charlottenburg, graduating with a diploma in both disciplines in 1888. He then went on to pursue various shipyard activities in order to deepen his knowledge in the fields he had learnt. At the age of 31 he was appointed as a lecturer for shipbuilding at the Technical University, and 2 years later he was appointed professor. His achievements include in particular his research activities on the action of propellers, stabilisation measures for ships and also submarines. At a very early stage he had recognised the importance of shipbuilding experimentation and had advocated the construction of a shipbuilding research institute in Berlin. In 1902, largely as a result of his efforts, the Versuchsanstalt für Wasserbau und Schiffbau (VWS), now a central facility of the Technical University of Berlin, was built on the Schleuseninsel in Tiergarten.
