Wilhelm Knechtel ((スペイン語:Guillermo Knechtel); August 13, 1837, Pihl–October 22, 1924, Bucharest) was an ethnic German Austrian-Romanian gardener and botanist. ==Biography== Born in Bohemia in a village now belonging to Nový Bor, Knechtel worked in Prague, then entered into the service of Archduke Maximilian in 1860 at Miramare Castle in Trieste, Italy. When the Archduke was crowned emperor of Mexico, Wilhelm accompanied him and designed various gardens in Mexico City, including the roof garden in Chapultepec Castle. After Maximilian's incarceration in June 1867, he briefly served in Lacroma (a small island in the Adriatic Sea), before going into the service of ''Domnitor'', later King Carol I of Romania, as Director of Gardens and Professor of Botany at the Bucharest School of Agriculture. He was knighted ''Cavaler al Ordinului Coroanei României'' (Knight of the Order of the Romanian Crown) by Carol I of Romania on January 17, 1883. Besides his botanical work, Knechtel also served as a professor of German, Czech, Latin, Italian, Spanish and Romanian. After his death, Wilhelm Knechtel was buried in the Lutheran Cemetery in Bucharest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wilhelm Knechtel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
