Life and career[edit]

Steiner was born in Strasbourg, Alsace in March 1908. He earned his doctorate in 1931 at the University of Heidelberg. He completed his habilitation in 1942 at the Technical University Darmstadt and 1947 at the University of Heidelberg, where he was appointed as professor in 1949. In 1962, he was an associate professor at the Technical University of Karlsruhe, becoming full professor in 1966 and occupying the chair of zoology from 1962 to 1973.[1][2][3][4] He died five months after his 101st birthday on August 14, 2009 in Heidelberg.[5]

Steiner is best known for a 1961 book authored pseudonymously as Harald Stümpke on the anatomy and habits of the rhinogradentia, a fictitious order of extinct mammals whose nose evolved in unusual ways.[6]

He has published also under the pseudonyms of Justus Andereich,[6] Trotzhard Wiederumb,[6] and Karl D.S. Geeste.[7]

He also provided six illustrations for the following musical work:
