Carl Friedrich Roewer


Carl Friedrich Roewer was a German arachnologist. He concentrated on harvestmen, where he described almost a third of today's known species, but also almost 700 taxa of spiders and numerous Solifugae.
From 1933 on, he was the second director of the Übersee-Museum in Bremen, Germany.
The Senckenbergische Naturforschende Gesellschaft bought his extensive collection and his private library. Some of his specimens are also in the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin.
