Günter Zumpe was a civil engineer and professor of mechanics and surface structures at TU Dresden. His institutional obituary records his long association with that university.[ref]
His historical article on Mohr's circle connects Christian Otto Mohr's work to the graphical representation of stress. The construction turns components of a two-dimensional stress tensor into a circle whose intercepts give the principal stresses. Zumpe's account places this useful engineering calculation in the history of mechanics, including Mohr's 1882 article.[ref]
