Excerpt: August Heinrich Petermann (April 18, 1822 ¿ September 25, 1878) was a German cartographer. "No issue without a map" He was born on April 18, 1822 in Bleicherode, near Nordhausen. When he was 14 years old he started grammar school in close-by Nordhausen.

Berghaus must have recognized the quality of his work, and therewith his potential and soon took him in as a foster-son. As he had already a large family to feed, however, he requested an annual subsidy of 60 thaler from the king to support Petermann, which request was granted.

Petermann started in Potsdam at 7 August 1839. The education with Berghaus could be called scientifically cartographic, comprising mathematical geography (map projection and grids), physical geography (meterology, hydrology and geology) and political geography (knowledge of borders and administrative division of European states especially).
