Gabriel Strobl was an Austrian priest and entomologist who specialised in Diptera. In 1866 the then 20-year-old Gabriel Strobl became a Roman Catholic priest monk (Pater) at the Benedictine monastery Admont Abbey (Stift Admont). A devastating Monastery fire in 1865 had destroyed the Natural History Cabinet (a museum) and its contents which had included Joseph Stammel’s Universe. He was entrusted by Abbot Karlmann Hieber (served 1861-1868) with rebuilding the Natural History Museum.

  • Gabriel Strobl was an Austrian priest and entomologist who specialised in Diptera. In 1866 the then 20-year-old Gabriel Strobl became a Roman Catholic priest monk (Pater) at the Benedictine monastery Admont Abbey (Stift Admont). A devastating Monastery fire in 1865 had destroyed the Natural History Cabinet (a museum) and its contents which had included Joseph Stammel’s Universe. He was entrusted by Abbot Karlmann Hieber (served 1861-1868) with rebuilding the Natural History Museum. In 44 years of work - until his stroke in 1910 - Gabriel Strobl built up the Museum anew. In his first 12 years of work he devoted himself principally to botany, before dedicating himself completely to entomology for the following 32 years. Although his published work is mainly on Diptera he also worked on Hymenoptera and Coleoptera of the Balkan peninsula which was partially ruled by Austria until 1918.
  • Gabriel Strobl war Priester und Entomologe. 1866, im Alter von 20 Jahren, wurde Gabriel Strobl Pater am Benediktinerkloster Stift Admont. Einem verheerenden Brand fiel 1865 das Naturalienkabinett des Klosters zum Opfer, zu dessen Inhalt Joseph Stammels Universum gehört hatte. Der Abt Karlmann Hieber (Amtszeit 1861–1868) betraute ihn mit dem Wiederaufbau des naturhistorischen Museums. In 44 Arbeitsjahren – bis zu einem Schlaganfall im Jahre 1910 – legte Gabriel Strobl eine neue Sammlung an. Die ersten 12 Jahre seiner Arbeit widmete er hauptsächlich der Botanik, bevor er sich 32 Jahre lang völlig der Entomologie widmete. Auch wenn seine veröffentlichten Arbeiten hauptsächlich die Zweiflügler (Dipteren, also Fliegen und Mücken) behandeln, arbeitete er doch auch über Hautflügler und Käfer der (bis 1918 teilweise zu Österreich-Ungarn gehörenden) Balkanhalbinsel.
