He was educated at Dresden, Tharandt, Freiberg and Heidelberg. From 1842 till 1874 he held the professorship of geology at the Bergakademie Freiberg ("mining academy"). Botany at first attracted him, and he was one of the earliest to use the microscope in determining the structure of fossil plants. Later on he gave his attention to practical geology, to the study of ore-deposits, of rocks and metamorphism. He was regarded as an excellent teacher. His classification and description of rocks (a Treatise on Lithology which was translated by P.H. Lawrence in 1866) was the first comprehensive work on the subject issued in the English language, and it gave great impetus to the study of rocks in Britain. Bernhard von Cotta died at Freiberg on the 14th of September 1879.

Dear participants, we are very delighted to welcome you at the Geological Institute of the Freiberg University. The intension of this scientific meeting is to follow the thread of our international workshops on the Rotliegend in 1997 and on the Upper Carboniferous and early Triassic in 2002. So, we are looking forward to new ideas and interesting discussions during the three next days. This time, there is a very fortunate combination of an international workshop in honour of the 25th obit of Bernhard von Cotta: “Environmental reconstruction and stratigraphy in the Palaeozoic”, and the IGCP 469 Central European Meeting on: “Late Westphalian terrestrial biotas and palaeoenvironments of the Variscan foreland and adjacent intramontane basins”. The broad range of scientific topics in the numerous oral and poster presentations is fully in the sense of Cotta, who has done his phd on silicified woods from the Rotliegend, who has further worked on field mapping projects in Saxony and Thuringia, who has documented many drillings and who has evaluated the coal deposits in Saxony as a competent expert. Furthermore, Cotta was interested in palaeobotany, in the distribution of species through time and in the reconstruction of the global climate history. This broad range is the idea of our meeting, too: from local observation to regional conclusions and global processes. So, we wish interesting sessions, a successful excursion and a very pleasant stay at the Geological Institute of the world’s oldest montanous university Bergakademie and at our nice mediaeval silver-mining
