Heinrich Gätke

19. März oder 19.Mai 1814 in Pritzwalk

+1. Januar 1897 auf Helgoland

war ein deutscher Ornithologe und Maler, Regierungs-Sekretär des Britischen Gouverneurs.

Sohn eines Bäckers und Brauers wurde zur kaufmännischen Ausbildung nach Berlin geschickt, änderte dort aber seine Berufspläne und wurde Kunstmaler.

1837 reiste er zum ersten Mal nach Helgoland; die Insel blieb ab 1841 sein ständiger Wohnsitz.

Er freundete sich mit Ferdinand Julius Hindemann (Unehelicher Sohn Goethes) an, dieser brachte Gätke mit einer Nasenflöte die Nachahmung der Mövenrufe bei.

26.8.1841 dichtete August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben das Lied der Deutschen Ab 1843 galt sein Interesse vorrangig der Vogelkunde; etwa zehn Jahre später begann der Autodidakt, der bis dahin eine umfangreiche Vogelbalgsammlung zusammengetragen und Kontakte mit zahlreichen deutschen und englischen Ornithologen gepflegt hatte, wissenschaftliche Arbeiten zu publizieren. 1891 erschien sein Werk 'Die Vogelwarte Helgoland'. Im gleichen Jahr erwarb die preußische Regierung seine Sammlung für das Nordsee-Museum der Biologischen Anstalt Helgoland. Der größte Teil dieser Sammlung fiel 1944 den Bomben des 2. Weltkriegs zum Opfer, die erhaltenen Stücke sind im Wattenmeerhaus des Instituts für Vogelforschung in Wilhelmshaven zu besichtigen.

Theodor Fontane, der seinen Verwandten Heinrich Gätke in seiner Jugend zuletzt gesehen hatte, bezeichnete Gätke 1891 in einem Brief, der ein Wiedersehen nach über sechzig Jahren in Aussicht stellte, als Inselkönig.

Die Museumsstiftung Post und Telekommunikation bewahrt Briefmarkenentwürfe Gätkes, die dieser um 1874/1875 für die Reichsdruckerei in Berlin herstellte und mit Angaben zum Druck versah, auf.
