Karl Wien
Karl ("Carlo") Wien (10 September 1906 – ''c.'' 14 June 1937) was a German mountaineer.
Born in Würzburg, Wien was the son of university professor Wilhelm Wien, and became a lecturer himself in the geography department of Munich University. His mountaineering career began in the Alps, where with Willi Welzenbach he made the first ascent of the north face of the Grossglockner. Outside Europe he made a number of visits to Africa and the Himalaya, including Paul Bauer's 1931 attempt on Kangchenjunga, and a 1936 expedition to Sikkim during which he made the first ascent of Siniolchu.〔
In 1937 Karl Wien was chosen to lead a German expedition to Nanga Parbat, the first since ten climbers had died on the mountain in 1934. Some time between the 14th and 16 June, Wien was camped with fifteen other climbers at Camp IV, below Rakhiot Peak, when it was overwhelmed by a massive avalanche. All sixteen men were killed in what remains the worst single disaster ever to occur on an eight thousand metre peak.〔Reprinted 1987 by Diadem Books, ISBN 978-0-906371-91-6〕
He is memorialized in Munich's Waldfriedhof. (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=wien&GSmid=47782179&GRid=140121273&)
