Kurt Jaroschek originated from Breslau, then a German city in today's Poland. He graduated from Breslau University in 1922 as a mechanical engineer and stayed for the following three years with Maschinenfabrik Thyssen in Mühlheim at Ruhr River. From 1925 to 1929 he collaborated with Technischer Überwachungs-Verein TÜV in Aachen and then took over as director the TÜV branch in Hannover until 1951. Jaroschek has submitted a PhD thesis in 1929 to the Technical University of Hannover. He was appointed in 1952 professor of heat engineering at Darmstadt Technical University, from where he retired in 1964.

\

Jaroschek is known for the development of the high-pressure turbine as used in industry and which he developed in collaboration with Prof. Röder in Hannover. In hydraulics his care was known relating to the exact determination of discharge with orifice experiments, in which the effects of viscosity and surface tension were particularly investigated. He has also contributed to questions of heat transfer and to the use of nuclear power in Germany. Jaroschek was for a long time a Member of the Verein Deutscher Ingenieure VDI and chaired its sections for heat transfer and process engineering. He was also a Member of the Scientific Council of VDI. Jaroschek was awarded the Ehrenmünze in Gold for his significant work towards VDI in 1968, in particular his founding initiative for the VDI section energy techniques.
