Life

Büttner started out with a retail business for small electronic parts and bicycles. In 1923 he then founded two companies in Lauf an der Pegnitz : Bayerische Elektro Zubehör AG (today: ABL Sursum Bayerische Elektrozubehör GmbH & Co. KG ), which also employed his later son-in-law Harald Arthur Poensgen , and together with Georg Stettner the Stettner Steatitwerk & Co. The latter was one of several on site who used the steatite deposits in the area to manufacture insulating ceramics for the electrical industry.

In 1925 he invented the Schuko plug, which was patented in 1930 as a "plug with earthing device" .

In 2015, Ottensooser Weg in Lauf, where the company is based, was renamed Albert-Büttner-Straße in honor of the inventor and company founder.
