from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alwin Parnicke (born December 14, 1853 in Halle an der Saale , † January 13, 1928 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German engineer . He was the author of the standard work on chemical engineering for chemists, the mechanical tools of the chemical industry .

Life

Grown up in Halle an der Saale, Alwin Parnicke studied engineering at the industrial academy in Charlottenburg and in the summer semester of 1874 joined the Saxon Association, later the Corps Saxonia-Berlin. After completing his studies, he switched to the chemical industry and became chief engineer at the Griesheim chemical factory. From the mid-1890s he settled as a civil engineer in Frankfurt am Main.

In 1894 he wrote the work Die mechanical auxiliaries in chemical engineering with a foreword by Karl Haeussermann , then professor of chemistry at the Technical University of Stuttgart . The book closed the gap between the scientific training of chemists at universities and the requirements of industrial practice and became the standard work of process engineering for chemists for more than three decades. The book was published in a 2nd edition in 1898, a 3rd edition in 1905 and a 4th edition in 1922, each revised and expanded. It was also spread and recognized outside of the German-speaking countries

1896 Alwin Parnicke became the President of the Provisional Monument Commission for the construction of a monument on the castle Windeck for the French German War fallen WSC elected -Angehörigen. Due to the prohibition of the Baron von Berckheim, this monument could not be realized, which led to the construction of the Wachenburg from 1906 .
