Alwin Rudel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alwin Rudel (full name Carl Adolf Alwin Rudel ; and Karl Adolph Alwin Rudel ; * around 1817; † March 3, 1887 in Dresden ) was a German paper specialist and writer, publisher , technician and journalist .

Life

In the first decades of the beginning industrialization, Alwin Rudel founded the magazine Centralblatt for the German paper industry, first published in 1850 . Rudel not only appeared as a publisher, he was also the only editor of the paper, through whose dissemination in the German-speaking area he earned merit in improving the industrial mass production of paper, but above all by promoting wood grinding .

On October 14, 1861, Rudel and the wealthy Karl Louis Kaufmann bought the property with the burnt down paper mill in Königstein in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxony from Karl Ludwig Jaenicke . After the rapid construction of new buildings, they set up a paper factory there with the first paper machine installed in the Bielatal : The Königstein paper mill , also known as the Hütten paper mill due to its location in the Hütten district , was solely owned by Rudel from 1865 before he sold it in 1871. The paper mill, which was later expanded by Hugo von Hoesch , still exists today (as of 2019).

Rudel was editor of the yearbook of paper manufacture , for about 1874/75. Rudel's yearbook appeared in several editions.

The German National Library lists a good dozen individual articles that Rudel published in specialist journals.

In his life, Rudel played a leading role in the papermaking world. The gap created by his death could only be filled later by the paper expert Carl Hofmann .
