Arnold Halbach
Arnold Halbach (born July 3, 1787 in Müngsten near Remscheid, † May 16, 1860 in Baden-Baden ) was the Prussian consul in Philadelphia .
He was the son of Johann Arnold Halbach and, on behalf of his family, founded a hammer mill in America in 1810 to supply steel for the production of shotgun barrels there. The company "Johann and Caspar Halbach and Sons" had to close the plant in 1828.
Until 1838 he was still in the business as consul. From 1840 he lived with his wife Johanna Karoline Mathilde Bohlen (1800–1882) in Baden-Baden. Together they are the first parents of the von Bohlen and Halbach family . The daughter Mathilde Halbach , a great-great-grandmother of the Dutch Queen Beatrix , died at the age of 24. The son Gustav von Bohlen and Halbach later also entered diplomatic services.
