Carl Deilmann (industrialist, 1894)
Carl Deilmann junior (born April 22, 1894 - † January 12, 1985 ) was a German industrialist.
Life
Deilmann came from an old Westphalian miner's family. His father Carl Deilmann (1866–1936) founded the Carl Deilmann Bergbau- und Tiefbau company in Dortmund in 1888 , which developed into a major specialist provider in the mining sector. Carl Deilmann took part in the First World War as a cavalryman and aviator in Jagdstaffel 2 (Jasta 2) and Jagdgeschwader 1 under Manfred von Richthofen and then studied mining and political science, first in Tübingen and then in Berlin . In Tübingen he was a member of the Corps Rhenania . After passing the assessor exam (1922), he joined his father's company as managing director, where he took over sole responsibility after his father's death in 1936. He made a name for himself internationally as a recognized expert in the field of freezing shaft construction and modern expansion methods. Under his direction, numerous shafts and mining facilities were built in the Ruhr area, the Netherlands, the Urals, Venezuela, Sicily and France. Deilmann also contributed to the oil drilling in the Emsland and to the discovery and expansion of the natural gas storage facilities there. In 1946 he moved the main administration of the drilling operations from Dortmund to Bentheim , where there was already a provisional administration of Deutag Aschersleben, which belonged to the group and whose headquarters had been lost due to the consequences of the war.
His son Hans Carl Deilmann (1923–2011) was later a board member and partner of C. Deilmann AG.
