Carl Friedrich Berg
Carl Friedrich Berg (born February 25, 1774 in Herrenberg , † May 21, 1835 in Stuttgart ) was a German pharmacist . From 1788 to 1792 he was an apprentice in the pharmacy of Christian Gottlieb Gmelin in Herrenberg .
Life
He was then a year in Schwäbisch Hall and four years in Ludwigsburg journeyman. He passed his pharmacist examination in 1798 in Tübingen . In 1798 he bought the pharmacy in Leonberg and in 1819 was appointed city schoolboy. As early as 1820 he resigned his office in order to devote more time to his professional business. In 1821 he bought the Bindersche Apotheke and was its owner until his death.
In Leonberg, Carl Friedrich Berg dealt with the cultivation of medicinal plants . This activity was not yet widespread in Württemberg. Together with the pharmacists Binder and Rühle, he founded the Württemberg Pharmacy Association. This emerged from a pharmaceutical reading society he headed and founded in Stuttgart in 1815.
In 1829 he founded a vinegar factory near Stuttgart, which worked according to a method he had improved. He tried to spread potato polenta, campaigned for the establishment of public ovens in the community and set up a beet sugar factory with his son .
