Carl Heinrich Florenz Müller
Carl Heinrich Florenz Müller (born January 29, 1845 in Piesau ; † November 24, 1912 in Hamburg ), known as "Röntgenmüller", was a German entrepreneur.
Life
In 1862, the trained glassblower acquired a piece of land between Alexanderstraße and Steindamm in what was then Hamburg's Hammerbrook district, now St. Georg , where he manufactured decorative glasses and, from 1880, started producing mainly incandescent lamps and vacuum tubes (gas discharge tubes). From 1896 the "CHF Müller Röntgenwerk" dealt with X-ray technology and specialized as a "Special-Factory for X-ray tubes" in the manufacture of X-ray tubes, and from 1924 under the brand name Valvo , also in the production of radio tubes . In the 1920s, they moved into a new factory building in Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel . The plant has belonged to Philips since 1927 and to Philips Medizin Systeme since 1987 .
CHF Müller was buried in the Ohlsdorf cemetery (grid square V 30 at Kapellenstrasse near the roundabout).
