Carl Martin Dolezalek

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Martin Dolezalek , (born October 19, 1899 in Grasdorf near Hanover, † April 2, 1984 in Badenweiler ) was a German engineer for production and automation technology. As a professor at the University of Stuttgart , he founded the Institute for Industrial Production and Factory Management (IFF) in 1955 .

Life

Carl Martin Dolezalek was a grandson of the railway and tunnel civil engineer Professor Carl Anton Dolezalek . His father, Professor Carl Anton Vincens Dolezalek, was also a civil engineer. Carl Martin himself turned to mechanical engineering.

After graduating from high school, he took part in the First World War as a soldier in the last few months . He then studied mechanical engineering with a focus on factory organization and machine tool construction at the Technical University of Hanover, among others with Friedrich Schwerd (developer of the German steel helmet). Then he worked in the Hanoverian industry in the 1920s. From 1927 to 1931 he was responsible for business organization issues at Siemens & Halske in Berlin. In 1934 he moved to the Bosch company in Stuttgart. In 1938 he was given the task of setting up a branch of the Bosch Group, ELFI, later renamed Trillke-Werke , in Hildesheim . As technical plant manager, he developed the newly founded plant into an important company for the manufacture of electrotechnical products for motor vehicles, tractors and tracked vehicles. At the end of the war he was massively attacked by some representatives of the workforce because of his membership in the NSDAP (since 1940) and the title of Wehrwirtschaftsführer (1944), so that Bosch GmbH released him from his position in September 1945 and his employment contract on April 1, 1947 was dissolved by mutual agreement. Numerous good repute certificates, also from London, led to the fact that he was classified on June 15, 1949 by the main committee for denazification "as exonerated in category 5".

Family and friendly contacts in England meant that in the summer of 1948 CM Dolezalek was commissioned as technical controller with the modernization of Smith & Nephew's largest British dressing material factory in Hull / Yorkshire. In the years up to 1955, the company's efficiency increased thanks to the manufacturing and automation measures it had developed. These included large-scale renovations and new buildings, which in some ways also had a positive effect on the living situation of the employees.

As early as the 1930s, he had received calls from the Technical University of Stuttgart , TH Hannover and TH Dresden , but these were not implemented because he was not a member of the NSDAP at the time.

In 1955 he was appointed professor at the Technical University of Stuttgart and returned to Germany. In addition to his teaching activities, he founded the Institute for Industrial Production and Factory Operation (IFF) in Stuttgart and, in parallel with the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Engineering and Automation (IPA), which carried out research assignments for industrial companies under CM Dolezalek's direction. These were reflected in numerous lectures and specialist articles in the VDI magazine Werkstatttechnik from Springer-Wissenschaftsverlag u. a. scientific publishers.

In 1970 CM Dolezalek retired and was honored with his appointment as a "member for life" of the institute's board of trustees.
