obituary

Emil Jacobsen (born July 8, 1836 in Danzig , † February 11, 1911 in Berlin ) was a German chemist and writer .

Life

After completing an apprenticeship as a pharmacist, Jacobsen began studying pharmacy and chemistry in Breslau in 1858 , which he continued in Berlin from 1862-64 and completed his doctorate. In Breslau he had been a member of the Germania fraternity since 1862 and founded the academic-pharmaceutical association, from which the country team Vandalia Breslau emerged . The Berlin RSC Corps Cheruscia rezipierte him in 1863 as honorary AH . In 1868 he was one of the founding members of the German Chemical Society in Berlin.

The Landsmannschaft Vandalia also included Ernst Schering , who later acquired the Green Pharmacy in Berlin-Wedding and founded the chemical factory in the north of Berlin. Jacobsen was a member of the scientific advisory board and member of the supervisory board of what would later become Schering AG until his death in 1911. He ran his own chemical laboratory in Berlin, where he worked as an inventor and, with his colleagues, manufactured chemical products for the trade.

He was commercially successful with inventions such as the aniline dye quinoline yellow and a sulfonated gas oil with the trade name "Thiol", a remedy for rheumatism. He did not invent the pea sausage , as was often claimed (with the variant: the skin of the pea sausage), but developed the adhesive with which the pea sausage casing was glued together and the label was attached to the pea sausage skin. There are two specialist articles penned by Julius Stinde on this . These and other patented products made Jacobsen financially independent.

Jacobsen was editor of the two most important chemical journals of the time, the chemical-technical repertory and the industrial papers . The repertory appeared for forty years, reported on all chemical innovations and was also devoted to the detection of drug fraud and food adulteration. Jacobsen had a variety of hobbies, including poetry and rhyming. He was realist enough to know the limits of his poetic talent. When he bought his first plot of land in Tegel in the early 1980s, he built a garden shed there , which he - ironically - named Reimsalon . He called the villa built there later the rhyme smithy . Even during his studies in Breslau, Jacobsen practiced rhyming on a larger scale and, out of a desire to make verses, forged the dry chemical subject matter into easily comprehensible verses . His reactionary in the vest pocket (1862) found a successor in Friedrich Daniel von Recklinghausen , who versed the student subject matter of pathology in his work The Prosector in the vest pocket (1894).

Jacobsen was friends with many writers, such as Julius Stinde , Heinrich Seidel , Johannes Trojan , Ludwig Pietsch , Julius Stettenheim , Richard Schmidt-Cabanis and others. He took a lively interest in the developments in literature and founded the Allgemeine Deutsche Reimverein , in which the strangest things were done under the mask of seriousness, but in which Karl Bleibtreu's so-called revolution in literature and other exalted contemporary phenomena were targeted in particular . Under the pseudonym Hunold Müller von der Havel Jacobsen published the writings of the Reimverein, the Aeolian harp calendar and two volumes of the Aeolian harp almanac .

He belonged to the Mennonite religious community , but was also interested in occultism and spiritualism and had been a member of the Philosophical Society in Berlin since 1899. He bequeathed his extensive collection of proverbs to the Berlin City Library during his lifetime. The collection, including the catalog, was outsourced during the Second World War and can no longer be found today.

The villa, which Jacobsen had built in 1900 in Tegeler Gabrielenstrasse according to plans by the architect Bruno Schmitz , was demolished in 1975. He died in Berlin in 1911 at the age of 75. His grave is in St.-Johanni-Kirchhof II on Seestrasse in Berlin-Wedding . The cemetery administration has assured that the grave will be preserved, although no one is currently responsible for the care of the grave and although it is not a "Berlin honorary grave".

Heinrich Seidel named Jacobsen as an eccentric and Tegel arbor colonist under the name of Dr. Havelmüller described in his stories about Leberecht chicken . A more nuanced characterization Jacobsen delivers his former assistant Wilhelm Momber in the Communications of the Association for the History of Berlin . Heinrich Seidel's son, Heinrich Wolfgang Seidel , also gives a detailed description of Jacobsen's personality.

The Havelmüller primary school in Berlin-Tegel (Reinickendorf district), Jacobsenweg in Berlin-Wittenau and Emil-Jacobsen-Straße in Marne are named after him .
