Emil Ziehl
Emil Ziehl (* 1873 ; † June 1, 1939 ) was a German engineer and entrepreneur. He is the founder of the Ziehl-Abegg company .
Career
Emil Ziehl grew up with five other siblings in his father's blacksmith and wagon smithy in Brandenburg , and was supposed to do an apprenticeship in the family business. Because of his talent for drawing, his class teacher convinced his father that he should attend Rackow's drawing school in Brandenburg. Then he attended the technical college.
On the recommendation of his professor, he started as a designer at AEG . In the development of electric motors, he did pioneering work in the measurement and testing of generators. In 1897 he switched to Berliner Maschinenbau AG , for which he developed the first electrically operated gyro with cardanic suspension and thus also the first external rotor motor . The German patent was granted to him in 1904, a US patent on November 27, 1900.
In 1909 Ziehl acquired the Rolandwerke in Berlin-Weißensee.
With the Swedish financier Eduard Abegg he founded the company Ziehl-Abegg on January 2 or June 1910 . Ziehl had high hopes for Abegg, who was to develop wind power plants for the company. After her company logo was already in circulation, it turned out that Abegg could not raise the promised funds and the wind motor patent that was brought in was unsuitable. Abegg left that same year.
family
Emil Ziehl had three daughters and two sons. The older son, Günther Ziehl , was born on September 5, 1913, the younger, Heinz, in 1917. Günther Ziehl began studying at the Technical University of Berlin in 1935 and later continued his father's company.
Honors
The community of Schöntal honored the work of Emil Ziehl in 2015 with the street name Emil-Ziehl-Straße. The street is in the Bieringen suburb, where a Ziehl-Abegg production plant is located. The new street sign was presented to Emil Ziehl's grandson, Uwe Ziehl, by Mayor Patrizia Filz on the occasion of the celebrations for 50 years of Ziehl-Abegg production at the Schöntal-Bieringen site.
