Life

Ewald Busse was born as the son of master nail smith Heinrich Busse in Tanne. Here he attended elementary school and was confirmed in 1857 .

Busse completed an apprenticeship as a locksmith in Nordhausen from 1859 to 1862 . He then worked briefly as a locksmith at a metal goods factory in Braunschweig . In 1865 he returned to Tanne and got a job at the Tanner ironworks . The steelworks inspector of the ducal machine factory in Zorge recruited buses to work in this factory. In Zorge, Ewald Busse took on the construction of steam locomotives . In 1867, in just five weeks, Busse built a steam locomotive with a standing boiler. In 1873 this locomotive received a gold medal at the world exhibition in Vienna . More than 40 of this model had been produced by 1876 and sold to private railway companies throughout Germany.

In 1881 Busse finally founded his own machine factory, which later became the iron foundry and machine factory Ewald Busse GmbH . In the factory, steam engines of all kinds were initially repaired and steam boilers manufactured. From 1910, the company also produced equipment for agriculture and special parts for mechanical engineering.

In July 1921, Busse handed the company over to his son Richard Busse. The company continued to exist under various successors until 1991.

Ewald Busse died in Zorge at the age of 93.
