Friedrich Heeren (born August 11, 1803 in Hamburg , † May 2, 1885 in Hanover ) was a German chemist .
Life
Friedrich Heeren was a son of the businessman Christoph Friedrich Heeren (born January 2, 1770 in Arbergen, † July 7, 1843 in Hamburg) and grandson of the Protestant clergyman Heinrich Erhard Heeren (1728-1811).
After attending the Johanneum and the Academic Gymnasium in Hamburg, Heeren began studying chemistry at the University of Göttingen , which he completed in 1825 with a doctorate. In 1827 he founded a candle factory in Hamburg with his brother. In 1831 he became a teacher at the Polytechnic School in Hanover. There he taught theoretical, practical and technical chemistry as well as physics and mineralogy. Part-time he worked from 1832 to 1848 at the surgical school, from 1834 to 1840 at the military academy and from 1848 to 1866 at the cadet institute as a teacher. In 1843/44 the first edition of the technical dictionary appeared , which he wrote together with Karl Karmarsch . In 1846 he became an honorary citizen of Hanover, together with Karl Karmarsch, Heinrich Kirchweger and Moritz Rühlmann . From the same year there is a letter from the management of the trade association for the Kingdom of Hanover , which announces a six-week posting of the Heeren employee to England “to achieve commercial purposes”.
In 1855 Heeren was appointed professor and in 1876 a secret councilor. In 1884 he retired. He died on May 2, 1885 at the age of 81. He was a member of the Corps Saxonia Hannover .
