Life
His father was the Braunschweig machine manufacturer Albert Natalis .
From October 1885 Friedrich Natalis studied mechanical engineering at the Herzogliche Technische Hochschule Carolo-Wilhelmina in Braunschweig . After completing this degree, he worked in the railway office of Siemens & Halske in Magdeburg until 1890 and at Max Jüdel & Co. in Braunschweig from 1891 to 1897 .
In 1895 Natalis took up another degree in electrical engineering . As one of the first Braunschweig students , he received his doctorate in this subject in 1907, also with distinction.
Professionally, he followed his older brother Hugo (1860–1924) in 1897 to Nuremberg to join the Elektrizitäts-AG formerly Schuckert & Co. and, after their merger with Siemens in 1903, to Charlottenburg . In Nuremberg he invented an independent block safety system for the Wuppertal suspension railway , in Charlottenburg he was initially head of the office for power transmission equipment. From 1912 he worked as an authorized signatory and member of the board of all technical departments of Siemens-Schuckertwerke GmbH .
During the First World War , Friedrich Natalis worked in aircraft construction.
In 1928, as the successor to August Rotth (1854–1929), he took over the management of the Siemens archive in Berlin (now in Munich ), which he looked after until his death.
In December 2007 the Natalisweg in the Braunschweig district of Lindenbergsiedlung was named after him.
