Friedrich Wilhelm Lüdersdorff

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Wilhelm Lüdersdorff (also Lüdersdorf ; born April 29, 1801 in Bärwalde ; † August 26, 1886 in Baden-Baden ) was a German chemist, politician and landowner. Its official botanical author's abbreviation is “ Luedersd. "

Friedrich Lüdersdorff studied philosophy and received his doctorate as Dr. phil. From 1827 to 1835 he worked on the scientific section of the Haude and Spenerschen newspaper . He published various papers in the fields of biology and technical chemistry. Among other things, he invented the Lüdersdorff steam lamp .

Around 1832 he researched rubber (also spring resin ) in Berlin . Around the same time as the American Hayward, he first observed that sulfur made the rubber dissolved in turpentine less sticky, and thus laid the foundation for Goodyear's later invention of vulcanization (1839).

Lüdersdorff was State Economics Council in Berlin and Secretary General of the State Economics College, later a secret government councilor . In the years 1859 and 1860 he was a member of the Prussian House of Representatives for the constituency of Potsdam 7 .

In 1858 Lüdersdorff took over the Weissensee manor from his uncle Johann Heinrich Leberecht Pistorius . In 1859 he had the manor house, which became known as Schloss Weißensee , built and the associated park at the Weißensee lake . In January 1872 the Hamburg merchant and land speculator Gustav Adolf Schön bought the manor for 700,000 thalers.

In 1882 Lüdersdorff was raised to the Prussian nobility.

A section of Parkstrasse in Berlin-Weißensee bore his name as Lüdersdorffstrasse in the period before 1890 .
