Friedrich Zickerick

Friedrich Alexander Zickerick (born September 6, 1831 in Neudamm ; † February 25, 1882 in Wolfenbüttel ) was a German master coppersmith and manufacturer.

Life

Friedrich Zickerick was born in Neudamm in the Neumark in 1831 . He owned a small workshop in Dedeleben in what is now the Harz district and in 1861 he moved to Wolfenbüttel. Here he founded a modest company as a coppersmith. He tried to get a concession for the factory production of copper goods and aggregates, which he succeeded in 1863 after some difficulties. He geared his production to the needs of the flourishing sugar industry in the surrounding area. The company quickly developed into one of the most important industrial companies in Wolfenbüttel with orders from Russia and America.

Zickerick died in February 1882 at the age of 50 in Wolfenbüttel. The metal goods factory he left behind, Friedrich Zickerick , went bankrupt in 1908. The factory site, which is located directly on the Braunschweig - Wolfenbüttel railway line, has seen numerous subsequent uses , from the O. Keune canning factory , an Edeka store , the Schering factory to today's hardware store (as of 2020). In Wolfenbüttel the Zickerickstrasse was named after him.
