In particular, the manufacturer Fritz Kalle from Wiesbaden , the teacher Franz Leibing from Elberfeld and Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch , member of the Progressive Party , played a major role in the founding . Leibing published the magazine Der Bildungsverein . When he died in 1875, there were 545 corporations and 4,118 natural members.
