Gustav Jung

Gustav Jung (born January 8, 1859 at Amalienhütte ; † June 12, 1929 in Neuhütte , Dillkreis ) was a German ironworker. It is of historical importance for the development of the iron and steel industry and mining in Hessen-Nassau .

Life

Gustav Jung was born as the son of Gustav August Jung (1824–1904). He attended the high school in Dillenburg and the trade school in Kassel up to the final exam . He gained practical experience at the Henschel & Sohn locomotive company and in the Upper Silesian industrial area . In 1879/80 he served as a one-year volunteer with the Westphalian Uhlan Regiment No. 5 in Düsseldorf, graduating as reserve officer candidate. He then studied metallurgy at the Bergakademie Berlin from 1880 to 1883 , where he joined the Mining and Metallurgy Association on May 25, 1882 . After graduating, he joined his father in the management of his family business in 1883 , the Hessen-Nassau Hüttenverein , which was founded in the same year when the previous family business was renamed. At the same time he came to the Neuhütte near Straß-Ebersbach , which he had just acquired , of which he became director and where he spent his later life. He made study trips to the industrialized countries of Europe and the United States . At the age of 71 he died in the Giessen University Hospital, leaving behind his wife, five daughters and two sons. Gustav Jung and his father Gustav August Jung and their wives have found their final resting place in Ewersbach , in eternal graves that can be visited.

Act

His grandfather Johann Jakob Jung (1779–1847) was the founder of the JJ Jung company based in Steinbrücken (Dietzhölztal) in 1816 , which was renamed in 1883 to Hessen-Nassauischer Hüttenverein Aktiengesellschaft, from 1892 as a limited liability company. Johann Jakob Jung and his children were the shareholders, later also his grandchildren. The Hessen-Nassau Hüttenverein was merged in Buderus in Wetzlar in 1935 . It has existed for 119 years. Gustav Jung was co-partner and head of the Hessen-Nassau Hüttenverein. From Neuhütte he expanded all of the works of the Hüttenverein, especially the foundry . After all charcoal stoves were shut down , he led the construction of the blast furnace plant in Oberscheld , which went into operation in 1904. He ensured a considerable increase in the mine holdings . The construction of a power plant on Neuhütte enabled the mechanization and electrification of the mining operations. He was particularly concerned about the design and expansion of the blast furnace in Oberscheld. This was evident in the extensive utilization of the slag (metallurgy) and in the affiliation of a power plant for the iron and steel works in the Dill district , in the Biedenkopf district and in the Wittgenstein district . The furnace gas , which was converted into electrical energy for all steelworks , was also used extensively . Gustav Jung contributed to increasing the prosperity of his closer home. In the German Iron and Steel Institute were Emil Schrödter and Wilhelm Beumer close friends. It was particularly thanks to Jung that the association's stove plate collection came about. He took an active part in the geological exploration of the Siegerland, for example in the excavations for the Rittershausen ring wall . For many years he sat on the district committee of the Dill district. At the funeral , the district administrator of the Dillkreis Otto Bünger paid tribute to him :

“Seldom has a man enjoyed such general esteem as the deceased. Equipped with great spiritual gifts, paired with strong willpower and high goals in life, he knew how to advise everyone and always knew what was good for the general public, not only in economic, but also in cultural and social terms. His greatness is glorified in the fact that those who came to him laden with sorrow and sorrow went away comforted from him. It is my high and sacred duty to take this opportunity to express my thanks for what he has done to his homeland and the people. His work could not rest because it was carried by the idea that it should serve the general public and the homeland, that it should serve the entire German people and fatherland. His proud heart and spirit have gone to rest, but his works will bear witness to his work and striving for all the future. "
