Hans Weber (entrepreneur, 1912)

Hans Weber (born May 17, 1912 in Kaiserslautern , † December 4, 2000 in Cologne ) was a German engineer and entrepreneur in industrial pipeline construction .

Life

After graduating from high school in Merseburg , Hans Weber began studying mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Berlin-Charlottenburg in the summer semester of 1931 and became a member of the Corps Saxonia-Berlin in the same semester. After completing his studies with a degree in engineering, he returned to Merseburg and in 1937 took over responsibility for the Weber Rohrleitungsbau company founded by his father Karl Weber in 1922 .

After the end of the war he tried to get the company going again by manufacturing pots and other metal dishes. He was able to escape arrest and possible deportation by the Russian occupation forces by fleeing to the West and in 1948 established what is now Weber Rohrleitungsbau in Cologne, a company specializing in industrial pipeline construction. In 1972 he passed responsibility for the company to his son Dierk Weber.

In 1991 he was able to re-establish Weber Rohrleitungsbau GmbH Merseburg , 69 years after his father's company was founded in the same location, 43 years after he fled from there to Cologne.
