Heinrich Wilhelm Calberla
Heinrich Conrad Wilhelm Calberla (born June 29, 1774 in Walle , † August 22, 1836 in Dresden ) was a German businessman.
Live and act
Calberla was the son of Waller Stiftsvogts Ernst Wilhelm Calberla and a woman named Marie Dorothea. The maternal grandfather was the Waller schoolmaster Andreas Lütge.
As a turner, Calberla received Dresden citizenship in 1800. In 1817 he created the first such company in Saxony with the later Calberlaschen sugar boiler . For the simpler and cheaper transport of cane sugar, he established a steamboat service that connected Dresden with Hamburg via the Elbe . In the winter of 1834/35 a steamship started in Hamburg for the first time headed for Dresden. During the trip, which was carried out in stages, the boat had loaded 1,000 quintals of raw sugar. Calberla was thus able to prove that steamships could navigate the Upper Elbe. Based on this, Ewald Bellingrath later founded the chain towing business on the Upper Elbe .
Calberla owned ships with over 25 horsepower , which were the most powerful engines used in factories. In 1822 he co-founded the Elb-Westindische See-Handlungs-Compagnie , which had set itself the goal of trading overseas from Saxony.
Carlberla married Marie Dorothea Schönherr (1783–1805) from Dresden in 1802. One year after the death of his first wife, he married Friederike Amalie (1783–1820), whose father Johann Friedrich Schüßler was a soap and wax manufacturer in Dresden. Both marriages had a son. The second son Gustav Moritz Calberla (born November 30, 1809 in Dresden; † December 3, 1906 there) took over the sugar factory.
