Helmut Kilpper
Helmut Kilpper (* 1919 ; † 1996 ) was a German manager in the sugar industry.
Life
After the Second World War , Helmut Kilpper studied agriculture at the Hohenheim Agricultural University . In 1946 he was one of the founders of the student union Der Zirkel in Hohenheim , which took over the tradition of the Corps Germania Hohenheim in 1947 , making Kilpper a member of the Corps Germania , which was officially revived in 1951. In 1953 he was awarded a Dr. agr. PhD. After graduating, he went into the sugar industry , where he was promoted to board member of Süddeutsche-Zucker-AG and was most recently board spokesman. During his tenure, the group restructured its location in the early 1970s, which included the construction of the Offenau sugar factory and the expansion of the Waghäusel sugar factory, as well as the closure of the sugar factories in Heilbronn , Stuttgart and Züttlingen .
In 1970 Kilpper developed a concept with a work staff to increase productivity during harvest in beet cultivation, which was based in particular on the use of a 6-row self-propelled bunker harvester, which at that time only existed as a prototype. Six-row sugar beet harvesters are state of the art today. In 1973 in Mannheim he was one of the founding members of the Board of Trustees for the Promotion of Sugar Beet Cultivation in Southern Germany .
