Hermann Bückling (born November 24, 1853 ; † January 28, 1938 ) was a German entrepreneur.

Life

He was the owner of the machine factory and mill construction company Bückling & Baum, Solmsstrasse 17, Frankfurt-Bockenheim. According to the commercial register news of March 4, 1885, published in the Chemiker-Zeitung - Central-Organ, Cöthen March 4, 1885, Volume IX, Number 19, Page 345, he initially became a partner in the company S. Hansen & Baum, milling -Machines in Frankfurt am Main, taken from the sole owner at the time, Jacob Baum. The two initially continued the business under the Bückling & Baum company. Hermann Bückling later became the sole owner. The outbreak of World War I and its economic consequences also deprived this Bockenheim industrial company of its business basis.

Although actually a manufacturer, Hermann Bückling as a hobby photographer at the beginning of the last century gained impressive insights into the buildings of the city of Frankfurt am Main as well as into the everyday life of the citizens.

His wife Elisabeth Bückling (* December 1, 1851 - March 20, 1899) died early at the age of 48.

A deceased family member was the Oberbergrat from Berlin Carl Friedrich Bückling (1756-1812). He is considered to be the builder of one of the first German steam engines after he was sent to England by Frederick II and was able to visit the Boulton & Watt steam engine factory in Smethwick near Birmingham (England). He also brought an English mechanical engineer with him to Germany.

The former company building of the company Bückling & Baum at Solmsstrasse 17 was forcibly evacuated as a civil labor camp for foreign forced laborers during the Second World War. In 1944 this property was completely destroyed by aerial bombs. Structural traces are no longer present. Today there are service companies on the newly built property, such as B. a company in the field of media monitoring and media analysis in Central Europe.
