Johann Georg Blezinger

Johann Georg Blezinger (born October 29, 1717 Königsbronn ; † April 15, 1795 ibid) was a German industrialist and businessman .

Blezinger was the son of the innkeeper Georg Blezinger . He first learned the brewing trade in Augsburg and, after hiking through Austria , Hungary , southern Germany and Alsace, took over his father's inn in 1739. Through happy trade, among other things with army supplies in the Austro-Silesian War , Blezinger came to prosperity. He took over all the Württemberg ironworks in the Brenztal and Black Forest on lease and in 1768 bought the ironworks in Ernsbach from the Prince of Hohenlohe-Öhringen . He led the Königsbronner Eisenwaren to national fame.

1772 built Blezinger on Hot Pot for the first time in Europe a weir made of cast iron with a water collection box, the drive-nine cases Eisenhammer and Blasbälge.

Blezinger was friends with his tutor, the poet Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart .
