Johann Hubert Inden

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Hubert Inden (born January 16, 1865 in Düsseldorf ; † September 4, 1931 there ) was a German industrialist.

Life

Johann Hubert Inden was born as the son of the Düsseldorf fittings smith and manufacturer Paul Heinrich Inden (1838–1879) and the daughter of a forest clerk, Marie Elisabeth, née Wolf (1836–1914). After school, a year-long apprenticeship in Antwerp and military service, he studied engineering at the Technical University of Berlin from 1885 in order to prepare himself technically for taking on management tasks in his father's company. During his studies he became a member of the Corps Rheno-Guestphalia .

In 1888 Inden joined the Fittingsfabrik Gebr. Inden GmbH in Düsseldorf. In 1894 he became managing director and in 1913, after the company was converted into an AG, general director. After the company was incorporated into Phoenix AG for mining and smelting operations in 1921 , he remained General Director. When Phoenix AG transferred to Vereinigte Stahlwerke in 1926 , he retired. With the introduction of numerous innovations, he carried out the change in the manufacture of fittings from a highly developed craft to a highly specialized mass production.

Inden had been married to the Düsseldorf factory owner Mathilde Elsa Branscheid (1874–1942) since 1894, with whom he had a son and three daughters. The son Paul Hubert (* 1896), like his father, a member of the Corps Rheno-Guestphalia Berlin, later became the technical representative of Phoenix-Rheinrohr AG.
