from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Philipp Schifferdecker (born May 31, 1811 in Mosbach , † October 1, 1887 in Königsberg i. Pr. ) Was a German industrialist.

Life

Like his ancestors, Schifferdecker learned the brewery in the Mosbacher malt house . Brought to Königsberg by E. Ritzhaupt, a brother of his mother's, he opened a state-of-the-art malt brewery in Tuchmachergasse in 1839 for the production of bottom-fermented beer . With that he introduced the Bavarian beer in East Prussia . Until then, only top-fermented beer was drunk, which was made from a lot of malt in one of the Löbenicht breweries . In 1849 Schifferdecker relocated his brewery to Ponarth . After the transformation into a limited partnership , he left the management to his brother Eduard Schifferdecker . He went back to his homeland and bought the Bergheimer Mühle (Heidelberg) in 1873 , which he converted into the Portland Cement Plant, Heidelberg, Schifferdecker & Sons . From it went HeidelbergCement , a DAX-listed corporation forth. After bankruptcy was averted in 1875, Schifferdecker moved back to Königsberg. As a member of the supervisory board , he took care of the brewery in Ponarth, which, as the largest brewery in East Prussia, had become a stock corporation.

Schifferdecker was a freemason and from 1878 a member of the Königsberg lodge Zum Todtenkopf and Phoenix .

In Königsberg (Ponarth) the street from Brandenburger Strasse to Krupp-Strasse was named after Schifferdecker.
