Johannes Boesler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes Boesler (born October 3, 1898 in Graudenz , † December 30, 1970 in Dresden ) was a German process engineer .

Life

Boesler graduated from 1919-1922 mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Danzig . After graduating, he worked, among other things, as a heat engineer and as a test engineer. He worked for IG Farbenindustrie AG in Oppau from 1926 to 1932 and from 1941 to 1945 as an engineer for laboratory and development work. In the meantime he was a production engineer in Wiesbaden and an engineer for process planning and plant project planning. After the Second World War he worked as deputy managing director and department head for a design and project planning office in Leuna . This office comes from the Uhde family's project planning office. It is of central importance for the chemical industry in East Germany in the development of chemical plant construction in the GDR . In 1953 Boesler was appointed professor at the Technical University of Dresden . There he held the second German chair for process engineering. At that time, the job description of a process engineer did not yet exist, which is why the position should be filled by an experienced industrial practitioner like Boesler. Boesler held the first lectures on process engineering and set up the institute of the same name at the TH Dresden. Since the beginning of his professorship, there has been a valid curriculum for process engineering in the basic mechanical engineering course. Since Boesler's graduates were also highly valued in West Germany, around half of the graduates left the GDR every year up to 1961. In his ten years at the TH Dresden, Boesler focused primarily on thermal separation of substances , reaction technology and apparatus engineering . So Boesler's beginnings were initially in thermal process engineering .
