Carl Youngest

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Ludwig Jüngst (born June 7, 1831 in Lingen (Ems) , † September 25, 1918 in Gleiwitz ) was a German ironworking specialist .

Life

As the son of the superintendent Jüngst and the fourth child out of eight siblings, Carl Jüngst was born in Lingen an der Ems. His older brother was Heinrich Jüngst . After graduating from high school in his hometown, he joined the former Royal Hanover Mining and Forestry Office in Clausthal in 1849 as a mining enthusiast to devote himself to the iron and steel industry. This was followed by a job as a "hut aspirant" in the Königshütte in the Harz Mountains . Business trips to various Harz huts, to Varel , Augustfehn and on to Austria follow. At the end of February 1858 he passed the second technical examination and received the position of assistant at the ironworks administration of the Königshütte with an annual salary of 250 thalers . In 1865 he began a study trip to Austria, Saxony , Westphalia , Nassau , Siegen and Eastern France, after which he was appointed "Hüttenmeister" at Königshütte.

At the beginning of 1871, Jüngst was transferred to the Königliche Hüttenwerke Gleiwitz. A year later he became the smelter and head of the plant there. His work as a metallurgical manager recently combined with research and as a specialist writer in the field of metallurgy and foundry technology . In 1902, Jüngst retired after 31 years at the Gleiwitzer Hütte.

The Technical University of Wroclaw awarded Carl Jüngst an honorary doctorate in engineering on September 23, 1911 at the ceremonial inauguration of its Metallurgy Institute .
