Karl Rümmele

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Johann Rümmele (born March 27, 1859 in Durlach ; † August 21, 1942 in Neustadt (Black Forest) ) was a railway construction engineer with the Baden State Railways .

Life

Karl Rümmele was the son of Johann Rümmele (partly also Rummeler) and Lisette Barbara Wolf. He was baptized on March 30, 1859 in the Peter and Paul Church in Durchlach. On September 18, 1890, he married Maria Schaller (* May 12, 1868) in Blumberg .

Act

In 1888 Karl Rümmele, the then II. Class engineer, was appointed railway engineer by Grand Duke Friedrich I and in 1890 he was transferred from Zollhaus to Stühlingen (both on the Wutachtalbahn ).

On May 15, 1893, Karl Rümmele registered with the Imperial Patent Office under number R. 8058 a patent for a method for sealing the joints of water-permeable masonry , which was published in the Reichsanzeiger on March 19, 1894.

At the end of 1893, railway engineer Rümmele von Stühlingen was assigned to the Waldshut railway inspection (Waldshut station ), while his colleague there, Karl Weyer, switched to the railway inspector in Constance. At the beginning of 1895, Rümmele was appointed government master builder. In 1896 he and Otto Ruch from Überlingen joined the Neustadt i. Sis. Allocated. In 1900 he was given the title of railway construction inspector, which he retained when he was appointed director of the Neustadt Railway Construction Inspectorate in 1901. In Neustadt he was commissioned with the planning and execution of the railway line from Kappel-Gutachbrücke to Bonndorf , which was opened in 1907.

From 1902 he planned a continuous footpath through the Wutach Gorge with the title: "Memorandum and notice for the footpath through the Wutach valley between Bad Boll and Wutachmühle". Until then, there was no continuous path along the river between Bad Boll and the Wutachmühle . A first attempt to find a way had failed only a few years earlier because the bridges had already been destroyed with the first flood. Rümmele initially envisaged a path with a total of seven footbridges, but was able to reduce the number of footbridges to four, as he laid further stretches in the rock. The four bars were made in Freiburg and cost a total of 12,000 gold marks . A special feature was the construction of these footbridges as a suspension bridge. The footbridges were anchored on one side in the rock, while on the other side they rested on a stone pillar. If this pillar were destroyed by floods, the bridge would still hang freely on the rock. On July 3, 1904, the 8.4 km long path, long stretches of which was blasted into the rock, was opened.

In 1924, Oberregierungsbaurat Rümmele retired.

Rümmele was a member of the Church History Association for the Archdiocese of Freiburg . From 1894 until his death he was a member (from 1896 honorary member) in the Black Forest Association.

Honors

Old Rümmelesteg. The footbridge hangs on one side of the rock face after the support pillar was destroyed by several floods. In the meantime, the Wutach has widened and relocated its river bed to such an extent that the footbridge can no longer be used and a new Rümmelesteg has been built upstream.

When the path opened, the third Wutach footbridge, which is still present today as a torso, and the rock face there were given the name Rümmelesteg or Rümmelefelsen. The initiator of this path was the Black Forest Association , above all the local groups Bonndorf and Neustadt , who each contributed 5,000 marks to the costs. In 1905 the path was given the name Ludwig-Neumann-Weg in honor of the geographer and then President of the Black Forest Association Ludwig Neumann .
