Konrad Baetz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konrad Baetz (born March 16, 1877 in Würzburg , † after 1935) was a German engineer , inventor and university professor.

Life

After completing school and university training as a graduate engineer, Baetz became a professor at the royal Bavarian college for mechanical engineering and electrical engineering in Würzburg in 1905. From 1912 to 1919 he was a professor of engineering subjects at the technical department of the Sino-German University of Tsingtau . When he returned to the German Reich he became a professor at the United Mechanical Engineering School in Würzburg.

He was a senior construction officer and inventor of new construction methods for steam and gas turbines. There is a description of the test machine built at the Shanghai Engineering School . Baetz researched and published, among other things, on processes for carrying out catalytic reactions between gases or vapors. Later he also devoted himself to rocket propulsion.

Konrad Baetz lived in Würzburg, Fritz-Dahn-Straße 9.
