Career

After completing his mining science studies, Traugott Leberecht Hasse received his practical training at the Count's Einsiedel ironworks in Lauchhammer , after which he traveled to ironworks in Silesia and Lusatia .

In 1794/95 he attended the Freiberg Mining Academy .

From 1795 to 1800 he worked as a smelter in Lauchhammer and soon received special tasks:

In 1801 he became head of the Elbingor or Hüttenwerke and in 1803 drafted plans to expand the " Rothen Hütte " (on the Bode at the foot of the Brocken ), the implementation of which failed due to the chaos of war in the following years.

In 1808 he took over the state ironworks Wolfsgrün (on the Zwickauer Mulde near Blauenthal ) and headed it until it closed in 1815, after which he became a tithe and hammer inspector in Schneeberg and remained in this position until his retirement in 1846.

Act

He mainly dealt with technical questions such as the possible coal savings in smelting and the greater use of cast iron instead of wood. For this he was able to fall back on the experiences of his work in Lauchhammer and at the "Rothen Hütte".

In 1820 he decided to publish a statistical and technical history of the iron and steel industry, but this was not done because he received no contributions from the specialist circles.

In 1836 he published a statistical work “Iron production in Germany viewed from the point of view of the state economy” and referred to the economic situation of the Saxon companies under his control. In this work, convinced of the importance of the iron industry in the war, he called for the nationalization of private companies and the introduction of high tariffs, even at the risk of prices rising.

In 1848 tariff consultations took place in the Frankfurt National Assembly . He opposed the unilateral favoring of consumer interests through low entry tariffs on iron and demanded protective tariffs and export premiums to revive the entire iron industry . He warned early on of the consequences of a free-trade customs policy when Germany was still at the beginning of industrialization .

Memberships

He was an honorary member of the Annaberg trade association .
