Werner Kriesel was the only child of the farmer and trained butcher Walter Kuno Kriesel (1906–1945) and his wife Frieda Kriesel, nee. Weber (1911–1983) was born in Cap (now part of the city of Trzcianka , Schönlanke), Deutsch Krone district near Schneidemühl in West Prussia . Both parents were cosmopolitan, not least because of their close relatives in Berlin, which included an overseas merchant who had suggested a longer stay in Italy in 1937 and before that, around 1930, the father would work for two years in the USA . As a young man, his father got to know the use of machines on farms and assembly line production in the slaughterhouses of Chicago. The couple later implemented part of this experience on their own farm through appropriate investments. However, the father did not return from the Second World War . At the end of 1945 the family was expelled to Saxony-Anhalt with the total loss of all assets. From 1947 to 1955 Kriesel attended the elementary school in Alsleben (Saale) and then as a boarding school student at the secondary school in Bernburg (Saale) .

After graduating from high school in 1959, he went to the Magdeburg University of Heavy Mechanical Engineering , which was then under the rectorate of Ernst-Joachim Gießmann and which was renamed in 1961 to the "Otto-von-Guericke" Technical University . He studied mechanical engineering as a basic course and as a specialist at the Institute for Measurement, Control and Regulation Engineering with Heinrich Wilhelmi . He belonged to the first generation of students who were fully trained here (chair: Heinz Töpfer ). At the beginning of 1965, under Rector Friedrich Kurth , he acquired his first academic degree as a graduate engineer (Dipl.-Ing.) In the field of control engineering ( supervisor: Herbert Ehrlich ) at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering ( dean : Hans-Erich Weinschenk ).

He started his career immediately afterwards at the Institute for Control Engineering Berlin (IfR), the central research and development facility with 1,800 employees at the time, which belonged to the VVB control engineering, device construction and optics with 11 production companies for measurement, control and regulation technology .

He has been with the dentist Christa Kriesel , b. Faatz (* 1941) married. The couple has two daughters, Kristin Kriesel (* 1966) and Anke Kriesel (* 1972), who have trained as doctors and psychologists, and a grandson (* 1999).

Control engineer in industry

Kriesel worked as a development engineer for control devices; his first tasks included controllers without auxiliary power and relay transmitters for small and mass automation, especially in cooperation with the Mertik Quedlinburg company . In addition, in cooperation with the German Academy of Sciences (DAW), Institute for Regulation and Control Engineering Dresden ( Heinrich Kindler , Heinz Töpfer, Hans-Joachim Zander ), industrial analog computing devices and fluidics to expand the DRELOBA control system .

Institute for Automatic Control (IfR), Berlin-Friedrichshain, Neue Bahnhofstrasse 9–17 (until 1968)

In IfR Berlin Kriesel won a broad insight into the practical application of engineering services for automation technology, both through the extensive laboratories and workshops, as well as its own pilot plant with several hundred employees, as well as by its proximity to the equipment and systems manufacturers and major users such as nuclear power plant Rheinberg , large power plants or large-scale chemistry . He gained a wide range of professional experience very quickly, as he worked in a circle of experts in industrial measurement, control and regulation technology, which also included recognized personalities such as Bruno Golecki , winner of the Stalin Prize of 1953, the highest award in the Soviet Union at the time.

Kriesel took over the management of his department and made specific contributions with his employees for the development of the universal system of devices and facilities for the automation of technological processes called "ursamat", for whose conception the national prize of the GDR 1st class for science and technology 1967 to the management collective Hanns Haas, Siegfried Spieß, Helmut Wiedmer and Gerhard Obenhaus was awarded. This system was described in the ursamat manual , in which Kriesel was involved. During this time, he also received his doctorate in 1968 as an external student at the Humboldt University in Berlin . After that he dealt part-time with issues of contemporary cybernetics , for which he published a book together with his IfR colleague, the physicist Peter Gudermuth, in 1972.

Institute for Automatic Control (IfR) / Center for Research and Technology (ZFT), Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, Storkower Straße 115A (1968–1991, then AUCOTEAM)

He expanded his department for the field of "digital control technology", and an extensive project was the controls for all control rooms of the new oil processing plant (EVW) in Schwedt / Oder . In 1969 they also enabled the first successful use of process computers (import from Elliot Automation, GB) in the large-scale petrochemical industry of the GDR. This favored the IfR's own developments for a process computer system with the small computer KR 4200 ( Robotron ). For this purpose, Kriesel and his department took on the development of the entire process output periphery "ursadat 4000" with various variants of analog, digital and incremental outputs. In particular, he got to know the bus technology better than a digital, parallel bus system for a standard interface (SI 2.2). Kriesel has been increasingly concerned with this bus technology since the late 1960s, so that he eventually became a pioneer of independent industrial communication technology.

Kriesel exercised part-time teaching activity at the TH Magdeburg, where he was granted the teaching qualification ( Facultas Docendi ) in 1971 . The IfR generally supported the cooperation with colleges, universities and academy institutes, so that professors emerged from the IfR: Gunter Schwarze , Achim Sydow, Georg Brack , Wolfgang Weller , Bernhard Rodenbeck, Hans Fuchs, Jürgen Beuschel , Werner Kriesel and others in the 1970s the center for research and technology (ZFT) of the combine Elektro-Apparate-Werke (EAW) Berlin-Treptow . From this, AUCOTEAM GmbH was founded in April 1991 via a management buy-out with employee participation (25th company anniversary in 2016).

University lecturer for control engineering

In 1971, Kriesel received an appointment as a university lecturer for control engineering at the TH Otto-von-Guericke Magdeburg (equivalent to C3 professor ). At the Technical Cybernetics and Electrical Engineering section (Director: H. Töpfer) with the technical cybernetics course , he systematically expanded the field of automation devices and systems into an independent subject area, including new specialist books. In doing so, he relied on the preliminary work of his academic teacher Heinrich Wilhelmi , who was emeritus at the same time, as well as on the series of teaching series "Components of Control Engineering" by Heinrich Kindler , on his extensive specific industrial experience and on close cooperation with Heinz Töpfer .

At the same time, he developed his own industry-related research activity. For innovative multivariable controls based on state space descriptions based on Ulrich Korn's design method, specific device solutions and a semi-industrial system for practical testing were created. Furthermore, research was carried out on the reliability of automation systems as well as on structural change for a future generation of automation systems with decentralized, intelligent and bus-coupled functional units based on single-chip microcomputers. This new system concept has become the basis of his long-term research strategy up to the present day.

In 1974 he was appointed member and secretary of the Central Working Group (ZAK) "Control and Regulation Technology" newly founded by H. Töpfer at the Research Council and was a member of the ZAK until 1990. From 1976 to 1979 he was Deputy Section Director for Research. During this time, he did his habilitation at the Humboldt University in Berlin in 1978 with Klaus Fuchs-Kittowski , which was recognized by the Mathematics and Natural Sciences Faculty II, Department of Computer Science, after reunification. He also worked at Urania and was a member of the Urania Presidium in Berlin.

In 1978 Töpfer moved to the Technical University of Dresden to the professorship of his academic teacher Heinrich Kindler, which had been vacant for years, and this prompted Kriesel to try to move to Leipzig.

Acting as a professor for automation and communication

Leipzig, Wächterstraße 13, building of the former TH Leipzig for the two sections of automation systems and electrical energy systems, today Wiener-Bau : Faculty building of the HTWK Leipzig

In 1979, Kriesel was appointed full professor for automation technology at the Technical University of Leipzig (THL), Automation Systems Section (Director: Werner Richter ). His professional successor in Magdeburg was arranged in 1981 when Peter Neumann was appointed to a chair in "Devices and Systems for Automation Technology".

In Leipzig, Kriesel expanded the training of qualified engineers in the specialization for automation systems, which is unique in the German-speaking region, with his courses for automation devices and systems. During this period, the two sections of automation systems and electrical power systems (Director: Siegfried Altmann ) worked closely together at the Technical University of Leipzig to develop the technological profile line systems for electrical engineering in training and research.

Accordingly, Kriesel expanded his chair into a new science area of automation systems . Added to this was the likewise unique specialization in building automation under his leadership and with support from the Vice-Rector for Natural and Technical Sciences Dietrich Balzer . In cooperation with the Building Industry Section of the TH and the Building Academy Berlin, the first graduates were bid farewell here at the end of the 1980s. Kriesel was appointed to the advisory board for civil engineering / architecture at the Ministry of Higher Education and Technical Schools MHF (1985–1990) and the scientific council of the Bauakademie Berlin (1986–1990), at the same time he was a member of the faculty for technical sciences and the senate of the TH Leipzig (1988–1990).

With a workforce of 120 employees, around 30 doctoral student positions, 60 staff positions in the industrial-university complex system automation (IHK) as a transfer facility and approx. 500 students, one of the largest higher education institutions in the German-speaking region with an exclusive specialization in automation technology was established in Leipzig. This enabled Kriesel, as Deputy Section Director for Research (1981–1990), together with all 6 chairs for the main components of automation systems, to undertake extensive research projects with the automation industry, concentrating on the focus “preparation for a future generation of automation systems” (equipment and Regulator-Werke Teltow and others).

Kriesel was a member of the Scientific and Technical Society for Measurement and Automation Technology (WGMA) in the Chamber of Technology (KDT) Berlin and worked in the two technical committees “Automation Systems” and “Communication Systems” (1982–1990). At the same time he was Deputy Chairman of the KDT in the Leipzig district (1981–1990) and was elected a member of the KDT Presidium in Berlin (1983–1990), working in both positions for further training.

In May 1990 he was appointed as a member of the Research Council of the first freely elected GDR government by the Prime Minister Lothar de Maizière .

After the German reunification , a department for electrical engineering was formed from its previous automation systems section in 1991, which also included an Institute for Automation Systems (IfAS) with Kriesel as the elected director (1990–1992). He was a member of the faculty for electrical engineering and mechanical engineering at the TH Leipzig (1991–95). Kriesel ensured a contemporary expansion of the laboratory internships thanks to fundraising funds ( Gunther Schroff Foundation, Volkswagen Foundation, cooperation with Steinbeis Foundation and others) and through research funding and research cooperation with companies such as Siemens , Festo and others. a.

He was also a member of the supervisory board of Automation Technology Leipzig GmbH on behalf of the Federal Government's Treuhandanstalt (1990–1991).

Kriesel was elected as the state chairman of Saxony of the Association of Universities and Science (VHW) in the German Association of Civil Servants and was a member of the VHW federal board in Bonn (1991-96) with the federal chairman Reinhard Kuhnert . The Saxon State Minister for Science and Art, Hans Joachim Meyer , appointed him Deputy Chairman of its University Council (1991–93).

Since the reunification he worked in the VDI / VDE Society for Measurement and Automation Technology (GMA) in Düsseldorf / Frankfurt am Main (former chairman: Martin Polke ). He was elected division manager and was a member of the board from 1994-2000 as well as chairman of the two national technical committees "Communication Technology in Distributed Automation Systems" and "History of Measurement, Automation and Control Technology" (1996 co-founder of the Automatic Museum of the University of Technology, Economics and Culture Leipzig (HTWK)). For the 1997 electoral term, he was elected Deputy Federal Chairman of the GMA.

Campus Merseburg, main building (2014)

In 1995, Kriesel was appointed to the Merseburg University of Applied Sciences (Rector: Johanna Wanka ). As a professor of automation technology, he taught the fields of control technology, automation devices and systems as well as production automation including robot control in the electrical engineering, information technology and media department. In addition, he has developed the new subject "Industrial Communication Technology" nationwide, represented it as an independent subject and created specialist books with several editions.

In cooperation with Frank Sokollik , Peter Cschornack , Peter Helm , Tatjana Lange and Rainer Winz , internship facilities have been created for automation technology at the Merseburg University of Applied Sciences at the level of industry-related automated systems for process engineering and air conditioning, which represent a unique selling point compared to comparable university facilities in German-speaking countries . Overall, Kriesel contributed to the development and profiling of the automation technology course in the electrical engineering course. At the same time he was a member of the research commission of the university's senate. He supported the work of the affiliated institute Fluid and Pump Technology (FPT) of his research-active colleague Dominik Surek in the engineering and natural sciences (INW) department and cooperated with the mechatronics engineer Manfred Lohöfener , who was later elected dean there .

The third-party funded research since reunification in his research groups in Leipzig and Merseburg included over 25 joint projects with well-known industrial research partners, including a. Siemens , Mercedes , Festo , Pepperl + Fuchs and more than 40 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as companies from Great Britain and Italy. The research focus was mainly in the field of industrial communication on the process-level sensor - actuator plane (so-called field bus systems ), including a tangent problem areas such as diagnostic tools, test tools for certification functions for conformity assessment to novel electronic components (ideal inductors as Faltflexspulen , in cooperation with the Steinbeis Transfer Center Mechatronics Ilmenau, head: Eberhard Kallenbach ).

After the opening of the border, Kriesel and his research group were able to show preliminary results for intelligent functional units that can be directly bus-coupled, in particular for a new type of communication system for bus linking of controls with associated sensors and actuators. Festo was interested in this research and was supported by the President of Festo USA Horst Saalbach . The Federal Ministry for Research and Technology (BMFT) started a joint project on this subject, in which 11 companies including Festo together with the TH Leipzig (IfAS, W. Kriesel) and the University of Karlsruhe (FZI, K. Bender) over the years 1991 to 1994 developed corresponding solutions as prototypes. The result is a world first, a communication system suitable for industrial use for the highly effective linking of programmable logic controllers with machines and systems under the name "ASI" or AS-Interface .

This AS-Interface system is now the world market leader in communication on the sensor-actuator level according to the world standard IEC 62026 and European standard with almost 100 manufacturers in 13 countries. A total of around 40 million system chips for bus nodes (slaves) have been produced up to 2019 since the market launch in 1994, and over 150 million sensors and actuators have been networked with them. Kriesel supported the market launch of this unconventional technology by actively participating in regular nationwide advanced training seminars for industrial communication, especially in the Haus der Technik in Essen and Munich (external institute of RWTH Aachen University) from 1992 to 2003.

Kriesel has given numerous lectures at scientific events, some of which he initiated and helped to organize himself. His scientific publications also reflect his teamwork and include over 200 papers, including over 30 books with up to 7 editions. He was involved in 20 patents, including 6 European patents during the GDR period. He has drawn up reports on 50 dissertations and habilitation theses (including 25 for his own doctoral students) as well as on 5 major problem cases in industrial automation. The following professors emerged from his academic environment: Klaus Steinbock ( HTWK , founding rector), Klaus Fiedler ( Leuphana University Lüneburg ), Klaus Kabitzsch ( Technical University Dresden ), Tilo Heimbold (HTWK), Peter Helm ( University of Merseburg ) and Alexander Chorchordin ( Donetsk) , Ukraine).

As a pioneer of industrial communication technology , he sees this subject, in which Germany is a world leader with its companies and research potential, by no means complete. Therefore, he continues to work on the scientific preparation for future solutions in contact with industry and research partners. He and his team rely on interdisciplinary scientific collaborations in the fields of communications ( University of Stuttgart , Professorship Joachim Speidel ) and circuit technology ( University of Rostock , Professorship Helmut Beikirch ).
