Wilhelm Carl Johann Wedding
Wilhelm Carl Johann Wedding (born August 18, 1830 in Berlin ; † April 15, 1908 in Berlin) was a Berlin entrepreneur.
After completing the engineering examination in mechanical engineering , Wedding founded a mechanical engineering and iron foundry called “Weddingsche Fabrik” in Oranienburger Strasse 94 in the immediate vicinity of the Oranienburger Tor in Berlin-Mitte in 1857 . The factory was under his management until 1882.
Wedding maintained the business office in Berlin-Gesundbrunnen , at the original headquarters at Ackerstrasse 50 , which he later moved to Ackerstrasse 76. The factory founded by Wedding was bought in 1878 by the "German Edison Society for Applied Electricity", which later renamed itself to AEG . From 1888 to 1890, a five-storey, enclosing building complex was built on the site in Ackerstrasse according to plans by Franz Schwechten and Paul Tropp , which is still largely preserved today. This then became AEG's first factory in Wedding under the name “Weddingsche Apparatefabrik”.
Wedding lived first at Brunnenstrasse 111 in the Berlin district of Wedding and from 1870 at Chausseestrasse 73, also in Berlin's Wedding.
