Life

Wilhelm Carl Johann Diederich Post was the son of the Kommerzienrat Friedrich Wilhelm Post (1798–1865) and Bertha Eleonore Conradine born. Vorster (1822-1890). His ancestors operated a hammer mill in Wehringhausen . In 1758 Johann Caspar Post founded a crude steel hammer mill in what is now the Eilpe district, which under Johann Diedrich Post, who took over from his widowed mother in 1786, expanded into a steel and ironware company with a worldwide reputation. It reached its peak in the 1830s.

Wilhelm Carl Johann Diederich Post took over this company.

The engineer Adolf Bechem (1852–1904) built the first low-pressure steam heating system in Hagen in 1878. In 1881, Post wanted to establish a central heating factory with Bechem. To this end, he rented out his company in 1893. They developed an electro-pneumatic heat telegraph and improved the forge fire with water dust.

In 1881 he had Auguste Amalie Alice, b. Elbers married, with whom he had five daughters and one son. Her daughter Agnes Hedwig Bertha Post (1884–1950) married Adolar Edwin Klein. In 1892 her Villa Post was ready for occupancy.
