Zimmermann & Buchloh

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zimmermann & Buchloh was a company founded in Berlin in 1878 , which was operated as a railway signal construction establishment and iron foundry and was located on the property at Fehrbelliner Strasse 49 from 1881, later on the property at Uferstrasse 6a. From 1905 a new production facility was established in Borsigwalde . To this end, Zimmermann & Buchloh was the first company to acquire a property of around 14 acres (over 35,000 m²) in 1905 after the founding of Borsigwald and had a factory built there in the neo-Gothic style that no longer exists.

history

Eduard Zimmermann and Ernst Buchloh were employed by the Berlin-Hamburger Eisenbahn and recognized the need for a technical solution for safe rail operations . To do this, they developed a mechanical signal box . In 1882 Zimmermann & Buchloh in Hagenow (Mecklenburg) built the first larger interlocking systems for the Berlin-Hamburg Railway using their own, patented system. The switches are remote-controlled by means of rods with rod guides that roll along with them (first balls, later rollers). In 1909 the company was converted into a stock corporation. After the shares were taken over by the E. Stahmer railway signal construction company, production was relocated to Georgsmarienhütte . In 1917, both companies were merged to form Deutsche Eisenbahn-Signalwerke , which in turn was merged with the Brunswick company Max Jüdel to form the Max Jüdel, Stahmer, Bruchsal AG railway signaling company . For economic reasons, the United Railway Signal Buildings (VES) were founded in 1928 with Siemens and AEG .
