Short Biography
Friedrich Siemens (1826-1904)Friedrich Siemens, a younger brother of Werner von Siemens, was born on December 8, 1826. In 1856 he developed the regenerative furnace for industrial processes, which was used first in the glass industry and subsequently in metallurgy. The internationally acclaimed steel manufacturing process based on this furnace was developed by Friedrich and William Siemens, together with the Frenchmen Pierre and Emile Martin - and has been known since 1868 as the Siemens-Martin process. In 1867 Friedrich took over a glass foundry in Dresden and used his regenerative furnace for the mass production of glass. In 1871 he acquired a second glass foundry in Bohemia for the production of lighting articles and bottles. He also leased the state mineral well in Fachingen and developed gas chimneys as a healthier method of heating homes. When Friedrich Siemens died on May 24, 1904 in Dresden, he left behind a prosperous enterprise, which became one of the top European glass companies after World War I.
