Welcome to my Store. Dear Buyers, We Are Pleased To Offer You. Rudolf Fuess Berlin Steglitz Barographer. Scratches and abrasions, height about 28 cm Width about 13 cm length about 32 cm. Udolf Fuess was the tenth child of Ludwig Fuess and Johanna Fuess, née Bilz. During his training with Mechanicus Hermann Pfaff in Göttingen from 1853 to 1857, Fuess attended lectures in mathematics , physics and optics at the university there, among others with Wilhelm Eduard Weber and Johann Benedict Listing. After his apprenticeship, he stayed with Pfaff for six months, then went to his friend Hugo Schröder in Hamburg and in 1860 became an assistant in the R. Löhmann company in Berlin, which manufactured leveling instruments. In 1865, Fuess established his own workshop at Mauerstrasse 84 in Friedrichstadt. In the years that followed, the company moved again and again, in 1870 to Wasserthorstraße 46 in Luisenstadt and in 1873 to Alte Jakobstraße 108. In 1891, the company, which had meanwhile expanded considerably, moved into a new factory building on Dünther Straße in Berlin-Steglitz. From around 1875, Fuess began to manufacture not only optical devices but also meteorological instruments such as anemometers. After the Greiner & Geißler company was taken over in 1877, the range of products was expanded to include thermometers and barometers. As a result, meteorological precision instruments that Fuess developed in collaboration with important meteorologists, such as Richard Aßmann’s aspiration psychrometer and Heinrich von Wild’s vessel lifter barometer , left the workshop. He met the growing demand for recording devices, for example, with the balance barograph and the photogrammetricCloud Automata by Adolf Sprung and the Rain Recorder by Gustav Hellmann. Many of his developments were recommended as standard instruments and could be used for calibration. In addition to the scientists, he also supplied the industry. His anemometers were used in mines, his thermometers in the chemical industry and his hygrometers in tobacco factories. Rudolf Fuess died in 1917 and was buried in the old cemetery of St. From 1990 to 2015 his grave was dedicated to the city of Berlin as a grave of honor.
