It is for this reason that I have chosen to begin the LOST SCIENCE series with his biography. Our story begins in the Kingdom of <lang xml:lang="de-DE">Wurttemberg</lang>.

Known for his humility and deep sensitivity, the enormous scientific contributions made by him in European industry and research are legendary.</speak>'
