Geschichte (Englisch) |
Werner von Siemens improved the telegraphs, invented by Morse and Wheatstone, and founded an offene Handelsgesellschaft (limited partnership) together with the watch maker and mechanical engineer Johann Georg Halske. The capital of the first company for electrical equipment consisted of 6,843 thaler which were all borrowed from Siemens` uncle Georg. Thus he became a silent partner. In the following years, the company really flourished. Siemens limited the field of his activity largely to communication technology and neglected the power engineering. His brother Karl led the company already before Werner Siemens` death in 1892. In 1897, his cousin Georg urged Karl finally to transform the company in a joint stock company. Today, the company is one of the biggest companies for electrical equipment in the world. |
