FRESENIUS, KARL REMIGIUS (1818-1897)

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 209 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FRESENIUS, KARL REMIGIUS (1818-1897) , German chemist, was born at
Frankfort
 -on-
Main
  on the 28th of December 1818. After spending some time in a pharmacy in his native town, he entered
Bonn
  University in 1840, and a year later migrated to Giessen, where he acted as assistant in
Liebig
 's laboratory, and in 1843 became assistant professor. In 1845 he was appointed to the chair of
chemistry
 , physics and technology at the Wiesbaden Agricultural Institution, and three years later he became the first director of the chemical laboratory which he induced the Nassau government to establish at that place. Under his care this laboratory continuously increased in size and popularity, a school of pharmacy being added in 1862 (though given up in 1877) and an agricultural research laboratory in 1868. Apart from his administrative duties Fresenius occupied himself almost exclusively with analytical
chemistry
 , and the fullness and accuracy of his text-books on that subject (of which that on qualitative
analysis
  first appeared in 1841 and, that on quantitative in 1846) soon rendered them standard works. Many of his
original
  papers were published in the Zeitschrift fits analytische Chemie, which he founded in 1862 and continued to edit till his death. He died suddenly at Wiesbaden on the 11th of June 1897. In 1881 he handed over the directorship of the agricultural research station to his son,
Remigius
  Heinrich Fresenius (b. 1847), who was trained under H.
Kolbe
  at
Leipzig
 . Another son, Theodor Wilhelm Fresenius (b. 1856), was educated at Strassburg and occupied various positions in the Wiesbaden laboratory.
