History of Siemens
Siemens is a German electrical engineering company offering services in the fields of energy, transportation and health care. The company was founded in 1847 by Ernst Werner von Siemens. The original name of the company, with more than 170 years of history, was 'Telegraphen-Bauanstalt von Siemens & Halske' after the birth of the telegraph.
In 1848, the company was able to build the longest telegraph line in Europe from Berlin to Frankfurt, stretching over 670 kilometres. Thanks to this new communication technology, news from Frankfurt was able to reach Berlin within a single hour.
Another major milestone in the company's history is that Werner von Siemens discovered the dynamo process and was the first to patent it in 1866.
In 1879, the company, then known as Siemens & Halske, introduced the first electric railway controlled by an external power source.
Merger with EAG
In 1873, Sigmund Schuckert founded an engineering workshop in Nuremberg under the name Schuckert & Co (EAG).
By 1900, EAG had built 120 power plants in Europe but, like other companies in the sector, it went into crisis at the beginning of the 20th century. It was then that it merged with the heavy-duty engineering companies of Siemens & Halske, whereby Siemens' operations were split into two parts:
- Siemens & Halske for the low-voltage market.
- Siemens-Schuckertwerke for the high-voltage market.
Of course, there are countless other inventions and developments related to Siemens, such as the first electric street lighting network, telephones, memory chips, database services, and many more.
In 1966 it received the name we know it by today, Siemens AG.
