About us :
The success story of today’s international Goldschmidt Group begins in 1895 with the invention of the Thermit® process by the chemist and pioneer of the railroad, Professor Hans Goldschmidt. He had succeeded in making the reduction of metal oxides with aluminum powder technically applicable.Hans Goldschmidt (1861-1923) is the second son of Theodor Goldschmidt and Johanna Sophie Luise Goldschmidt (born Koner). He went to high school in Altenburg and studied chemistry from 1882, first in Berlin and then, like his older brother Karl Goldschmidt, at the University of Heidelberg, where he received his doctorate in 1886. After completing his doctorate, he took over the management of the father’s company “Chemische Fabrik Th. Goldschmidt”. The Thermit® process he developed in 1895, which made it possible to easily produce carbon-free metals such as iron, chromium and manganese, is still considered a standard procedure for welding railway and tram rails that is unsurpassed in quality worldwide.
