Later he succeeded as importer of Chilean nitre and built up his own fleet of ships. Finally he became a builder and landowner in the north of Hamburg. However, Edmund Siemers became really famous for his two large foundations: in 1896 Edmundsthal-Siemerswalde in Geesthacht, one of the first pulmonary treatment centres in Germany, and in 1907 the lecture building on the Moorweide, still a symbol of "the University" in Hamburg.Edmund Siemers' life is equally linked to the Hamburg, German and Transatlantic economic history of the 19th and early 20th centuries. He embodies a donor from Hamburg's upper middle classes in an ideal-typical manner. This is the first biography of "Hamburg's Carnegie", who also appeared as a donor and member of the board of trustees of the Hamburg Scientific Foundation. 606 $aHistory$2bicssc 610 $a"Carnegie of Hamburg" 610 $a19th century 610 $a20th century 610 $aEdmund Siemers 610 $aentrepreneur 610 $afounder 610 $aHamburg 610 $aHamburg Scientific Foundation 610 $ashipowner 610 $aUniversity of Hamburg 615 7$aHistory 700 $aGerhardt$b Johannes$0864649 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149666803321 996 $aEdmund Siemers.
