He came to Dresden at age 13 to attend school there and studied civil engineering at the Technische Universität Dresden as a member of the German Student Corps Altsachsen. He was involved in the reversing of the Chicago river; his name features prominently in stories about the river reversal project.[1] There is a medal named after him.[2] He is buried at West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.[3]
