Carl Harries
Carl Dietrich Harries (5 August 1866 – 3 November 1923) was a German
chemist born in
Luckenwalde,
Brandenburg,
Prussia. He received his doctorate in 1892. In 1900, he married
Hertha von Siemens, daughter of the electrical genius
Werner von Siemens, and the inventor of one of the earliest
ozone generators. In 1904, he moved as full professor to the
University of Kiel, where he remained until 1916. During that time he published numerous papers on
ozonolysis. His major publication detailing ozonolysis was published in Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1905, 343, 311. Dissatisfied with academic life and having failed to obtain either of two positions at universities, he left academia to become director of research at Siemens and Halske. He died on 3 November 1923 of complications following surgery for
cancer. He was buried at
Stahnsdorf South-Western Cemetery near Berlin.
His great-grandfather was the German
theologian Heinrich Harries.
