Meissner, Karl

Chem.y 1819, XXV, 379 1821, xxxi, 172 (sabadillin). Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Meissner (Halle 2 July 1792-30 April 1853), an apothecary in Halle, also found copper in plant ashes J. Chem.y 1816, xvii, 340. 

At about the same time as the work was going on in Gottingen, two other German chemists also discovered Stromeyer s element in products emanating from Silesian calamine. Karl Meissner from Halle and Carl Karsten from Berlin announced their discovery the year after Stromeyer. Thus they were passed on the finishing line and are forgotten in all tables of element discoverers. They deserve a mention here. 

The list price for hexamine in 1991 was 70 cents/lb granular in bags." Licensers for the process are Karl Fischer and Josef Meissner." ...
