Silesia

Alaska, Washington, and Nevada. Ores of the Southeast Missouri lead belt and extensive deposits such as in Silesia and Morocco are of the replacement type. These deposits formed when an aqueous solution of the minerals, under the influence of changing temperature and pressure, deposited the sulfides in susceptible sedimentary rock, usually limestone and dolomites. These ore bodies usually contain galena, sphalerite, and pyrite minerals, but seldom contain gold, silver, copper, antimony, or bismuth.

Haber was born in the city of Breslau, Silesia, then part of Germany, on December 9, 1868. As the gateway to German culture for many Eastern European Jews, Breslau bred many a superpatriot, Haber included. Fritz s mother died within days of his birth. His father, a civic leader and successful trader of dyes and chemicals, rejected the child and left his upbringing to various relatives. As a young man, Fritz wanted to become a chemist, but his father insisted that he join the family business. Only after Haber achieved worldwide fame did the two reconcile. 

But one couldn t look back to 1936 and say that Ter Meer, skeptically studying the influence of buna on Farben s fortunes and on the economy as a whole, could foresee that full employment sometimes brings greater evils than unemployment. Auschwitz existed then only as a "buna plant to the east." The name "Auschwitz" did not yet exist, except as the German translation for a little Polish town in Upper Silesia. Not until 1937 did full employment and "buna autarchy" begin to move eastward, driven by more than the danger of financial failure. In that year, said Ter Meer, "political reasons" dictated an abnormal expansion of most of Farben s plants, with the biggest emphasis on buna rubber. 

Ignoring the southern ripple, Ter Meer s advance men scoured the territory of Upper Silesia, which ran from northeast Germany fifty miles into Poland. This special territory had been charted by Farben months before. 

Three miles from the restaurant where they ate dinner, the security clerk of the Vermittlungstelle Wehrmacht was about to quit for the day. He carefully checked the papers that were stamped "secret — l.G. farbenindustre." Among them were rough sketches of a proposed "buna plant to the East," the plans for the Fuerstenberg site in Upper Silesia, and mobilization plans for more than 100,000 tons of buna mbber for the year 1939. 

Arndt, F. Eistert, B. Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1935, 68, 200. Fritz Arndt (1885—1969) was bom in Hamburg, Germany. He discovered the Arndt—Eistert homologation at the University of Breslau where he extensively investigated the synthesis of diazomethane and its reactions with aldehydes, ketones, and acid chlorides. Fritz Arndt s chain-smoking of cigars ensured that his presence in the laboratories was always well advertised. Bernd Eistert (1902-1978), bom in Ohlau, Silesia, was Arndt s Ph.D. student. Eistert later joined I. G. Earbenindustrie, which became BASE after the Allies broke the conglomerate up after WWII. 

Fritsch, P. Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1893, 26, 419. Paul Fritsch (1859—1913) was bom in Oels, Silesia. Fie studied at Munich where he received his doctorate in 1884. Fritsch eventually became a professor at Marburg after several junior positions. 

I am happy, therefore, to be able to inform you, that within these few days, through Mr. Hermann, of Sehonebeck, and Dr. RolofF, of Magdeburg, who took an interest in this metal, I have been placed in a situation which will enable me to carry my experiments further. During the apothecary s visitation in the state of Magdeburg some years ago, there was found in the possession of several apothecaries, a preparation of zinc from Silesia, made in Hermann s manufactory at Sehonebeck, which was confiscated on the supposition that it contained arsenic, because, when dissolved in acids, and mixed with sul-... 

Marggraf then collected clays from various places in Germany, Silesia, and Poland, and distilled them with sulfuric acid, but obtained no satisfactory crystals of alum. When he added fixed alkali in the proper amount, however, he obtained beautiful, large crystals of it (74).
