Hermann Anschütz-Kaempfe

Hermann Franz Joseph Hubertus Maria Anschütz-Kaempfe (3 October 1872 – 6 May 1931) was a German art historian and inventor.

In his quest to navigate to the North Pole by submarine, he became interested in the concept of the gyrocompass.

In 1905 he founded, with Friedrich Treitschke, the company Anschütz & Co (today Anschütz GmbH) in Kiel, Germany.

Anschütz was the first firm to manufacture gyroscopic navigation instruments, which Anschütz-Kaempfe designed.
