Max Eyth

He was born in Kirchheim unter Teck to Edward Eyth (1809–1884), a teacher of Greek and history at an evangelical seminar and his wife Julie.

He lived from 1841 to 1852 in Schöntal Abbey where his father was Ephorus at the Evangelical Seminary Maulbronn and Blaubeuren.

He collected his first experiences at the steam engine factory Gotthilf Kuhn in Berg near Stuttgart.

Although his degree, he had to absolve a training as mechanist before he was allowed to make constructors work.

Max Eyth founded the German Agricultural Society (DLG) in 1885.
