Max Hildebrand

Max Hildebrand (23 December 1839, Heideblick - 26 June 1910, Freiberg) was a German mechanic and entrepreneur.

After completing that apprenticeship, he was employed as a precision mechanic for "Pistor & Martins", a company that made surveying and measuring tools.

There, he did work for the Berlin Observatory, the Imperial Standard Calibration Commission and the German General Staff.

In 1873, he moved to Freiberg, where he became a partner in the precision engineering workshop, "August Lingke & Compagnie", which would later become "Hildebrand & Schramm".

In 1909, the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology and the Technische Universität Dresden joined to present him with an honorary Doktoringenieur degree.
