Johann Albert Eytelwein belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Johann Albert Eytelwein as German engineer (1764-1848).
Johann Albert Eytelwein was born at Frankfurt in 1764. His recorded nationality is Free City of Frankfurt.
The eighteenth century organised knowledge into academies, expeditions and collections, and turned patronage into something closer to a profession.
The record gives his occupations as engineer, mathematician and civil engineer.
Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
His recorded fields of work are mathematics, civil engineering studies and hydraulic engineering.
That the work was done from Free City of Frankfurt matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Johann Albert Eytelwein died in 1848 at the age of 84. The work outlived the arguments around it.
