Klaus Tschira belongs to the commercial record as a figure whose ventures outlasted the conditions that produced them.
The record lists Klaus Tschira as German businessman (1940-2015).
Klaus Tschira was born at Freiburg im Breisgau in 1940. His recorded nationality is Germany. He was educated at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.
He worked as entrepreneur and physicist.
His recorded holdings include Villa Bosch and SAP.
Commercial success is easy to measure and hard to interpret; timing and market do much of the work.
Recognition followed: Order of Merit of Rhineland-Palatinate, Officer's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany (2009) and Alwin-Walther medal (2008).
That the business was built from Germany shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
Klaus Tschira died in 2015, aged 75. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
