KIND Carl Gotthelf

A number of biographies have been published describing KIND’s origins and his technical achievements.
The most comprehensive of these seems to be the one published by GANGLOFF & ZELLER, in 2014.
Carl Gotthelf KIND was born in 1801 in Preiberg (Saxony). He came to Luxembourg in 1837.
He was accompanied by his wife Johanna Rosina WIBRECHT and his son Herrmann, born 1828 in Stotternheim, Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach, Germany.
The couple lived in Echternach in 1839, where they registered the birth of a daughter on 12 November 1839.
The daughter only reached the age of 10 months and died in 1840 in Luxembourg-Clausen.
The above dates seem to be in agreement with KIND’s drilling activities reported in the literature:

Stotternheim (DE) 1831-1835
Cessange 1837-1839
Echternach 1839-1840
Besch I & II (DE) 1840-1841
Mondorf 1841-1846
Stiring (Forbach) (FR) 1846-1850

It has not been possible to establish whether KIND and his family resided in Luxembourg in 1843, the year of the first Luxembourg Census. His family does not appear in the Census reports of Echternach, Luxembourg-Clausen, or Mondorf.
The KIND family, however, was registered in the 1846 Census with an address in Luxembourg-city (place d’Armes 218.)
It is quite likely that KIND left Luxembourg in 1847 for Stiring, near Forbach in France.
KIND’s son Hermann, born 1828, was educated in Luxembourg and later in France where he studied engineering. In March 1850 he represented his father before the French Patent Office as “élève de l’École des mines”of Paris.
Later Hermann joined his father in developing boring techniques and obtained two French patents himself.
Carl Gotthelf KIND died in 1873 in his country house Goldene Bremm, close to Stiring, but on the German side of the border.
