'''{{Style S-Small capitals|Reichenbach, Baron Karl von}}'''. German chemist and industrialist, b. at Stuttgart, Feb. 12, 1788; d. at Leipzig, Jan. 22, 1869. Father was Court Librarian in his native city. Educated in the local Gymnasium and the Univ, of Tübingen where he studied natural sciences and national economy, becoming Doctor of Philosophy. As a youth of sixteen, founded a secret society for the carrying out of a dream, namely, the organizing of a German state on some South Sea Islands; was reported to Napoleon’s police and incarcerated.

In 1839, von Reichenbach was granted the title of Baron by the King of Württemberg. In later years he lived in the Castle of Reisenberg, near Vienna, but moved to Leipzig in 1867. | '''{{Style S-Small capitals|Reichenbach, Baron Karl von}}'''.
