  • This is so great. Heinrici was my great-great-grandfather and even though I´ve heard so much about his machine in my youth I have never actually seen running one. Thank you so much!!!

  • cool, which heinrici was your grandfather?

  • Joseph Hans Louis Heinrici, Louis H.´s first born son, was my great-grandfather. He was an optician, selling telephones in Germany first, for opticians used to be mechanics as well in these days. He died early but I actually got to know his wife Charlotte, blessed with 97 years (died 1978). She was one heck of a woman (WW I and II, loss of husband, wealth and surpression through Nazis and Communists in East Germany - great stories though), but nobody was able to explain ol´Louis Motor to me.

  • wow thats awesome, so his father was louis heinrici of zwickau in saxony? love to hear the full history from you or if you have any photos etc be a honor to read and see them

  • would love to hear more about this and do a write up on the Heinrici engine, its great that this information isnt lost
