Fritz Ossberger was a German civil engineer who, in the early 1920s, set out to find a reliable and economical power source for industry, workshops and mills, with the aim of removing a major stumbling block to the rapid advance of industrialization. Having learned of the work of the Australian engineer Anthony Michell, he contacted him, and the two men quickly built a strong working relationship and together developed a water power turbine suited to medium-sized manufacturing firms. The resulting free stream turbine design was granted German Imperial Patent No. 361 593, and the Ossberger turbine, a cross-flow water turbine, was born.
