Gottfried Heinrich Gerber (born November 18, 1832 in Hof, Bavaria, died January 3, 1912 in Munich, Germany) was a German engineer and inventor of the Gerber carrier.[1][2] He has received several patents for his systems for building bridges.[3]
Background
Gerber studied at the Polytechnic schools in Nuremberg and Munich, and in 1852 he joined the Bavarian Staatsbaudienst, where he worked on the railways. He assisted in the planning for the Großhesseloher bridge and the bridge was completed in 1857. During this time Gerber developed the Pauli carrier foresaw. After the bridge was finished Gerber was appointed as the chief engineer of the Maschinenfabrik Velcro bridge department in Nuremberg.
