Robert Bosch in Feuerbach
Die Robert Bosch GmbH – heute in aller Welt vertreten – wurde 1886 von Robert Bosch (1861–1942) als „Werkstätte für Feinmechanik und Elektrotechnik“ in Stuttgart gegründet. Im Jahr 1902 brachte Bosch die Hochspannungs-Magnetzündung mit Zündkerze auf den Markt. Sie setzte weltweit den Standard für verlässliche und sichere Zündung im Kraftfahrzeug und konnte sich erfolgreich gegen alle Konkurrenz behaupten.

1909 kaufte er in Feuerbach ein Grundstück zur Errichtung einer Fabrik, weil die Flächen im Zentrum Stuttgarts zu klein waren und es dort keine Erweiterungsmöglichkeiten gab. In Feuerbach fand er ausreichend Industriebauland, auf dem er seine Produktionsstätte nach und nach ausbaute, die jetzt rund 5,5 Hektar umfasst. Heute ist das Feuerbacher Bosch-Werk die größte und älteste Produktionsstätte des globalen Unternehmens. Robert Bosch wurde 1917 zum Ehrenbürger von Feuerbach und Stuttgart ernannt.

Die Figur des Robert Bosch wurde gestiftet von der Robert Bosch GmbH.

in Stuttgart in 1886 by Robert Bosch (1861–1942) as the “Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering.” In 1902, Bosch introduced the high-voltage magneto ignition system with a spark plug. It established the worldwide standard for reliable and safe motor-vehicle ignition and successfully prevailed over its competitors.

In 1909, Bosch purchased land in Feuerbach to build a factory because the available sites in central Stuttgart were too small and offered no room for expansion. In Feuerbach, he found sufficient industrial land and gradually expanded his production facility, which now covers approximately 5.5 hectares. Today, the Bosch plant in Feuerbach is the company’s largest and oldest production facility. Robert Bosch was made an honorary citizen of Feuerbach and Stuttgart in 1917.

The Robert Bosch figure was donated by Robert Bosch GmbH.
