Böttger Plaque

The Böttger Plaque has been awarded since 1929 to personalities who have rendered outstanding services to the interaction of industry, science and teaching.

The plaque commemorates Johann Friedrich Böttger (1682‑1719), a naturalist, materials scientist and alchemist, who developed Böttger stoneware in 1707 and European hard porcelain in 1708 with Tschirnhaus and Ohain. In 1710, the Royal Saxon Porcelain Manufactory was founded, the management of which was entrusted to Johann Friedrich Böttger by King August I of Saxony.

A note on the term alchemist:

Justus Liebig already commented in his Chemical Letters in 1844: "Among the alchemists, there was always a core of genuine natural scientists (...). What Glauber, Böttger, Kunckel achieved in this direction can boldly be placed alongside the greatest discoveries of our century.

So far, the Böttger Plaque has been awarded to:
