Franz Reuleaux (1829-1905), a German engineer of Belgian heritage, was an influential figure in machine design and kinematics, or the science of movement. He was known for designing more than 800 teaching models to demonstrate kinematic principles. He contributed to the development of engineering as a professional science, integrating mathematical and scientific principles into engineering design. Born in Eschweiler in Prussia, he studied under Ferdinand Redtenbacher at Karlsruhe, and also studied in Berlin and Bonn. After teaching in Zurich at the Polytechnic School, he taught at what became the Koenigs Technischen Hochschule in Berlin-Charlottenburg Berlin for many years, becoming its rector in 1890. As a prominent engineer, he was a German ambassador at international exhibitions and expositions, including the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition in 1876 and the Vienna Exhibition in 1873.
