He learned soon how to refill damaged tubes of mercury barometers, which he bought from another haberdasher and sold "with some advantage" on his sale trips. He even learned how to make new barometers by himself. So the family began mass production in the early 1861. They had made the glass tubes in the Thuringian Forest and the dials - printed with the family name Rodenstock - in Würzburg. In 1877 he founded the precision workshop "G. Rodenstock" together with his brother Michael in Würzburg. They sold mathematical, physical and optical instruments, particularly glasses. Josef Rodenstock had already developed the so-called "diaphragm lenses" in the years before settling and started now to sell them and to extend on his ideas. In 1883 the company was transferred to Munich. According to adverts in the "Fliegende Blätter", Rodenstock already had more than 17 sales outlets in German Empire, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Bohemia. The business was going so well that two years later Rodenstock purchased property at a side-arm of the River Isar, where the head office of Rodenstock GmbH was located till 2012. His new factory founded in Regen in the Bavarian Forest in 1898 still producing even today. Rodenstock himself died, aged 85, in Erl, Tyrol in the First Republic of Austria. Alexander Rodenstock (1883-1953), the eldest son of Josef Rodenstock, was not able to complete his study of physics at the Munich Technical University when he received the call of his father to join the company in 1905. The company was as optometrist the imperial warrant of appointment of the German Emperor and King of Prussia Wilhelm II. (en)
  • Josef Rodenstock (Erzhausen, 11 aprile 1846 – Erl, 18 febbraio 1932) è stato un imprenditore tedesco fondatore di Rodenstock, un produttore di sistemi ottici. Josef Rodenstock nacque a Erzhausen, nella provincia prussiana della Sassonia. Primogenito del "pettinatore di lana, mastro meccanico e commerciante" Georg Rodenstock (1819-1894), aveva 14 anni quando iniziò a vendere merci di vario genere, senza licenza di commerciante, per mantenere la sua famiglia. Imparò presto a ricaricare tubi danneggiati di barometri a mercurio, che acquistava da un altro mercante e vendeva "con qualche vantaggio" durante i suoi viaggi. Infine, imparò a costruire nuovi barometri da solo. Così la famiglia iniziò la produzione in serie all'inizio del 1861. Realizzarono i primi tubi di vetro nella Selva di Turingia e i primi quadranti - stampati con il nome di famiglia Rodenstock a Würzburg. Nel 1877 fondò a Würzburg l'officina di precisione "G. Rodenstock" insieme al fratello Michael. Vendevano strumenti matematici, fisici e ottici, in particolare occhiali. Josef Rodenstock aveva già sviluppato le cosiddette "lenti a diaframma" negli anni prima di aver aperto l'attività e iniziò dunque a venderle e ad ampliare le sue idee. Nel 1883 l'azienda fu trasferita a Monaco. Secondo gli annunci del "Fliegende Blätter", Rodenstock aveva già più di 17 punti vendita nell'impero tedesco, in Svizzera, Lussemburgo e in Boemia. L'attività andava così bene che dopo due anni Rodenstock acquistò una proprietà sulle rive del fiume Isar, nel punto in cui si è trovata la sede della Rodenstock GmbH fino al 2012. La nuova fabbrica, fondata nel 1898 a Regen, nella Foresta Bavarese, è tuttora in attività. Rodenstock morì, all'età di 85 anni, a Erl, in Tirolo, nella Prima Repubblica d'Austria. Alexander Rodenstock (1883-1953), il figlio maggiore di Josef Rodenstock, non riuscì a completare i suoi studi di fisica presso l'Università tecnica di Monaco, dal momento che ricevette la chiamata di suo padre per entrare in azienda nel 1905. La società lavorò in qualità di optometrista secondo il mandato imperiale di nomina dell'imperatore tedesco e re di Prussia Guglielmo II. (it)
