SCHLESINGER, GEORG
SCHLESINGER, GEORG (1874–1949), German engineer. Born in Berlin, Schlesinger became professor of industrial science at Berlin's Technische Hochschule in 1904, one of the few Jews to hold such a position. A pioneer of industrial psychology, he created the department of psychotechnics. He wrote Psychotechnik und Betriebswissenschaft (1919) and edited the journal Werkstatt-Technik. He also designed modern factories, especially textile works. Dismissed from the Hochschule in 1933, Schlesinger went to Brussels University (1934–39), then to England, where he directed production engineering research at Loughborough College, Leicestershire.
