Julius Kemna
Julius Kemna (December 8, 1837 in Barmen – June 8, 1898 in Breslau) was a German machine manufacturer and industrialist. He was the founder of Kemna Bau. Biography Early life Julius Kemna was born the only son of Johann Abraham Kemna and Carolina Wilhelmina (Wilhelmine) van Hees on December 8, 1837 in Barmen. The family of Johann Abraham Kemna, a wine wholesaler from Barmen and Royal Prussian purveyor to the court (1810–1878), can be traced back to the 15th century, where they lived in the Kemna manor.
