00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.080
Hooray, here I am!
Hooray, here I am!
00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:34.640
Onward!
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:43.040
If in Wuppertal you come to the world,
Always keep an umbrella unfurled.
00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:06.400
Hooray, here I am!
Hooray!
00:06:06.640 --> 00:06:11.240
Early on, with much zeal,
Carl filters his meal.
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.640
Time flies by.
00:06:39.960 --> 00:06:41.640
The child grows.
00:06:48.640 --> 00:06:49.640
Onward!
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.440
The child grows.
00:07:04.840 --> 00:07:09.840
Who goes so early where winds blow wild?
It's the mother grasping her child!

Young Carl is now in 6th form.
An idea strikes him like a thunderstorm.
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:59.920
He rejoices: "Eureka, my destiny
Is really to work in chemistry!"
00:08:01.520 --> 00:08:03.640
MY DESTINY
IS IN CHEMISTRY!
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.920
But his father
Is full of anger:
00:08:10.760 --> 00:08:14.600
MY SON WILL BE A RIBBON MAKER!
00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:25.680
His mother can feel his pain
And mercifully gives him free rein.
00:08:27.320 --> 00:08:31.400
She realises that he is a prodigy
And steers him toward chemistry.
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:41.800
He's only 16 but with elation,
Already reaches graduation!

FOX TOWER
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:54.880
Now that he's flown off to Jena,
The Zeisen Inn's his new arena.

JENA
1880-1882
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.760
In addition to chemistry,
He reads mineralogy,
00:10:15.040 --> 00:10:18.080
And geology
As well as economy.
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.120
After barely 4 semesters,
Thanks to...

ETHYL ACETOACETATE
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.760
His doctorate he obtains,
At the top of his class, what brains!

Pr GEUTHER
00:10:58.920 --> 00:11:02.840
HERE YOU CANNOT KEEP ME.
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.400
I NEED TO GO TO THE ARMY.
00:11:07.760 --> 00:11:11.080
"I won't let you go without a fight."
00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:17.600
IN THAT CASE,
00:11:18.880 --> 00:11:20.840
YOU'RE IN FOR A FRIGHT!
00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:41.440
By day, he trains,
By night, he studies.
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.760
HELP, CARL'S DOWN!
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:57.000
Strong as a lion, he shall persevere
And become reserve lieutenant in a year.
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:15.000
And now, let's go, hooray,
Rumpff needs him straight away.
00:12:16.920 --> 00:12:19.360
And Carl is back!

00:12:33.160 --> 00:12:38.720
"Quick to Strasburg I fly,
Meyer's isatin I must try."
00:12:47.640 --> 00:12:52.640
For a year, the isatin he tests,
With Fittig, alas, it's useless.
00:12:59.680 --> 00:13:04.320
At the Elberfeld dyestuff plant,
He becomes scientific consultant.
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:11.040
Because Dornseif is busy too,
And forgets to dump dye residue,
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:23.520
Laziness and genius do rally,
To yield benzopurpurine 4B.
00:13:40.280 --> 00:13:45.000
Then he finds benzoazurine.
They say he saw it in a dream.
00:14:20.920 --> 00:14:26.800
With so many great dyes,
He sends bankruptcy into the skies.

Dr CARL DUISBERG

He talks and talks, hours fly by.
"Carl has won!" is the reply.
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.840
Like a housewife who can bear no waste,
00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:11.920
Carl Duisberg makes from dyestuff waste,
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:13.240
phenacetin.

Now the department produces dyes
And drugs likewise.
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:22.600
And while Carl discovers the blue,
00:17:22.760 --> 00:17:25.400
He also succumbs to love so true.

Our young couple we find
To marry very much inclined.
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.120
UNTIL DEATH DO US PART
00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:23.200
Their marriage is blessed
As the following will suggest.
00:18:49.520 --> 00:18:54.240
The children don't tarry
He becomes a father so merry.
00:18:56.320 --> 00:19:00.800
He also has much love to convey
To his fifth child, the factory.

A day has only 24 hours.
A week lasts only 6 days.

Carl finds enough time always.
He's the one striking the hours.

Oh, he enjoys cold duck.
