Austria - 1950 - Josef Madersperger - (1768-1850) - Inventor
Josef Madersperger was born
in 1768 in Kufstein. In 1790 his father and he relocated to Vienna
because his parents' house in Tirol burned down. In 1807 he began
development of the sewing machine, spending all his savings and leisure
time. In 1814 he presented his first sewing machine, which imitated a
human hand. Madersperger did not commercialize the 1815 granted
privilege which expired after 3 years. By 1823 he was registered in the
Himmelpfortgasse 14 as "former" middle-class tailor.
After several unsuccessful attempts to improve the sewing machine, in
1839 he built a machine imitating the weaving process using the chain
stitch. Madersperger was out of money, so he could not set up a
factory. He donated the prototype to the k.k. polytechnical institute (
the predecessor of the technical university ). In 1841 he received a
bronze medal from the lower Austrias business society.
Madersperger died on 2nd of October 1850, staying with his wife for
only 3 months in Vienna's almshouse. He is buried in a common grave at
the St. Marx Cemetery. Vienna's tailors guild erected a crucifix made
of cast iron, and continues to maintain the grave.
