Georg Krauß

Georg Krauß, from 1905 ''Ritter von Krauß'' (25 December 1826 – 5 November 1906) was a German industrialist and the founder of the Krauss Locomotive Works (''Locomotivfabrik Krauß & Comp.'') in Munich, Germany and Linz, Upper Austria. The spelling of the company name was later changed from ''Krauß'' to ''Krauss'', once the form of the name in capital letters on the company's emblems had become established. Provided by Wikipedia
