Koechlin is celebrated in France as a foremost promoter of French industry in the nineteenth century.
He was a member of a prominent family of industrialists, engineers, and chemists — Maurice Koechlin (his son?) was one of the designers of the Eiffel tower, or so his family argues).
Koechlin was president of the Chamber of Commerce of Mulhausen, and lived since 1871 in Paris (in 1870 Mulhausen was occupied by the German army).

On vient de découvrir, dans les archives de la société Eiffel, cette étude de Maurice Koechlin qui confirme ce que l’on soupçonnait déjà : à savoir que l’oncle Maurice s’était fortement inspiré, pour le dessin de la Tour, de la morphologie de son animal fétiche, la girafe...
Elle est con-tenue dans le livre de Maurice Koechlin, La Statique graphique, où il expose ses recherches en génie civil, sous la direction de ses maîtres de l’Ecole Polytechnique de Zurich, les rois des ponts et des viaducs, des premières voies ferrées.
Maurice K., dans sa présentation technique, explique que pour construire une structure haute, plus haute que toute autre – comme ce fut le cas en 1889 pour la Tour – un technicien se heure à deux obstacles majeures : le poids des matériaux et la force du vent qui l’assaille.

Eiffel employed two equally brilliant engineers called Eurile Nougier and Maurice Koechlin who had conceived a 1000-ft tower earlier.
He employed an architect, Stephen Sauvestre, to add embellishments to the designs prepared by Nougier and Koechlin.
Eiffel submitted the design to the organisers of the Paris exhibition.

 Conception and design of the Eiffel Tower
Emile Nouguier and Maurice Koechlin, the two chief engineers in Eiffel's company, had the idea for a very tall tower in June 1884.
It was to be designed like a large pylon with four columns of lattice work girders, separated at the base and coming together at the top, and joined to each other by more metal girders at regular intervals.
Sauvestre proposed stonework pedestals to dress the legs, monumental arches to link the columns and the first level, large glass-walled halls on each level, a bulb-shaped design for the top and various other ornamental features to decorate the whole of the structure.

Emile Nouguier et Maurice Koechlin s'engagent à céder à M. Gustave Eiffel "la propriété exclusive du brevet susdit et déclarent être prêts à lui faire cession de tous leurs droits sans aucune restriction ni réserve, et à réaliser cette promesse sous la forme que G. Eiffel jugera convenable et au moment qu’il choisira.
Avec sa modestie bien connue, Maurice Koechlin ne l'aurait sans doute pas voulu, lui, qui écrit, à propos de son patron, qu'après sa décision (tardive) de s'intéresser au projet, "il fit tout le nécessaire, avec la persévérance qui le caractérisait, pour faire adopter le projet et le réaliser".

 History of the Statue of Liberty
Gustave Eiffel (designer of the Eiffel Tower) was commissioned to design the massive iron pylon and secondary skeletal framework which allows the Statue's copper skin to move independently yet stand upright.
Eiffel delegated the detailed work to his trusted structural engineer, Maurice Koechlin.
Back in America, the site, authorized in New York Harbor by Act of Congress, 1877, was selected by General William Tecumseh Sherman, who settled on Bartholdi's own choice, then known as Bedloe's Island, where there was already an early 19th century star-shaped fortification.

 [No title]
One day in 1882, Maurice Koechlin, chief of the Research Unit of the Eiffel Company, and his colleague Emile Nouguier conceived the idea of a metal tower for the 1889 World Fair which was to be held in Paris.
The first draft by Koechlin was dated June 6, 1884.
Koechlin (1856-1946) and Nouguier submitted the draft to Gustave Eiffel who said he did not want to be involved, but let his two engineers continue developing plans for such a tower.

A skating rink was installed once before, in 1969, the grand opening performed by a respectably large Siberian bear belonging to the Moscow Circus.
Eiffel may have said he was not interested, as he did to Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier, his two engineers, when they presented him with the idea of building a 300-meter-high lattice pylon.
That he later bought back their idea, developed the project, financed the largest part himself and got a contract to run this then eighth wonder of the world shows he was a shrewd businessman with a mind open to new ideas.

Some words about the Tower: The Eiffel Tower, an immense tower of exposed latticework supports made of iron, was erected for the Paris Exposition of 1889.
It was named after its builder, the French structural engineer Alexandre Gustave EIFFEL, who was assisted in the design by the engineers Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier and the architect Stephen Sauvestre.
This unprecedented work, the tallest structure in the world until the Empire State Building was built about 40 years later, had several antecedents.

This monument was designed to show off the bridge building skills of the Eiffel Company for the 1889 World’s Fair.
Emile Nouguier and Maurice Koechlin, two engineers for the Eiffel Company, came up with the concept, but architect Stephen Sauvestre was hired to improve the esthetics of the project.
Although many of Sauvestre’s suggestions were dropped from the final plans, the large arches in its base were part of his vision, and they have become part of the Eiffel Tower’s signature look.

The original design concept for E.T. came from Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nougire, two junior engineers who performed the preliminary calculations.

IMAGINE, for a moment, that you're Maurice Koechlin or Emile Nouguier, the engineers Gustave Eiffel hired in the 1880s to assemble the magnificent Parisian tower he pictured in his mind rising to heights previously unachieved by mankind.
Then imagine that almost four decades after you completed your job down to the last strut and rivet, four decades during which the world marveled at your construction genius, you're invited to tear it down and turn the component parts into a bridge, a carousel and maybe a speedboat to boot.
