As a brilliant inventor and entrepreneur of vision in the second half of the 19th century, Werner von Siemens (1816-1892) contributed substantially not only to the new discipline of electrical engineering, but also to the development of the electrical industry.
In 1866 Werner von Siemens made what was probably his most important contribution to electrical engineering with his discovery of the dynamoelectric principle, thus paving the way for the use of electricity as a source of energy.

 siemens
The conductance of a conductor in siemens is the reciprocal of its resistance in ohms; the siemens was formerly known as the mho or reciprocal ohm.
In the 19th century, the Siemens’ unit or Siemens’ mercury unit was a unit of electrical resistance introduced in 1860 by Werner von Siemens himself.
The siemens unit was one of two units of resistance that competed for acceptance (the other being the B.A. unit of resistance) until the definition of the ohm at the First International Electrical Congress (Paris, 1881), after which the siemens’ unit withered.
