Theodor Koch (13 May 1905 – 1976)
[1] was a
German engineer and weapons manufacturer, born in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, Germany. As a young man, Koch apprenticed as a precision mechanic. After completing his apprenticeship he attended an engineering school in Esslingen. In 1924 he started work for
Mauser in Oberndorf as an engineer and stayed with them until 1931. After the fall of Germany at the end of
World War II the Mauser factory was dismantled. Koch,
Edmund Heckler and
Alex Seidel saved what they could and used it to found
Heckler & Koch.
