Achievements
He was a professor of chemistry at the High Technological School in Karlsruhe from 1848 to 1869. Starting around 1840, he built new laboratories for research and teaching chemistry in Karlsruhe. Thanks to Veltsin, chemistry research in Karlsruhe quickly gained international fame and the city has been a center of chemical research in Germany for ten years. Veltsin is known today as one of the three organizers of the First International Congress of Chemists in Karlsruhe in 1860 (the other two organizers of the congress, Charles Adolf Würz and Friedrich August Kekule ) [2] . The decisions of the Congress, to which 140 well-known chemical scientists from around the world were invited, served as one of the prerequisites for the discovery of the Periodic Law [3] . Karl Veltsin acted as a local organizer, opened the meeting with a short welcoming speech [4] and chaired the first meeting [5] . After completing his studies in Heidelberg, he was a member of the Heidelberg Brotherhood of the Association of Kösener Monasteries [6] . Carl Velzin's successor as a professor of chemistry was Julius Lothar Meyer .
