By decree of Peter I of February 9, 1702, the Ore mining order organized an expedition to the Olonets district to search for minerals and places for the construction of plants under the leadership of Ivan Fedorovich Patrushev . Participated in this expedition and master Zimmerman. As a result, several plants were built, including the Petrovsky Plant on the banks of the Lososinki River (now the city of Petrozavodsk ). In 1706, under the leadership of Zimmerman, the construction of the Konchezersk smelter in the village of Konchezero began . His assistants were the masters Gavrien Schonfinger and Jeremiah Blyaschmit, also from Saxony [1] [2] .
In September 1713, the management of the Olonets factories was entrusted to Georg Wilhelm de Gennin . In the summer of 1722, de Gennin was transferred to the Urals for the construction of factories, taking with him several specialists, among whom was the master Zimmerman [1] . In 1723-1724, together with Captain Berglin, Zimmerman supervised the construction of the Egoshikhinsky smelter, on the basis of which the city of Perm was formed [3] .
A few years later Zimmerman returned to the Olonets factories and in the summer of 1730 he was appointed deputy plant manager. He was instructed to prepare the Konchezersky plant for start-up after downtime. In 1735, Zimmerman headed the Olonets factories. [one]
In the 1720 - 1730s , Zimmerman repeatedly filed a letter of resignation by age. However, Peter I highly appreciated his professional activities and, instead of resigning, raised his salary [2] .
Wolf Martin Zimmerman died at the Konchezersky plant in February 1739 [1] .
