'''Hermann Franz Joseph Hubertus Maria Anschütz-Kaempfe''' (3 October 1872 &ndash; 6 May 1931) was a German [[art historian]] and inventor. He was born in [[Zweibrücken]] and died in [[Munich]].

In his quest to navigate to the [[North Pole]] by [[submarine]], he became interested in the concept of the [[gyrocompass]]. In 1905 he founded, with Friedrich Treitschke, the company Anschütz & Co (today [[Raytheon Anschütz|Anschütz]] GmbH) in Kiel, Germany. Anschütz was the first firm to manufacture [[gyroscopic]] navigation instruments, which Anschütz-Kaempfe designed. One of his staff was [[Max Schuler|Maximilian Schuler]], who made the fundamental discovery of [[Schuler tuning]].
