Alfred Nobel
Alfred Bernhard Nobel (/noʊˈbɛl/ noh-BEL; Swedish: [ˈǎlfrɛd
nʊˈbɛlː] ; 21 October 1833 – 10 December 1896) was a Alfred Nobel
Swedish chemist, inventor, engineer and businessman. He is
known for inventing dynamite as well as having bequeathed his
fortune to establish the Nobel Prizes.[1] He also made several
other important contributions to science, holding 355 patents
during his life.

Born into the prominent Nobel family in Stockholm, Nobel

displayed an early aptitude for science and learning, particularly
in chemistry and languages; he became fluent in six languages
and filed his first patent at the age of 24. He embarked on many
business ventures with his family, most notably owning the
company Bofors, which was an iron and steel producer that he
had developed into a major manufacturer of cannons and other
armaments. Nobel's most famous invention, dynamite, was an

explosive using nitroglycerin that was patented in 1867. He
further invented gelignite in 1875 and ballistite in 1887. Born Alfred Bernhard Nobel

inventor and engineer, and Andriette Nobel (née Ahlsell 1805–
1889).[5][6] The couple married in 1827 and had eight children.
The family was impoverished and only Alfred and his three
brothers survived beyond childhood.[5] Through his father, Alfred Nobel was a descendant of the Swedish

scientist Olaus Rudbeck (1630–1702).[7]

Nobel's father was an alumnus of
Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and was an engineer and
inventor who built bridges and buildings and experimented with different
ways of blasting rocks. He encouraged and taught Nobel from a young
age.[6]

Following various business failures caused by the loss of some barges of

building material, Immanuel Nobel was forced into bankruptcy, Nobel's
father moved to Saint Petersburg, then part of the Russian Empire, and
grew successful there as a manufacturer of machine tools and
explosives.[8] He invented the veneer lathe, which made possible the
production of modern plywood,[9] and started work on the naval mine.[10]
In 1842, the family joined him in the city.[11] Now prosperous, his parents
were able to send Nobel to private tutors, and the boy excelled in his
studies, particularly in chemistry and languages, achieving fluency in
The birthplace of Alfred Nobel at
English, French, German, and Russian.[5] For 18 months, from 1841 to Norrlandsgatan in Stockholm
1842, Nobel attended the Jacobs Apologistic School in Stockholm, his only
schooling; he never attended university.[12][13]

Nobel gained proficiency in Swedish, French, Russian, English, German,

and Italian. He also developed sufficient literary skill to write poetry in
English. His Nemesis is a prose tragedy in four acts about the Italian
noblewoman Beatrice Cenci. It was printed while he was dying, but the
entire stock was destroyed immediately after his death except for three
copies, being regarded as scandalous and blasphemous. It was published
in Sweden in 2003 and has been translated into Slovenian, French, Italian,
and Spanish.[14]

Scientific career
As a young man, Nobel studied with chemist Nikolai Zinin; then, in 1850,
went to Paris to further the work. There he met Ascanio Sobrero, who had
synthesized nitroglycerin three years before. Sobrero strongly opposed the

use of nitroglycerin because it was unpredictable, exploding when

subjected to variable heat or pressure. But Nobel became interested in
finding a way to control and use nitroglycerin as a commercially usable
explosive; it had much more power than gunpowder. In 1851 at age 18, he went to the United States for one
year to study,[15] working for a short period under Swedish-American inventor John Ericsson, who designed
the American Civil War ironclad, USS Monitor. Nobel filed his first patent, an English patent for a gas meter,
in 1857, while his first Swedish patent, which he received in 1863, was on "ways to prepare
gunpowder".[16][17][5] The family factory produced armaments for the Crimean War (1853–1856), but had
difficulty switching back to regular domestic production when the fighting ended and they filed for
bankruptcy.[5] In 1859, Nobel's father left his factory in the care of the second son, Ludvig Nobel (1831–1888),
who greatly improved the business. Nobel and his parents returned to Sweden from Russia and Nobel devoted
himself to the study of explosives, and especially to the safe manufacture and use of nitroglycerin. Nobel
invented a detonator in 1863, and in 1865 designed the blasting cap.[5]

On 3 September 1864, a shed used for preparation of nitroglycerin exploded at the factory in Heleneborg,
Stockholm, Sweden, killing five people, including Nobel's younger brother Emil.[18] He was then deprived of
his license to produce explosives.[19] Fazed by the accident, Nobel founded the company Nitroglycerin AB in

3/6/25, 8:04 PM Alfred Nobel - Wikipedia

Vinterviken so that he could continue to work in a more isolated area.[20]

Nobel invented dynamite in 1867, a substance easier and safer to handle
than the more unstable nitroglycerin. Dynamite was patented in the US
and the UK and was used extensively in mining and the building of
transport networks internationally.[5] In 1875, Nobel invented gelignite,
more stable and powerful than dynamite, and in 1887, patented ballistite,
a predecessor of cordite.[5]

Nobel was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in

1884, the same institution that would later select laureates for two of the
Nobel prizes, and he received an honorary doctorate from Uppsala
University in 1893. Nobel's brothers Ludvig and Robert founded the oil
company Branobel and became hugely rich in their own right. Nobel
invested in these and amassed great wealth through the development of
these new oil regions. It operated mainly in Baku, Azerbaijan, but also in
Portrait of Nobel by Gösta Florman

(1831–1900)
internationally, and by his death, his business had established more than
90 armaments factories, despite his apparently pacifist character.[5][21]

Inventions
Nobel found that when nitroglycerin was incorporated in an absorbent inert substance like kieselguhr
(diatomaceous earth) it became safer and more convenient to handle, and this mixture he patented in 1867 as
"dynamite".[5] Nobel demonstrated his explosive for the first time that year, at a quarry in Redhill, Surrey,
England. In order to help reestablish his name and improve the image of his business from the earlier
controversies associated with dangerous explosives, Nobel had also considered naming the highly powerful
substance "Nobel's Safety Powder", which is the text used in his patent, but settled with Dynamite instead,
referring to the Greek word for "power" (δύναµις).[22][5][23]

Nobel later combined nitroglycerin with various nitrocellulose compounds, similar to collodion, but settled on
a more efficient recipe combining another nitrate explosive, and obtained a transparent, jelly-like substance,
which was a more powerful explosive than dynamite. Gelignite, or blasting gelatin, as it was named, was
patented in 1876; and was followed by a host of similar combinations, modified by the addition of potassium
nitrate and various other substances.[5] Gelignite was more stable, powerful, transportable and conveniently
formed to fit into bored holes, like those used in drilling and mining, than the previously used compounds. It
was adopted as the standard technology for mining in the "Age of Engineering", bringing Nobel a great
amount of financial success, though at a cost to his health. An offshoot of this research resulted in Nobel's
invention of ballistite, the precursor of many modern smokeless powder explosives and still used as a rocket
propellant.[24]

Nobel Prize
There is a well known story about the origin of the Nobel Prize, although historians have been unable to verify
it and some dismiss the story as a myth.[25] In 1888, the death of his brother Ludvig supposedly caused
several newspapers to publish obituaries of Alfred in error. One French newspaper condemned him for his
invention of military explosives—in many versions of the story, dynamite is quoted, although this was mainly
used for civilian applications—and this is said to have brought about his decision to leave a better legacy after
his death.[5] The obituary stated, Le marchand de la mort est mort ("The merchant of death is dead"),[5] and
went on to say, "Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before,
died yesterday."[26] Nobel read the obituary and was appalled at the idea that he would be remembered in this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Nobel 3/11
3/6/25, 8:04 PM Alfred Nobel - Wikipedia

way. His decision to posthumously donate the majority of his wealth to

found the Nobel Prize has been credited to him wanting to leave behind a
better legacy.[27][5] However, it has been questioned whether or not the
obituary in question actually existed.[27]

On 27 November 1895, at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris, Nobel

signed his last will and testament and set aside the bulk of his estate to
establish the Nobel Prizes, to be awarded annually without distinction of
nationality.[5][28][29] After taxes and bequests to individuals, Nobel's will
allocated 94% of his total assets, 31,225,000 Swedish kronor, to establish
the five Nobel Prizes.[30][31] By 2022, the foundation had approximately 6
billion Swedish Kronor of invested capital.[32] Front side of one of the Nobel Prize
medals
The first three of these prizes are awarded for eminence in physical
science, in chemistry and in medical science or physiology; the fourth is
for literary work "in an ideal direction" and the fifth prize is to be given to the person or society that renders
the greatest service to the cause of international fraternity, in the suppression or reduction of standing armies,
or in the establishment or furtherance of peace congresses.[5]

The formulation for the literary prize being given for a work "in an ideal direction" (i idealisk riktning in
Swedish), is cryptic and has caused much confusion. For many years, the Swedish Academy interpreted
"ideal" as "idealistic" (idealistisk) and used it as a reason not to give the prize to important but less romantic
authors, such as Henrik Ibsen and Leo Tolstoy. This interpretation has since been revised, and the prize has
been awarded to, for example, Dario Fo and José Saramago, who do not belong to the camp of literary
idealism.[33]

There was room for interpretation by the bodies he had named for deciding on the physical sciences and
chemistry prizes, given that he had not consulted them before making the will. In his one-page testament, he
stipulated that the money go to discoveries or inventions in the physical sciences and to discoveries or
improvements in chemistry. He had opened the door to technological awards, but had not left instructions on
how to deal with the distinction between science and technology. Since the deciding bodies he had chosen
were more concerned with the former, the prizes went to scientists more often than engineers, technicians or
other inventors.[34]

Sweden's central bank Sveriges Riksbank celebrated its 300th anniversary in 1968 by donating a large sum of
money to the Nobel Foundation to be used to set up a sixth prize in the field of economics in honor of Alfred
Nobel. In 2001, Alfred Nobel's great-great-nephew, Peter Nobel (born 1931), asked the Bank of Sweden to
differentiate its award to economists given "in Alfred Nobel's memory" from the five other awards. This
request added to the controversy over whether the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of
Alfred Nobel is actually a legitimate "Nobel Prize".[35][36]

Health issues and death

In his letters to his mistress, Hess, Nobel described constant pain, debilitating migraines, and "paralyzing"
fatigue, leading some to believe that he suffered from fibromyalgia. However, his concerns at the time were
dismissed as hypochondria, leading to further depression.[37]

By 1895, Nobel had developed angina pectoris.[5]

On 27 November 1895, he finalized his will and testament,[38][28] leaving most of his wealth in trust,
unbeknownst to his family, to fund the Nobel Prize awards.[5][39][40]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Nobel 4/11
3/6/25, 8:04 PM Alfred Nobel - Wikipedia

On 10 December 1896, he suffered a stroke/intracerebral hemorrhage and

was first partially paralyzed and then died, aged 63.[38] He is buried in
Norra begravningsplatsen in Stockholm.[41]

Based on his experimentation with explosives, his strenuous work habit,

and the decline in his health at the end of the 1870s, some hypothesize
that nitroglycerine poisoning was a contributing factor to his death.[42]

Personal life

Religion
Nobel was Lutheran and, during his years living in Paris, he regularly
attended the Church of Sweden Abroad led by pastor Nathan Söderblom
who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1930.[43] He was an agnostic in
youth and became an atheist later in life, though he still donated Alfred Nobel's death mask, at
Björkborn Manor, Nobel's residence
generously to the Church.[13][44][7][45]
in Karlskoga, Sweden

Romantic relationships and personality

Nobel remained a solitary character, given to periods of depression.[5] He never married,[6] although his
biographers note that he had at least three loves. His first love was in Russia with a girl named Alexandra who
rejected his marriage proposal.[45]

In 1876, Austro-Bohemian Countess Bertha von Suttner became his secretary, but she left him after a brief
stay to marry her previous lover Baron Arthur Gundaccar von Suttner. Her contact with Nobel was brief, yet
she corresponded with him until his death in 1896, and probably influenced his decision to include the Nobel
Peace Prize in his will.[46] She was awarded the 1905 Nobel Peace prize "for her sincere peace activities".[47]

Nobel's longest-lasting romance was an 18-year relationship with Sofija Hess from Celje whom he met in 1876
in Baden bei Wien, where she worked as an employee in a flower shop that catered to wealthy clientele. The
extent of their relationship was revealed by a collection of 221 letters sent by Nobel to Hess over 15 years. At
the time that they met, Nobel was 43 years old while Hess was 26. Their relationship, which was not merely
platonic, ended when she became pregnant from another man, although Nobel continued to support her
financially until Hess married her child's father to avoid being ostracized as a whore. Hess was a Jewish
Christian and the letters include remarks by Nobel characterized as antisemitism. Nobel also displayed
characteristics of chauvinism in the letters writing to Hess: "You neither work, nor write, nor read, nor think"
and guilted her, writing "I have for years now sacrificed out of purely noble motives my time, my duties, my
intellectual life, my reputation".[48][44][49][50][51]

Residences
Nobel traveled for much of his business life, maintaining companies in Europe and America. From 1865 to
1873, Nobel lived in Krümmel (now in the municipality of Geesthacht, near Hamburg). From 1873 to 1891, he
lived in a house in the Avenue Malakoff in Paris.[52]

In 1891, after being accused of high treason against France for selling Ballistite to Italy, he moved from Paris
to Sanremo, Italy, acquiring Villa Nobel, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, where he died in 1896.[53][54]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Nobel 5/11

In 1894, when he acquired Bofors-Gullspång, the Björkborn Manor was

included, where he stayed during the summers. It is now a museum.[55][56]

Monument to Alfred Nobel

The Monument to Alfred Nobel (Russian: Памятник Альфреду Нобелю,

Björkborn Manor, in Karlskoga, was Nevka River on Petrogradskaya Embankment, the street where Nobel's

anniversary of the first Nobel Prize presentation. Diplomat Thomas
Bertelman and Professor Arkady Melua were initiators of the creation of
the monument in 1989 and they provided funds for the establishment of the monument. The abstract metal
sculpture was designed by local artists Sergey Alipov and Pavel Shevchenko, and appears to be an explosion or
branches of a tree.[58]

Criticism
Criticism of Nobel focuses on his leading role in weapons manufacturing and sales. Some people question his
motives in creating his prizes, suggesting they are intended to improve his reputation.[59][60]

Antisemitism
Nobel has also been criticized for displays of antisemitism.[44][48] In his letters to Hess, he wrote "In my
experience, [Jews] never do anything out of good will. They act merely out of selfishness or a desire to show
off .... among selfish and inconsiderate people they are the most selfish and inconsiderate... all others exist to
be fleeced."[49]
