He was the son of Arnold von Siemens and wife Ellen von Helmholtz and paternal grandson of Ernst Werner von Siemens and first wife Mathilde Duman. He died at the age of 101.

Famous quotes containing the word von:

    One is never satisfied with a portrait of persons whom one knows. That is why I have always pitied portraitists. One demands so seldom of others the impossible, but demands just that of the portraitists.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
