Eduardo de Habich (1835-1909) was born Edward Jan Habich from a family of German
origin. He studied at the St. Petersburg Artillery College, fought in the
Crimean War and contributed to the building of the Kiev arsenal. Habich
graduated at the Paris "École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées" (today, "École
des Ponts ParisTech"), the world's oldest civil engineering school (est. 1747).
Back to Poland, he fought in the 1863 uprising, leading a battalion with his
brother Gustaw. After the Russian victory, Edward went back to Paris where he
served until 1868 as the director of the Polish Superior School established by
Polish emigrants. Hired in 1869 by the Peruvian government, Habich revamped the
La Oroya railways and was member of the commission that revised the statutes of
the Corps of Engineers. President Manuel Prado commissioned him in 1870 to
organise a new school of engineering; Habich brought back from Europe several
emigrated Polish engineers (Folkierski, Babiñski, Kluger, Wakulski) and
established in 1876 the forerunner of UNI. Habich founded the Peruvian
Geographical Society and presided the Peruvian Association of Engineers. He
founded the scientific review "Anales de construcciones civiles y de minas del
Perú"
