Jacob Benjamin Wiesner Heckerin (20 June 1763 – 12 August 1842) was a German physicist, chemist, mathematician, mineralogist and engineer born in Freiberg, Saxony, Germany. Wiesner travelled to the Americas after King Charles III of Spain requested the efforts of skilled German mineralogists and engineers. He discovered iron ores in Pacho and, by order of Antonio Nariño, searched for lead mines. Wiesner supported the Colombian independence efforts, and as a result, Simón Bolívar appointed him as the General Director of Mines at the Zipaquirá and Sesquilé salt mines. Wiesner is also known for draining the Guatavita lagoon between 1822 and 1823.
