I hit the send button too soon ...

So, while the inventor of the original Boehm system (for flutes - it
revolutionized those instruments, too) was German, it was Hyacinthe Eleonore
Klose (1808-1880) & Auguste Buffet who collaborated and adapted the Boehm
system for the clarinet.

German invention, French application.
