Alois Dessauer
Alois Dessauer (born as Aron Baruch Dessauer , born February 21, 1763 in Gochsheim (Kraichtal) , † April 11, 1850 in Aschaffenburg ) was a former Electoral Mainz court banker and military admodiator (supplier to the army) as well as a paper manufacturer.
Life
He was born as Aron Baruch , son of the Jewish community leader Baruch Dessauer († March 17, 1772 Gochsheim / Baden) and Mindel Seligmann († February 20, 1795 Gochsheim / Baden), daughter of Nathan Seligmann from Gochsheim / Baden. He came to Königshofen ob der Tauber (Baden) in 1792 and married Behlasina (Belusina, Beile) David (* June 25, 1775 Königshofen † June 11, 1819 Aschaffenburg), daughter of Joseph David († 1824), citizen and trader in Königshofen , and Henriette Sontheim. His grandfather was Jacob David, called "the rich" († 1783), a citizen of Königshofen.
In 1798 the trader and former Churmainzische court banker and military promoter came to Aschaffenburg with his family. Dessauer was said to have excellent relations with the Prince-Primate Karl Theodor von Dalberg ; however, the social rise did not begin until after his baptism in 1805. On August 23, 1805 Aron Baruch, his wife Behlasina and their 3 children were baptized in the parish church of St. Agatha in Aschaffenburg. When adopting a baptismal name, the first letter was often retained, so Aron became: Alois, his wife was named Anna Elisabeth and the children were named Joseph, Georg and Karl Friedrich. The fourth child, Franz Johann, was baptized a Catholic at birth.
On September 5, 1805 he paid 15 guilders and 34 Kreuzer citizens' collection money and received the citizenship of Aschaffenburg on the same day. Dessauer was now active in a wide variety of industries, such as B. as a paper dealer, stone tablet and fine ink manufacturer and founded the Aschaffenburg colored paper factory in 1810 . He enjoyed a high reputation among the citizens and was already an honorary member of the shooting society in 1805 and a councilor in 1826.
