Andreas Kommerell (fragment of a painting, around 1770)

Andreas Kommerell (born June 8, 1741 in Nellingsheim near Rottenburg , † May 6, 1824 in Stuttgart ) was an innkeeper in Tübingen, who also held the post of Reich post holder. He was also a long-term relative or court relative .

Life

Andreas Kommerell was the fifth child of the butcher and messenger from Ulm, Johann Adam Kommerell (1711–1771) and his wife, Anna geb. Kientzlin (1703–1776), a daughter of the Nellingsheimer Schultheiss , who was first married to Johann Jakob Hörmann, a farmer in Nellingsheim. Kommerell had six siblings, only three of whom survived childhood.

On September 17, 1765, Andreas Kommerell married Maria Barbara Weimer (born August 6, 1747), a daughter of the Tübingen monastery butcher and butcher's guild master Johann Jakob Weimer. During the 26 years (between 1767 and 1793) she gave birth to fifteen children. Andreas Kommerell already dealt with meat processing as a child and learned the trade from his father. However, he developed into an innkeeper - initially he ran the restaurant "Zum Ochsen". Since his father was already working in the postal service on the side, he successfully applied for a license to become an imperial post holder and ran the post office in Tübingen. This was a continuation and expansion of his father's activity. At the beginning of the 1790s he handed this restaurant over to his son Johann Andreas Kommerell and took over the restaurant "Zur golden Traube" in front of the Lustnauer Tor. Kommerell was considered a very clever man and at the age of 30 - in 1771 - he was elected a councilor. In 1788 he was promoted to court relative and held this office until 1817, which means he was a member of the magistrate for 46 years, although without neglecting his actual job as an innkeeper.

At the beginning of the 1790s he took the two daughters of his younger widowed friend Johann Friedrich Kierecker Christiane Hedwig Johanna and Wilhelmine Heinrike into his household . When his wife died of an abdominal infection on October 3, 1801, he was left alone with eleven surviving children. He no longer married and continued to live in Tübingen, but died during a stay with his daughter Jakobine Agathe in Stuttgart of "stick and blow flow", i.e. H. Breathing problems as a result of the stroke at the age of just under 83. He was buried on May 9th. The funeral speech was held by the deacon Mag. Gerock.
