Anna Tuckermann

Anna Tuckermann , b. Hildebrand or Hildebrandt (born November 30, 1595 in Celle ; † June 30, 1678 in Braunschweig ) was a German orphanage donor . The Tuckermann orphanage in Braunschweig, which she founded in 1677, existed until 1935.

Life

Anna Hildebrandt was born in Celle in 1595 as the daughter of Celle's Chancellor Johannes Hildebrandt. On June 2, 1637, she married the 56-year-old Braunschweig preacher and consistorial president Peter Tuckermann . His first wife Anna, b. Matthias, with whom he had five children, died on January 20, 1635. Peter Tuckermann died in May 1651. Like his wife Anna in 1678, he was buried in the Brunswick Katharinenkirche , where an epitaph with both names has been preserved.

Since their marriage had remained childless, Anna Tuckermann used most of her considerable fortune to set up a foundation for the education of poor girls. According to Anna Tuckermann's orders of March 21, 1677, orphans of at least four years of age whose descent was confirmed by respectable parents and who had a fortune of less than 50 Mariengulden were to be accepted . In the St. Annen orphanage , also known as Tuckermann's orphanage , 20 girls were raised up to the age of 14. Anna Tuckermann died in June 1678 at the age of 82 in Braunschweig. The orphanage was consecrated on January 3, 1681 and handed over to its intended use. The foundation was headed by a supervisory body consisting of a mayor, the senior minister of the clergy and a legally trained representative. This body appointed a provisional and a superior . The orphanage was initially located at Aegidienkirchhof before it moved to Schützenstraße in 1704 and in 1867 to Pflegehausstraße (Assekuranz number 3476), today's Holwedestraße . The facility did not reach its maximum occupancy in the early 19th century, which was probably due to financial reasons. In 1809 there were 14 children living in the orphanage. In 1935, the large orphanage BMV took over the remaining assets of the St. Annen orphanage by a resolution of the Braunschweig Ministry of the Interior , completing the liquidation process that had been ongoing since 1934.

In Braunschweig, Tuckermannstrasse was named after Anna Tuckermann.
