from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anthony von der Vecken (also: Anton von der Vecken and Anthony von der Beeken and Anthony von der Becken ; * 1687 in Hamburg , † 1766 in Hanover ) was a German merchant .

In 1740 Anthony von der Vecken had himself portrayed by Gottfried Boy .

Von der Vecken was married to Anna Maria Schilling (1703–1762). His daughter Margareta Christina von der Vecken married the later Royal Hanoverian court medic Georg Ludwig Hansen on November 27, 1767 in the Neustädter Hof- und Stadtkirche St. Johannis . His other daughter Catharina Louise von der Vecken (1637–1816) married the poet Johann Anton Leisewitz . Further children were Maria Elisabeth Thorbrüggen, Wilhelmine Friederike von Müller, Margarete Christine von Hansen, Karoline von Langerfeldt, Joh. Ludolf (* 1743; lost) and Lucia Dorothea von Langerfeldt.

The Hanover-based mountain shop , which was represented by the court agent Gotthilf Friedrich Winkelmann and the merchant Carl Ludwig Vezin , set up four glass defeats for their products, including at Anton von der Vecken Erben in Hanover.

Vecken's family, including "Doctor Hansen" and "Mademoiselle Vecken" or "Madame Thorbrüggen", together with numerous other personalities from the city community, donated the grave monument designed by Johann Philipp Ganz for the doctor Paul Gottlieb Werlhof in the Old St. Nikolai Cemetery .
