Anton Carl Ludwig von Tabouillot or Charles Antoine Louis de Tabouillot (born December 26, 1775 at Regret Castle near Verdun , † February 17, 1813 in Essen ) was a Franco-German landowner , Prussian captain and mayor of Essen.

Life

Tabouillot came from a French noble family Tabouillot from Regret near Verdun, whose lineage began with the French Procureur Claude de Tabouillot (* 1630). Louis de Tabouillot was the son of a landowner. He fled his parents' house to Prussia in 1793 in the turmoil of the French Revolution . Consequently founded the German family branch.

As a cadet he entered Prussian service and in 1795 became a Prussian second lieutenant . During this time he came to Essen and married Jeannette Brüning from a long-established family on September 26, 1802. He left the Prussian army in 1810 with the rank of captain and returned to his family in Essen in what was then the Grand Duchy of Berg .

After the rule of the Essen prince abbesses ended in 1802, Napoléon introduced an administration based on the French model in 1806 in the model states of the Rhine Confederation , and thus also in Essen. On May 21, 1811 Tabouillot was appointed Maire (Mayor) of Essen and officially introduced into office on May 31 of that year. He held this office until his death in 1813. During this time, the aristocratic mayor of Essen breathed a certain lifestyle into the city with theater performances and balls. He invested in ailing schools and forbade citizens to pile up their cattle manure in front of the house doors. He had the dung heaps and cesspools removed in the city.

The French government planned to succeed Johann Conrad Kopstadt , and Heinrich Arnold Huyssen actually became the successor .
