Arnold Gottfried Benser
Arnold Gottfried Benser (* 1700 in Bielefeld ; † September 10, 1760 in Lübeck ) was a German merchant and councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
Life
Arnold Gottfried Benser was the son of councilor Gottfried Benser in Bielefeld. In 1716 he was sent to his uncle, the silk merchant Johann Hermann Benser († 1730), in Lübeck to do a commercial apprenticeship. As a businessman, he became a member of the Novgorod Drivers' Corporation in Lübeck and traveled to Denmark and Pomerania. In a list of Lübeck companies from 1743, it is said about Benser that he trades in various sorts of material and specialty goods in bulk , and also has a good Amidams factory and wine warehouse on Braun-Straße .
Initially active as a volunteer in the civic colleges, he was elected to the Lübeck council in 1742 . In 1754 he was the managing director of the Füchtingshof Foundation .
The first planting of today's Travemünder Allee as Linden-Allee goes back to a Senate decree of November 3, 1758, with which Benser, as councilor and construction yard master, received the approval for the start of the work on his corresponding submission.
family
In 1725 Benser married Magdalena Katharina Benser, a daughter of his uncle. Councilor Ludwig Philipp Roeck was his brother-in-law and had been married to Maria Elisabeth Benser since 1722. The daughter of the same name, Magdalena Catharina Benser, married his son, the merchant Ludwig Philipp Roeck, in 1754 and became the mother of Hermann Friedrich Roeck .
