Life

Asmus Anthony worked at the beginning of the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg as the successor to René Dahuron in the service of the sovereign Georg Ludwig . As the clerk he laid in 1700 from Easter until Michaelis garden of Schloss Ahlden - and has been for this six-month activity with 69 dollars remunerated content.

From 1700, at the latest from 1701 or 1702, Asmus Anthony held the position of board member for the French Garden in the former royal seat of Celle - and according to the bills received a salary of 527 thalers, of which 227 thalers had to be paid for his three journeymen .

In 1704 and 1705 Anthony traveled several times to Bruchhausen , where his servants laid out a new avenue from linden trees within 5 weeks . After the death of Duke Georg Wilhelm , Anthony entered the service of Elector Georg Ludwig , but stayed in Celle.

From Celle, Asmus Anthony supervised the orangery in the Great Garden of Herrenhausen near Hanover from 1707 to 1710, in which the bitter orange gardener Anton Spanuth worked at the time . For a time Anthony also supervised the kitchen garden near Linden . In roughly the same period of time from 1709 to 1711 in Celle, Anthony received support from the "Supernumerair horticulturist " Heinrich Jacob Löpentin .

As evidenced by a remark in the church book of the town church St. Marien , Asmus Anthony died in Celle and was buried there.
