August Dehne (pastry chef)
August Dehne (born January 17, 1796 , † October 12, 1875 in Hütteldorf , today Dehnegasse 10, Vienna 14) was an Austrian confectioner in Vienna.
Life
His father, the German confectioner Ludwig Dehne († May 8, 1799), opened the "kk Hofzuckerbäckerei" on Michaelerplatz in the 1st district of Vienna . After his death in 1799, his widow Antonia married the confectioner Gottlieb Wohlfahrt. In 1813 they bought the house at Michaelerplatz 14. Despite numerous innovations such as Frozen, the company's finances could not be restructured. After the death of Gottlieb Wohlfahrt in 1826, the widow and her son from their first marriage, August Dehne, managed to regain economic growth.
After his mother's death in 1832, the company was continued by August Dehne, who made a considerable fortune. He acquired the Palais Dietrichstein in Dorotheergasse and large estates in Hütteldorf. The Dehnepark and Dehnegasse in Vienna's 14th district still bear witness to this today.
Dehne was a member of the Imperial and Royal Army from 1812 to 1815 and took part as a cadet sergeant under Vinzenz Ferrerius von Bianchi (1768–1855) in the campaigns in Italy and in southern France (see: Wars of Liberation ), which earned him the so-called cannon cross. During the revolution of 1848 he was captain of a company guard against the rebels.
Since August Dehne's son embarked on a different career as a lawyer, Dehne sold the pastry shop and all its privileges in 1857 to his oldest journeyman, Christoph Demel (1805–1883). The business was moved to the Kohlmarkt and continued there by the sons Josef and Karl, since then it has been called Christoph Demel's sons .
August Dehne was married to Anna Felbermayer.
