August von Bibra (1808-1894)
Ludwig Karl Georg Friedrich August Freiherr von Bibra (born January 30, 1808 in Romrod , Upper Hesse , † 1894 in Germany ) was the royal Wied'scher chamberlain and from 1851 managing director of the " Mainzer Adelsverein ".
family
He was the son of Christian Ernst Heinrich Freiherr von Bibra and Luise Charlotte Henriette Freiin Riedesel and brother of Bertold von Bibra .
Life
Bibra was a member of the "Mainzer Adelsverein", but was not involved in active business until 1847. Only when debts and mismanagement became apparent, and the noble members feared for their reputation and, above all, for their money, did a man well versed in commercial issues finally have to take over the task from 1847 - August Freiherr von Bibra.
In 1851, when Hermann Fürst zu Wied became president of the aristocratic association, Bibra took over the entire management of the now inactive association. For more than 10 years he fought to repay the club's debts and tried to revive the emigration program. But this did not succeed and the entire process was not completed until 1864.
