biography

Vangerow came from an old Pomeranian noble family. He was the eldest son of the publisher Leopold von Vangerow (1831–1881) and the Herford landowner's daughter Anna Engelbrecht (1834–1904).

Vangerow first completed an apprenticeship as a publishing bookseller. After his military service, which he left as a royal Prussian major in the Landwehr , he returned to Bremerhaven in 1887 and was co-editor of the Provinzial-Zeitung (since 1926 Wesermünder Latest News ), to which since 1901 the bourgeois-free-thinking Nordsee-Zeitung belonged. In 1905 he founded the Provinzial-Zeitung GmbH . In 1910 he stopped working as a publisher and concentrated on his printing business.

Vangerow married Frieda Mombeer on May 7, 1895 in Berlin (born March 31, 1870 in Bergen on Rügen ; † July 11, 1930 in Bremerhaven). The couple had no children.
