Benno Danner (born August 4, 1857 ; † July 26, 1917 in Munich ) was a Bavarian entrepreneur , founder and co-sponsor of the Benno and Therese Danner'schen Kunstgewerbestiftung .

Life

The "Zimmergörglsölde" in 1905

Danner was the son of Josef (1832–1861) and Maria Danner, geb. Baudrexel. His grandfather was a café animal and was also called Benno Danner. After the death of her husband in 1855, his grandmother, Therese Danner, bought a farm called "Zimmergörgl sölde " in what was then Neuhausen from the Nymphenburg pharmacist Anton Gulielmo (1805–1872) for 16,714 guilders, including land for a total of 42  days (almost 14, 5 hectares ). After his father's death, his mother gave him ownership of the land.

In 1884 Benno Danner married Therese Danner (1861–1934), the brewery owner's daughter from Oberndorf near Landshut , who went down in history as a patron of the arts after his death.

Anton Pacher brewery

In 1881 Benno Danner acquired the Anton Pacher brewery on Äußere Nymphenburgerstrasse (today's Löwenbräu Brewery; house number 17), which was founded in 1879, and employed the master brewer Franz Xaver Wasserburger. He sold the brewery to him in 1888, which for a short time bore the name Wasserburger'sche Brauerei and was sold by Wasserburger to the formerly " princely Hohenlohe'schen " master brewer Johann Dirnhöfer a year later . Through simultaneous consecration with the Catholic parish church of St. Benno , it was then named St. Benno Brewery. The Bennobrauerei was taken over by Löwenbräu in 1889 for 255,000 marks .

property

The incorporation of Neuhausen into Munich in 1890 led to immensely rising property prices. Lorenz Hauser (1869–1918), previously only known locally as "Hauser Lenz" from Strohmaier-Hof, became the "millionaire builder of Munich-Neuhausen" and built, among other things, Allach Castle . Benno Danner also sold parts of his land for a profit. The not inconsiderable rest was leased, large parts to the Meiller-Kipper company . As privateers or rentiers , the couple then lived in city apartments, between 1884 and 1912 with changing places of residence in the districts of Neuhausen, Maxvorstadt , Haidhausen and Schwabing , most recently in Karlstraße 7 (3rd floor).

Foundations

Danner invested part of his fortune in a significant foundation in favor of the Royal Central Blind Institute and was appointed to the Royal Economic Council by Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria in March 1912 . The main component of the foundation was the "Zimmergörglsölde" at Winthirstraße 18. The Blind Institute also acquired the neighboring property at number 20 in 1917 and set up a home for blind women there, which still exists as such today. Zimmergörglsölde itself partially collapsed in 1930 and was demolished.

After Benno Danner's death, his childless wife taught in memory of him, mainly at the suggestion of Karl Roth Müller (1860-1930), in his Royal Bavarian court goldsmith and chief representative of the then flourishing Munich Jewelry Arts, 1920, the Benno and Therese Danner'sche Decorative Arts Foundation , which gained increasing importance in handicrafts and is now mainly known as the Danner Foundation . The original capital of the foundation comprised the considerable sum of 1.7 million marks in the form of securities , mortgages (rights to third-party real estate) and land .

Others

Danner died in 1917 after a long illness. He was buried in the Munich forest cemetery.
