Live and act

The Bordollo family, who immigrated from Italy, settled in Grünstadt with the dealer Lorenz Bordollo from 1720. He is the ancestor of the Grünstadt family branch and allegedly came from the area of Lake Como . Bernhard Bordollo was the child of Joseph Anton Bordollo and his wife Katharina geb. Nizola. He had the younger brother Wilhelm Bordollo (1779-1822), also an entrepreneur and mayor in Grünstadt.

Bernhard Bordollo married Magdalena Müller from Bensheim in 1806 . The brother Wilhelm Bordollo married Eva Katharina Franziska Didier (1786–1847) from Kaiserslautern in 1807 , daughter of the local ironworks owner Franz Didier and his wife Elisabeth born. Jacquemare. The latter was the sister of Anna Margaretha Jacquemare (1767–1833), widow of Johann Nepomuk van Recum († 1801), the founder of the Grünstadt stoneware factory.

The brothers Wilhelm and Bernhard Bordollo bought the Grünstadt stoneware factory in Unterhof Castle from her and their sons on May 3, 1812 and developed it into a major company that did not cease to exist until 1980; In 1927, Joseph Anton Bordollo (1852–1935) was the last family member to leave the company.

Like his brother Wilhelm, who died in 1822, Bernhard Bordollo also served as mayor of Grünstadt from 1825 to 1834. In this capacity, on the occasion of a visit to the Palatinate , on June 14, 1829, he received King Ludwig I of Bavaria and his wife Queen Therese at the northern entrance to Grünstadt. He gave a welcoming address and also accompanied the king to lunch in the Jakobslust restaurant . The contemporary report expressly notes that the monarch asked Bernhard Bordollo about the prosperity of his earthenware factory and that the queen asked for a cup made there as a gift. On September 24th of that year the king appointed him, along with two other people, to be a scholar of the city, with which he supervised the local schools on behalf of the state.

Bernhard Bordollo remained mayor until 1834, in 1835 he left the stoneware factory and died in 1840.
