from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Eduard Abendroth (born September 9, 1804 in Hamburg , † January 25, 1885 in Wandsbek ) was a Hamburg merchant and member of the Hamburg parliament in the 19th century.

Life and work

Carl Eduard Abendroth came from a Hamburg legal family. His father Amandus Augustus Abendroth was a senator and Hamburg mayor . He was married to Bertha von Hildebrandt (February 5, 1816 in Hamburg, † January 27, 1895 in Hamburg). From this marriage there were eight children (five girls and three boys).

Abendroth operated the grain steam mill on the Kehrwieder-Wall and lived in the Fuhlentwiete in the Neustadt . In 1856 he spoke in a memorandum against Lindley's plans to drain the Hammerbrookes , because he considered them to be inadequate. In addition to his work as a grain merchant, he was a member of the administration of the General Pension Fund from 1862 to 1873 and director of the same from 1867 to 1873.

Politics and social engagement

From 1859 to 1871 Abendroth belonged to the Hamburg citizenship. Until 1865 he was elected to the citizenry in the so-called "general elections" and later by the "landowner elections".

Abendroth held many civil and church honorary posts until the end of his life. Among other things, he was a major in the general staff of the civil military (1835 to 1839) and adjutant (1838 to 1841). At church offices he took over the membership of the Beede (1852/1853) and the office of inspector of the St. Nikolai Free School (1853). In the parish of St. Nikolai he was the custodian administrator (1860) and head (1870 to 1879).

In civil life, Abendroth was a member of the prison college (1838 to 1846), the citizens' military commission (1842 to 1844) and the interim armament commission (1844/1845). He took over the office of commissioner of the general hospital (1846 to 1851) and was repeatedly a member of the health council and the large college of the poor. In the latter capacity, on April 4, 1846, he published the “Consideration on the Current Conditions of the Workhouse and Poor House ”, in which he uncovered considerable shortcomings in this urban institution.
