Carl Englerth (born September 2, 1756 in Jülich ; † August 25, 1814 in Eschweiler ) was the first Eschweiler mayor from 1800 to 1814, when Eschweiler was the French Mairie and capital of the canton of Eschweiler .

In 1786, as a captain stationed in Jülich, he married the seventeen-year-old Christine Wältgens . After retiring from military service, the family moved to Eschweiler, where the Wältgens family lived and worked and where he was appointed in 1794 as an alderman of the “Canton d'Eschweiler” and in 1800 as mayor of the “Mairie d'Eschweiler” “Was appointed what he remained until his death.

In 1797, together with the heirs of his father-in-law Johann Peter Wältgens, he acquired the second half of the half of the concessions they held in Eschweiler Kohlberg . In December 1800 he and Ferdinand Wältgens, son of Johann Peter Wältgens, were granted an initially provisional mine operating license for the inland works and the Birkengang mine in Eschweiler , which was extended in September 1802 and finalized in November 1805 by a decree by Napoléon Bonaparte . As early as 1798 they had applied for a license to control the entire Eschweiler Kohlberg, including the gentlemen's art, including the necessary acquisition of new machines in full self-administration for a period of 100 years. The mining engineer Johann Heinrich Graeser took over the overall management of the mine . The corresponding concession documents and mining permits were issued on December 24, 1805, provided for a period of validity of 50 years and, according to French mining law, related to vertical plains running along the marrow divisions up to the eternal depth of the entire Eschweiler Kohlberg.

Carl Englerth died in 1814 on Gut Blankenberg south of Eschweiler in Stolberg. His wife Christine continued his efforts to acquire a mine in the Inderevier . In 1979 the street in Eschweiler was named after him "Englerthsgärten".
