Carl Friedrich Hollmann
August Carl Friedrich Hollmann (born December 31, 1776 in Uetz-Paaren ; † May 27, 1858 in Berlin ) was a German businessman, local politician and patron.
Live and act
Carl Friedrich Hollmann was the son of a poor country preacher. In Berlin he trained in a cloth business from 1790 and, with the help of a wealthy uncle, became a wealthy cloth and silk dealer. From 1801 his shop was at Contrescarpe 8 (today Münzstraße). He put his fortune, amounting to hundreds of thousands, entirely into charitable institutions, since his marriage to Wilhelmine Amalie geb. Zander (1787–1834) was childless.
From 1820 to 1848 he was a member of the Berlin magistrate and in 1848 received the honorary title of city elder. In 1825 he was the founder of the association for the education of morally neglected children . In 1829 he founded the Wilhelminen Amalien Foundation , for which the first monastery house was built in the years 1837 to 1839 in Linienstraße 163-165. The extensions at Koppenplatz 11 were made in the years 1850 to 1875. The task of the foundation was to enable widows and women from the upper and middle class to enjoy a peaceful retirement. In 1839 Hollmann donated a building at Husarenstrasse 15 to the Luisenstift , an institution for neglected and poor children. The association for the welfare of adult blind people was also founded in 1856 through his participation and received a house he had acquired at Wilhelmstrasse 4.
Hollmann had established the Wilhelminen Amalien Foundation as the universal heir of his fortune in his will. He was buried in Cemetery III of the Jerusalem and New Community in front of Hallesches Tor on Mehringdamm, Dept. 3 / 1-15-4 / 5 (honorary grave).
