Carl Gustav Kämmerer (* July 2, 1833 in Dessau ; † November 20, 1888 there ) was a German soap maker and founder of the CGKämmerer soap factory in Dessau.

Life

Kämmerer joined his father's company at an early age and, like his father, became a soap maker. After inventions in France and Belgium, the soap factory produced fat soaps. This led to the production of toilet soaps with different scents. After the rooms in the old soap factory became too narrow, Kämmerer built new factory buildings on the outskirts of Dessau in 1866. In the following years up to 80 employees were hired. In 1868 Kämmerer employed his brothers Eduard, Julius and Ernst in the company management, whereby Franz set up a shop in the old rooms and sold the soap factory's products. Chamberlain became purveyor to the court of the Prince of Anhalt. As Commissionsrath he was appointed to the city council. In 1888 Kämmerer died unexpectedly and Eduard took over the management after Julius had also died in 1891.

Carl Gustav Kämmerer was the eldest son of Christian Gottlieb Kämmerer and his wife Wilhelmine (used Huth, née Jasper). In 1867 he married Emma Hahne, sister of Carl Hahne . He had seven children with her, the oldest of whom was only two days old.

The former villa of the family "Villa vom Tivoli" in Dessau is to be renovated in 2017. Kämmerer had commissioned the brick building; after his death in 1888 it was initially used by the family. His daughter Christiane, born June 22, 1870, married to the engineer and industrialist Otto Polysius , later inherited the house. The large pub "Tivoli" next to the villa, which has been operated by the Dambacher brewery since 1873, was part of the building complex. For decades, right up to the Nazi era, it was the venue for the Dessau SPD . In 1945 the former treasurer's villa became the state hygiene institute.
