ancestry

Carl Heinrich Hainchelin was born the son of the Prussian finance councilor Pierre Jérémie Hainchelin (1727–1787) and his wife Hedwig Charlotte Kühn (1739–1817), the daughter of the Prussian consul and councilor of commerce in St. Petersburg, war councilor Ulrich Kühn (1693–1757). His great-grandfather Claude Hainchelin (1643–1714) was one of the first Huguenots to emigrate to Berlin in 1685 after the Edict of Nantes was repealed because of the persecution of the Huguenots in France. The family of grandmother Rachel b. Jassoy (1689–1761) had also emigrated from France at that time. The family belonged to the French colony in Berlin.

There were also family ties to Nikolaus von Béguelin , the tutor of the Prussian heir to the throne and later King Friedrich Wilhelm II as well as director of the Philosophical Class of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin. In 1761 he married Marie-Catharine Pelloutier (1733–1794), the daughter of the merchant Jean-Barthélémy Pelloutier and his wife Charlotte Jassoy (1700–1773), a daughter of the jeweler Pierre Jassoy (1658–1714); whose sister Rachel Jassoy was the wife of Claude Hainchelin.

He is missing on a trip to England, so that the mother and her daughter Nanni grew up in needy circumstances. The Princess Auguste of Prussia (1780-1841) was friends with her.

Youth and education

Little is known about his youth and education. His father died in 1787 when his son Carl was only 14 years old. But he came into contact with important people at an early age.

From 1775, his father rented the rooms on the upper floor of the house in Berlin Leipziger Strasse 45 to the Masonic lodge “Zur Schwewiegenheit”. It was rented until 1796. It can be assumed that the family had personal contact with the members of the lodge.

The future builder Friedrich David Gilly (1772–1800), whose father David Gilly was friends with his father Hainchelin, also lived in the house. He had taken him into his house when he came to Berlin at the age of 16. Gilly became secretly engaged to his daughter Maria Ulrike "Manon" Hainchelin, but he did not marry her until 1799 when he had a secure position in life.

At the beginning of the 1790s, a ladies' tea, also known as "Kränzchen", met in the Hainchelin house. The ladies gathered every Tuesday alternately at the "Demoiselle" Elisabeth Charlotte Amélie (Lisette) Hainchelin (1765–1815), once at the Salonnière Madame Henriette Herz , once at War Councilor Eichmann and once at Mademoiselle Henriette Dietrich's. Young men were invited to this tea once and for all: the philologist Georg Ludwig Spalding (1762–1811), the Prussian scholar, statesman and writer Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767–1835), Count Dohna, the later Prussian statesman, philosopher and educator of the future King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia Johann Peter Friedrich Ancillon (1767–1837) and Friedrich von Gentz (1764–1832), a brother of the future architect Johann Heinrich Gentz , who married Anna Henriette Hainchelin and later together with Carl Hainchelin in the General-Ober-Finanz-Kriegs- und Domainen -dirium was busy. Each hostess could also invite whoever she wanted. The later theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher (1766–1834) also frequented the house and mentions the two daughters of Hainchelin in a letter and noted that they had a "very amiable person" as a brother who studied with his childhood friend Wenzel and himself in Halle at the same time and was his trusted friend. From this it can be seen that Carl Hainchelin studied in Halle. This is probably not in doubt, although Carl Hainchelin still had a brother, Johann George. He was a secret secretary, but he died in 1791 at the age of 21. In an album Amicorum of the later war council and main endorser at the General-Ober-Finanz-Kriegs- und Domainen -dirium Georg Friedrich Schmiedicke, there is an entry by Hainchelin from April 12, 1794 on p. 55 in which he stands as a candidate for the rights designated.

Professional activities

Under the minister Carl August von Struensee he was named Geh in 1798 (i.e. at the age of 25). Expeditionary Secretary in the General-Ober-Finanz- War- und Domainen -dirium .

In July 1803 he was given the title of war council . His minister von Struensee undertook a trip to Westphalia from July 24th to August 27th, 1800 , the main purpose of which was to inspect the salt works in the new salt works near Minden and Königsborn . He also focused on the salt trade and the Westphalian "factories". He was accompanied u. a. from the secretary Hainchelin. In 1806 he was employed as a war councilor in the Commerce and Factory Department, in the Accise and Customs Department for salt matters and in the Combined Factory and Commercial Department as well as the Accise and Customs Department. His cousin de Beguelin also worked there in a higher position.

It is not known which function Hainchelin performed during the Wars of Liberation . There is only one note from April 19, 1813, i.e. before Napoleon's final defeat in the Battle of Leipzig in October 1813, that the war council Hainchelin had arrived in Berlin from Paris. In 1818, after the reform of the state administration, he worked in the Ministry of Trade, Industry and the Entire Building Industry under Finance Minister Hans Graf von Bülow . Later he worked as a war council in the Secretariat for the commercial, industrial and building matters in the Upper Mountain Home team for managing the entire mining, metallurgical and Saline essence of the Ministry of the Interior for retail and commercial matters under the Minister Friedrich von Schuckmann deals .

Private activity

Hainchelin joined in 1810 as a member with membership number 25 of the lawless society in Berlin , founded in 1809 , which saw itself as the "bearer of tradition, culture and science" and which still exists today. Member with the number was his brother-in-law Johann Heinrich Gentz (1766-1811). He was also a member of the chess club founded in 1803 (SC) under membership number 39.
