Life

Carl Kürschner was a younger son of the Schwerin arithmetic master and accountant Johann Friedrich Kürschner (born January 1, 1754 in Schönfließ ; † March 26, 1836).

In 1828 he opened a bookstore in Schwerin and in 1830 acquired citizenship. The bookstore also had a reading cabinet and a music loan institute . When a printed catalog appeared in 1844, the German reading library already contained 10,357 titles. Kürschner became a member of the citizens' committee of the city of Schwerin; In 1834 he was charged with founding an association to support the free press ; he was sentenced to six months imprisonment in a fortress , which in 1835 was commuted to a fine by the Grand Ducal Justice Chancellery in Güstrow .

During the revolution in Mecklenburg in 1848 he was one of the leading figures of the Schwerin Reform Association and was one of the delegates at the first state-wide assembly of representatives of Mecklenburg Reform Friends on April 2, 1848 in Güstrow. When Theodor Reuter waived a by-election, he was elected to the Mecklenburg-Schwerin constituency 19: Schwerin in June 1849 as a member of the Mecklenburg Assembly of Representatives. Here he joined the parliamentary group of reform associations, the Left .

In addition to a bookstore and lending library, Kürschner ran a flourishing publishing house that published important Mecklenburgica from the 1830s and 1840s, including Carl Friedrich Flemming's program on the Sachsenberg mental health institution and the writings of the regional rabbi Samuel Holdheim . In 1848/49 he published the magazine Der Mecklenburgische Landtagbote. Sheets for reform.

In 1847 M. Marcus joined the bookstore and publishing house, which had been operating as C. Kürschner'sche Buchhandlung (M. Marcus) since 1844 .

Kürschner's further life is in the dark.

Bookstore and publisher were taken over on August 3, 1851 by bookseller August Hildebrand (1826-1896).

In 1890 the holdings of the Kürschnerchen Lending Library came to the Grand Ducal Library, today's Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania State Library .
