Carl Oskar von Deuster (also Oskar von Deuster , until 1884 Carl Oskar Deuster ; * February 16, 1835 ; † October 8, 1904 ) was a Lower Franconian landowner and from 1887 hereditary Imperial Councilor of the Crown of Bavaria in the Chamber of Imperial Councils in the Bavarian State Assembly .

Life

Carl Oskar Deuster was born on February 16, 1835 in an unknown location. He came from the family of Carl Otto II. Deuster (1800–1877), who was one of the richest families in the city of Kitzingen am Main . The mother Justine, née Hornschuch (1806–1882) also came from an important family of wine merchants. In addition to the wine trade , Carl Otto also worked as a merchant and banker. The Lutheran family had many children, with Oskar growing up as the second-born son.

In Meiningen , Carl Oskar was sent to secondary school, which he left in 1851. In 1853 he enrolled at the University of Würzburg in order chemistry to study. After a year, however, he probably dropped out. His older brother Carl Reichard von Deuster had married into a Kitzinger brewery family and took over the business in the same year. Now the younger Oscar has been trained in his father's wine trade. By 1862 he was promoted to managing director. In 1871 Carl Oskar Deuster married Auguste Woehrnitz, a wealthy brewery woman.

After the death of his father, Oskar received a third of the Ditterswind estate in the Steigerwald and the family's ancestral home at Kitzinger Luitpoldstrasse 12. The brothers subsequently entered the real estate business under Oskar's leadership and acquired other houses in Kitzingen. In addition, the family came into the possession of the Gückelheim estate in the Haßbergen . From 1880 onwards, the younger brother Friedrich Deuster appeared more and more frequently as Oskar's representative in real estate contracts.

Other farm estates came into the family's possession with Wasmuthhausen , Bibergau and Greßelgrund . At this point in time, the family's goal was already to be ennobled by the Bavarian king and to establish a Fideikommiß . On February 1, 1884, Oskar Deuster submitted an application for nobility, which he wanted to extend to the brothers because he himself remained childless. On November 29, 1884, the Deuster family was raised to the hereditary nobility and the establishment of the Fideikommiss was promoted until 1887. A short time later, Sternberg Castle near Sulzdorf an der Lederhecke was purchased.

In 1887, Carl Oskar von Deuster was also appointed Reichsrat in the Chamber of Reichsrat of the Bavarian Estates Assembly. The family came from the previously disadvantaged Franconian part of the country and, unlike many older Franconian noble families, had a clear inheritance regulation. Carl Oskar von Deuster represented conservative politics in parliament , the family saw themselves as patriotic towards the Kingdom of Bavaria. This is also to be understood as the purchase of the “radical democratic” Kitzinger Anzeiger, which was later replaced by a conservative publication.

In the meantime the family bought more goods. In 1889 the Wöllrieder Hof with properties in Rottendorf , Gerbrunn , Estenfeld , Lengfeld , Unterdürrbach and Würzburg came into the hands of the Deuster family. The last acquisition was the Dächheim estate near Schweinfurt in 1895 . In addition, Carl Oskar von Deuster also acted as a donor and had Königsplatz redesigned in Kitzingen in 1884 or supported the building of a church in Ditterswind. Carl Oskar von Deuster died on October 8, 1904. His nephew Friedrich inherited the seat in the Reichsrat .
