from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Dahlem (* 1770 ; † April 16, 1833 ) was a Franconian farmer and politician .

Career

Dahlem was a farmer in Kleinostheim . In 1796 he took over the formerly aristocratic "Marienhof", the largest property in town, for 800 guilders annually on a long lease. In 1831 he acquired the estate, which included around 245 acres (about 52 hectares) of land, for 15,000 guilders. After his death, the sons sold it to Karl Lauckhard in 1841. Some of the land had already been sold, so that Lauckhard still owned 167 acres (35 hectares) in 1849. The manor house at Aschaffenburger Strasse 24 was completely destroyed in a bombing raid during World War II on January 21, 1945.

Christian Dahlem was from 1811 to 1816 Landschöffe and mayor of Kleinostheim. At that time, one of his concerns was to make a swamp area usable for agriculture. So he had the swamp drained with ditches, which resulted in a considerable increase in hay and an improvement in the quality of the cattle feed. A small part of the swamp was also used for cutting peat to extract fuel and fertilizer. Dahlem's project to irrigate the meadows by draining the Steinbach was not implemented. It failed not only because of the lack of understanding of the local farmers, but also because of technical difficulties and lack of money.

From February 1819 he was a member of the class V of the Chamber of Deputies . After the exemption required for his mandate and due to illness, he resigned from parliament on February 1, 1822.

Christian Dahlem was married to Margaretha Fleischmann from Mosbach . Son Johann Dahlem took over the monastery estate in Mainaschaff in 1819 . Son Christian Dahlem owned a house in 1850 at Kirchstrasse 5 in Kleinostheim.
