Christian Nietner
Christian Wilhelm Nietner (born September 17, 1756 in Sagan , Silesia, † April 13, 1822 in Niederschönhausen ) was a royal court gardener in Niederschönhausen.
Life
Like his younger brother Friedrich, Christian Nietner belonged to the second generation of court gardeners in the Nietner family. He was born in Sagan, Silesia, where his father Johann Joseph Nietner had taken over the position of court gardener a year earlier. His mother Anna Catharina Sello also came from a gardening family who, like the Nietners, had been court gardeners in royal service for many generations.
Christian Nietner completed his apprenticeship from 1772 to 1775 in the garden area at the Neues Palais in Potsdam's Sanssouci Park , which was administered by court gardener Heinrich Christian Eckstein (1719–1796). The apprenticeship was followed by the years of traveling .
In 1784 he got the position of Planteur in the Schönholz plantation and in April 1785 married Sarah Eva Catharina, née Rolandt or Ruhlandt, daughter of a sergeant in the Berlin Parochial Church. Of his five children, Theodor Eduard, born in 1790, later became court gardener in Paretz Palace and Niederschönhausen. In 1795 Christian Nietner took over his father's office of court gardener in Niederschönhausen, which he held until 1816.
