Live and act

Christian Philipp Stumm was the son of Johann Heinrich Stumm (1710–1783), owner of the Abentheuerer Hütte and the Asbacherhütte , and his wife Maria Barbara Gienanth (1724–1781), who came from a family of coal and steel industry in the Palatinate .

The boy became a lawyer and married Friederike Auguste Schmalz, the sole heir of the Mannheim trading and banking house of the same name. This had the status of a house bank in the Electoral Palatinate. As early as 1799 he advanced to the Palatinate-Bavarian court banker, and later he became a councilor. Christian Philipp Stumm lived with his family in the elegant trading and banking house of his parents-in-law in Mannheim, today O 4, 4. The facade of this house still exists (2012), it was rebuilt according to the original after the historic building was due in the 1970s bad condition had been removed.

Together with his brothers Friedrich Philipp and Ferdinand, Christian Philipp Stumm founded the open trading company Gebrüder Stumm in 1806 , which combined the family's iron works on the Saar and in the Hunsrück. In 1808 they acquired the Neunkircher ironworks , in 1809 large shares of the Halberger and Fischbacher ironworks . Christian Philipp also ran an active salt import trade from the Lorraine salt region.

On June 13, 1815, Stumm was the first member of the entire family to be ennobled and, as Baron von Stumm, was raised to the hereditary nobility of the Kingdom of Bavaria . A coat of arms was awarded on the occasion of the status survey.

His two daughters Friederike (1793–1829) and Auguste (1796–1876) married into two ancient Alsatian noble houses . Auguste married Christian Friedrich von Berckheim , Friederike married Count Theodor Waldner von Freundstein . After both Christian Friedrich von Berckheim and Friederike von Stumm died prematurely, the two surviving spouses Auguste von Stumm, widowed Berckheim and Theodor Graf Waldner von Freundstein, joined in a second marriage.

Christian Philipp Stumm died as a very respected Mannheim citizen in 1826. A contemporary poem on his death appeared in the magazine Didaskalia - Blätter für Geist, Gemüth und Publicitäts . a. highlights his charity for the poor. His wife died in 1834 in the Mannheim noble inn Zum Goldenen Hirsch .

The couple found their final resting place in the main cemetery in Mannheim , where their daughter and son-in-law had an elaborate tomb erected in the shape of a mock mausoleum, a work by the Mannheim court sculptor Maximilian Joseph Pozzi (1770–1842), which is unfortunately very dilapidated (2012).
