Life
Christoph Gottlieb Pfannkuche was the ninth of thirteen children of the Verden cathedral preacher of the same name, Christoph Gottlieb Pfannkuche, and his wife Christine Elisabeth, née. Müller. From October 1802 he studied law at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and was appointed notary on September 18, 1809 after passing his exams. After a short stay as a lawyer and notary in Bruchhausen , he returned to his hometown Verden in 1806 and was accepted into the magistrate as a senator and judge there in the same year after reaching the age of majority. In the course of the reorganization of justice and administration under the rule of the Kingdom of Westphalia , he was employed as a procurator at the newly established civil tribunal in Verden. After the transition to France, he was appointed justice of the peace of the canton of Achim by decree of December 30, 1812. After the French defeat and the restoration of the old order, he returned to his previous position as senator. In 1832, he refused to be elected as state parliament deputy. In 1837 he was elected mayor of Verden. In 1838 he received the title of Bremen-Verdian district administrator. On November 1, 1855, he retired at his own request.
Pfannkuche also dealt with the history of the city and the Duchy of Verden and in 1830 published "The older history of the former Diocese of Verden", which was followed by a second volume in 1834 ("The modern history of the former Diocese and now the Duchy of Verden").
He died unmarried in Verden in 1868 and bequeathed his library of over 2,000 volumes and manuscripts to the Verden Cathedral Gymnasium . The Bürgermeister-Pfannkuche-Strasse in Verden was named after him.
