Life

Born in the small town of Jellen at the time of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg , Conrad Bühring was baptized a few days after his birth on March 22, 1835 in Kirchkogel .

Even at the time of the Kingdom of Hanover founded Bühring in the residence of Hannover towards the end of 1862 together with the from the Rhineland coming August Lindemann the Seidenwaren- wholesaler Lindemann & Bühring , from the under the name Conrad Bühring developed into an international company.

The first business location was in the building at Marktstrasse 54 , which at the time belonged to the Braun family , and where the two company founders worked together for a decade. Bühring managed the entire field service as well as purchasing and sales.

Later, Conrad Bühring was elected mayor - word holder of the citizens entitled to vote - and appointed to the council of commerce .

Approximately one year after the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia married Bühring on June 4, 1867 in the St. Neustädter Kirche Johannis the Charlotte Becker ( Christine Charlotte Elisabeth Becker , born February 18, 1839 in Hannover, † 6 June 1928 ibid), one of nine children of the Hanoverian merchant Georg Wilhelm Becker (born November 25, 1791 Uelzen ; † May 6, 1874 in Hanover), who ran a cloth and manufactured goods store together with his brother Carl in 1818 at Calenberger Strasse 22 of the Calenberger Neustadt had opened. Members of the Becker family had previously become partners in the August Söhlmann leather factory , which, like the municipal Hanoverian hospital in Linden , had put the first steam engines into operation in 1833 and thus stood for the beginning of the industrialization of the Guelph kingdom even before Georg Egestorff .

Conrad Bühring's son Franz Bühring was born in 1868 .

After the proclamation of the German Empire , August Lindemann went back to his homeland in 1872 and relocated to Cologne , while Conrad Bühring now continued the Hanover company under his own name.

In 1893, Bühring's son Conrad initially became a partner in the silk goods wholesaler founded by his father, which he then took over after the company's founder's death.
