life and work
In 1778 Ernst Christian Bartels advertised in the Hanoverian advertisements as a citizen of the city of Hanover and local bell founder . According to his offer, he cast large and small church bells and manufactured "single as double fire sprinklers " for prices from 80 to 250 Reichsthalers . For his double syringe, the “internal printing mechanism, including the wind bladder, was all made of durable metal” and equipped with the associated leather snakes. In addition, he offered his services as a caster of metal and especially leaden well boots and water pipes, but also the establishment of wells with singers and valves. The production of self-jumping garden fountains with circulating water systems was also part of Bartel's offer.
Towards the end of the 18th century, according to the first address book of the city of Hanover from 1798, Conrad Ernst Bartels worked in the piece foundry "in front of the stone gate ", which is part of the old town , as a piece foundry manager, while the piece caster and chief fireman Johann Heinrich Bartels was also located at the same place .
In 1800, Gerhard von Scharnhorst , at the time Lieutenant Colonel of the Electorate of Hanover , prepared protocols in which, among other things, the metals used in the Hanoverian piece foundry were the subject of various investigations.
