Emil Neubert
Ernst Emil Louis Neubert (born March 10, 1832 in Blankenstein ; † May 1916 in Hamburg ) was a German commercial gardener .
Live and act
Emil Neubert spent childhood and youth in a rectory in Blankenstein. From 1846 to 1849 he completed vocational training at the Maybier commercial nursery in Dresden and then worked in various nurseries in Quedlinburg . In 1852 Neubert moved to Hamburg, where he worked as an assistant to Carl Hinrich Harmsen. In 1855 Neubert lived for a long time in England and from 1856 to the spring of 1858 in France . After returning to the Hanseatic city , the gardener acquired the state citizenship of the Geestlande rulership in July 1858 .
In August 1858 Neubert married Bertha Harmsen, who was a daughter of Carl Hinrich Harmsen. One month later, Neubert opened his own art and trade gardening and flower shop on the premises of his father-in-law at Lübecker Straße 88. It was one of the first flower shops in Hamburg. A few years later the company moved to Güntherstrasse; Large parts of the company premises were sold again in 1874. In 1880 the gardener took over a 2.5 hectare site on Ahrensburger Strasse that had belonged to his brother-in-law Ernst C. Harmsen. Neubert operated eight greenhouses for warm house and indoor plants and specialized in the cultivation of Klivien and Franciscea clycina . The successful flower shop stayed in Güntherstraße and closed after Bertha Neubert's death in 1920. The shop was highly regarded and was known for the plants on offer even decades after it was closed.
In 1895 Emil Neubert sold all of the shops to his second oldest son, Woldemar , but continued to work in the company. Emil Neubert was an honorary member of the horticultural association for Hamburg, Altona and the surrounding area for a long time. He died in mid-1916 due to an accident at work.
