Life

Brink attended elementary school and high school in Zwickau and studied law in Leipzig . There he became active in the Arminia fraternity when he began his studies in 1875 . In 1882 Council clerk in Annaberg Brink was the first legal councilor in Pirna . In 1888 he moved to Glauchau in the same position and became mayor there in 1889.

Merits

Brink gave the first ideas for the construction of the Bismarck tower in Glauchau . In addition to the eponymous Bismarck worship, this tower should also have a practical use in the form of a viewing platform. The project was not implemented for the time being. It was not until July 1899, about a year after Bismarck's death , that Brink made further efforts in this regard in Glauchau.

His brother was Wilhelm Brink , the Lord Mayor of Offenbach am Main .
