Ernst Wilhelm Schultz
Ernst Wilhelm Schultz (born August 22, 1861 in Lörrach ; † August 13, 1953 there ) was a collector of cultural assets from the Markgräflerland and a driving force behind the founding of the local history museum in Lörrach, today's three-country museum .
Life
He was the son of a wealthy Loerrach bourgeois family. After attending the secondary school in Lörrach, he went to the Polytechnicum in Zurich from 1878 , where he attended his first lectures at the university. From 1879 to 1883 he studied science, history and art history at the University of Strasbourg . After completing a commercial apprenticeship in his parents' company, he worked for two years in a food wholesaler in Constance , then for thirteen years as estate manager of the Bürklin-Wolf winery in Wachenheim an der Weinstrasse . From 1901 he was director of the Palatinate Agricultural Cooperatives. In 1903 he returned to Lörrach, where he managed the Städtische Sparkasse, whose director he later became. In 1922 he retired. Schultz remained a bachelor throughout his life.
During his time at the municipal Sparkasse Lörrach, Schultz compiled a large collection of objects of cultural history from the Markgräfler Land , which essentially form the basis of the Lörrach Local History Museum, which he founded and was curator of for a long time. Together with Julius Wilhelm , he founded the Loerrach Museum Association in 1928. The museum library's most valuable holdings include around 2500 books that Schultz donated to the museum in 1936.
The Ernst-Schultz-Straße in Loerrach was named after him during his lifetime.
