Johann Heinrich Ferdinand Hartmann (born November 7, 1790 in Braunschweig , † October 23, 1842 in Pfaffendorf near Leipzig ) was a German textile entrepreneur and founder of the worsted yarn spinning mill in Leipzig .
Life
Ferdinand Hartmann was the fifth of 13 children of the lieutenant and later Kramerbaumeister (government master builder) Johann Andreas Hartmann (born August 7, 1737 in Braunschweig) and his wife Ilse Dorothea Friderike Redtmeyer.
He spent his apprenticeship in the Hanoverian silk and haberdashery stores of Johann Christian Hollmann (1806 to 1808) and Georg Wilhelm Wöbbeking (1808 to 1811). In 1814 he came to Leipzig and founded a woolen shop there in 1822 together with Ferdinand Portius. When Portius left on May 1, 1829, Hartmann's nephew Wilhelm Hartmann became a co-owner of the wool store.
Hartmann married Johanne Wilhelmine Schall (* 1795), the daughter of Chamber Councilor Johann Traugott Schall from Frankenhausen , in 1818 , and on July 25, 1822 he became a citizen of Leipzig.
With the support of his father-in-law, Hartmann was able to found the worsted spinning mill in Pfaffendorf on the site of his previous woolen store in 1830 , initially owned by his two brothers-in-law. After his father-in-law paid his daughter her inheritance in the factory and she then took over the shares of her brothers, Hartmann's wife was the sole owner of the spinning mill. In 1836 the company was transformed into the first public limited company in Leipzig.
Ferdinand Hartmann died suddenly at the age of 52 after six years as the “executive director” of the stock corporation.
