Franz Friedrich Wundram

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Friedrich Wundram (* around 1728 ; † October 15, 1802 in Herrenhausen near Hanover ) was a silk building and brickworks administrator of the state, sovereign , Royal British and Electoral Brunswick-Lüneburg brickworks in Herrenhausen.

Life

In 1773, Wundram, at that time the inspector of the stately brickworks in Herrenhausen, was commissioned to repair the mulberry garden and to put the silk house, which had not been used since the Seven Years' War , back into operation. Since the plantations of the mulberry garden seemed too small, Wundram had more mulberry trees planted in all possible areas of Herrenhausen . Soon an average of 36 pounds of silk harvested a year could be delivered to Berlin or a Hanover weaving mill. But the Hannoversche Schulmeisterseminar, the Werkhaus and private individuals were soon able to breed silkworms with the leaves of the manor houses mulberry trees. Until an independent gardener position was set up, the brickworks manager Wundram was also given the management of the 10 hectare mulberry plantation until 1780. His successor in the tree nursery was Jobst Anton Stawasser or Jobst Edmund Wundram, who worked in the Herrenhausen court gardening as well as the garden master Johann Wilhelm Tatter , the former master craftsman Johann Christoph Wendland or the botanist Friedrich Ehrhard .

Wundram's writing, Brief Instruction on Domestic Silk Construction , based on personal experience, was distributed together with cultivated mulberry trees in 1000 copies throughout the country free of charge, in order to help poorer classes to improve their income through the instruction.

In the magazine Neues Hannöverisches Magazin, Wundram published the increased planting of beets that he introduced in the Electorate of Hanover , which can be used both for feeding cattle and for making substitute coffee. Here, too, he distributed seeds he had grown himself free of charge.

Franz Friedrich Wundram was subordinate to the director of the electoral court, building and gardening department Adolf August Friedrich von der Wense . Wundram's successor in the administration of the Herrenhausen brickworks was Carl Ludewig Schädler , the son of the master builder Franz Schädler .

Together with Dorothea Lucia Röttger (* January 4, 1750; † April 12, 1812), Wundram had their son Johann Heinrich Wundram († January 26, 1823 in Hanover), who was born in Herrenhausen on December 14, 1772 and who became a bridge and road construction engineer, and the son Christian Ludwig Wundram (1769-1890), who embarked on the career of a pastor. He had at least seven children.
