biography
Tecklenborg was the oldest son of ten children of the sailmaker and ship owner Franz Tecklenborg (1780-1821). His mother was Anna Christina Claussen (1784-1830). He actually wanted to be an artist himself , but became a sail maker after the early death of his father. He did an apprenticeship and then worked in Copenhagen . When he returned to Bremen in 1830, after his mother's death, he took over his father's business, which traded under the name of Franz Tecklenborg, sail and compass maker . He represented several English ones in BremenFactories for anchors, chains, cordage and canvas. Franz Tecklenborg also ran a shipping company under his name and was very successful in building on the professional activities of his grandfather of the same name, the shipowner and seafarer Franz Tecklenborg (1744–1809).
In 1841 Jan Simon Abegg built a shipyard in Bremerhaven next to the local Rickmers shipyard with financial help from Tecklenborg . In 1843 Franz Tecklenborg took over the business and was able to win his brother Johann Carl Tecklenborg as a ship's carpenter for the company. In 1845 Johann Carl took over the technical management of the shipyard, which has operated under the name of Joh. C. Tecklenborg since then .
The Franz Tecklenborg shipping company had a total of 19 sailing ships at Joh. C. Tecklenborg shipyard in order in time from 1848 to 1893. After his death in 1886, his son Eduard Tecklenborg continued to run the Bremen shipping company for a few years. In 1894 all ships were sold and the shipping business was discontinued. The sailmaking business was transferred to the company's two authorized signatories in 1890.
Tecklenborg was accepted as a member of the Bremen institution “ Haus Seefahrt ” in 1864 and appointed there in 1866 as a worker.
He belonged to the Bremen citizenship from 1853 to 1886 and, according to the eight-class electoral law of the new Bremen constitution that had existed since 1854, was the “2nd Class "(" Merchants with Chamber of Commerce suffrage ") of the citizenship deputies.
His son Eduard Tecklenborg was responsible for the further development of the Joh. C. Tecklenborg shipyard as his company inheritance.
He was buried in the Tecklenborg family grave in the Waller Friedhof in Bremen.
