Franz Xaver Wieninger

Franz Xaver Wieninger (born December 12, 1775 in Wartberg ; † January 26, 1831 in Dachau ) was a Bavarian beer brewer, restaurateur and politician.

Life

Wieninger was born the son of the brewer and entrepreneur Johann Georg Michael Wieninger . His brothers Johann Georg and Gottlieb were also members of the Bavarian state parliament. At the end of the 1780s the family moved to Vilshofen , where the father initially leased a brewery and later bought it, as well as the buildings of the former Capuchin monastery in Vilshofen .

Wieninger married in 1797 what would later become the Hörhammer brewery in Dachau. In the inn, a memorial stone still bears witness to a visit by the royal family and the celebration of King Max I's name day in 1806. The Wieningerstrasse nearby also commemorates the charitable Wieninger couple who donated part of their estate to a charitable foundation brought in.

In addition to his gastronomic activities, Wieninger was also politically active. He was a member of the Bavarian Chamber of Deputies from 1820 to 1825. Since he had ceded his taxable property to his son-in-law Joseph Hierl on August 3, 1826, he lost the eligibility for election and thus the status of a member of parliament; he was released from the chamber. His uncle Philipp Wieninger followed him there . The Austrian physicist and philosopher Ludwig Boltzmann was a great-nephew .
