Friedrich August fair

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich August Kirmes (also: Fridrich August Kirmes and Friedrich August Kirmeß ; * around 1784 ; † May 19, 1858 in Hanover ) was a German court - bathers , surgeons , entrepreneurs , leeches - traders and local politicians .

Life

Friedrich August Kirmes was born around 1784 at the time of the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg during the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover .

At the time of the Kingdom of Hanover , Kirmes was already referred to in the address book of the city of Hanover as "Chirurgus" with its seat at Calenberger Straße 267 .

Hofbader "Kirmeß" with the number 58 was already a member of the horticultural association when the horticultural association for the Kingdom of Hanover was founded on September 22, 1832.

The leech colony at Entenfang in Hanover bred the medically effective bloodsuckers

Even before the beginning of industrialization in the kingdom, Kirmes worked at the latest in early 1833 with the title of Hofbader. As such, "FA Kirmes" advertised as a dealer with headquarters in the "Rotherei No. 373 ”in the Calenberger Neustadt on January 26, 1833 in the Hannoversche Zeitung different sizes and combinations of leeches to be sent alive at different prices. It is assumed, however, that Kirmes had already been trading in medical leeches before 1833 , since "bathers and surgeons [...] have needed the little bloodsuckers since ancient times". However, since the demand was not easy to meet, the Landdrostei Hannover issued a tender in 1826 calling on the city and rural physicians to urge surgeons and bathers to always “... to keep a supply of real and good leeches.” Almost two decades later In the Hanover address book there was a note of regular breeding of ducks for 1845 .

On February 13, 1838 Hofbader Kirmes was one of 14 elected mayor of the city of Hanover, while he previously worked under the court shoemaker Weydemann temporarily together with the court carpenter Goslar and the shoemaker Hasselkusel as district chairman in the "Great Duvenstrasse district". As a local politician, he played a role in the Hanoverian constitutional conflict , but for fear of the consequences he was rather loyal to the state and submissive in the spirit of the monarch King Ernst August von Hanover . For example, he did not accept an invitation from the transport politician Bernhard Hausmann to the mayor's college to come to his house to discuss relevant protests.

In 1847 the Hofbader and leech seller lived in the house Rote Reihe 12. After he died at the age of 74, his widow was still one of three leech dealers in Hanover in 1869 in the same house.
