Friedrich Boldemann
Ernst Peter Jochim Friedrich Boldemann (born January 26, 1788 in Grabow , † March 1, 1865 in Lübeck ) was a German insurance salesman and politician.
Life
Friedrich Boldemann was the son of a businessman in Grabow. Although he felt like studying, his father insisted on the trade and took him into an apprenticeship himself. In 1806 Boldemann freed himself from his father and went to Lübeck. There, however, the economic decline caused by the Lübeck French era forced him to look for a position in Tönning , which he lost when the continental barrier was enforced . He then worked for a wine shop in Wroclaw , for which he traveled across Europe.
In 1813 he took part in a Mecklenburg regiment of volunteer hunters on horseback under Gustav Wilhelm zu Mecklenburg in the Wars of Liberation .
After the war and the completion of his commercial training in Hamburg, he started his own business in Lübeck as a freight forwarder and commission agent. He became a member of the Lübeck Schonenfahrer and later also their senior man . At the end of the 1820s, he completely shifted his business to the insurance sector and not only initiated insurance companies, but also the first Lübeck bank and shipping companies. From the Schonenfahrers he actively campaigned for the professional, political and cultural community in Lübeck, which he would have liked to reform more quickly and adapt it to the modern framework. He was a member of the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities and its director from 1842 to 1845. In the revolutionary year of 1848, Boldemann was a member of the Lübeck citizenship and its spokesman. It is largely thanks to him that the Lübeck constitutional reform of 1848/1849 could be carried out peacefully in the negotiations with the Lübeck Senate, in contrast to the other German states. He belonged to the citizenry until 1852. Part of his written estate is in the archive of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck .
He was married to Sophie Elisabeth, born on April 7, 1817. Kindt (1785–1844), a sister of Georg Christian Kindt and Franz Friedrich Kindt . The Behnhaus keeps chalk portraits of the couple made in 1836 by Carl Andreas August Goos .
