Friedrich Carl Bentz
Friedrich Carl Bentz (born January 15, 1799 in St. Johann (Saar) ; † December 5, 1864 in Klingenmünster ) was a businessman , local politician and, in 1851, mayor of St. Johann (Saar).
Life
His father was the master dyer Friedrich Mathias Bentz, his mother Dorothea geb. Kohl. On March 24, 1823, he married Louise Catharine, daughter of the Sankt Johann master baker Georg Friedrich Köhl. Together they had a daughter named Luisa Catharina Elenora (* 1820) and four sons Friedrich Karl (* 1825), Gustav Adolph (* 1831), Ludwig Anton (* 1836), Heinrich Ferdinand (* 1839).
At that time, Sankt Johann was administered in personal union from the mayor's office in neighboring Saarbrücken , but since its reintegration in the Second Peace of Paris to the Prussian Rhine Province in 1815 , it had been striving for independence. From February 9, 1838, Bentz was a representative in the municipal council for Sankt Johann. In mid-February 1849 he became the community leader of Sankt Johann. After the introduction of the new municipal ordinance passed on March 11, 1850 by the Sankt Johann municipal council on May 29, 1850, Bentz was elected mayor on September 18, 1850. It was intended that he should hold this office until June 28, 1859. In addition, the local council planned to dissolve the Saarbrücken mayors' association and then to transfer the community of Sankt Johann to local self-government, which failed because of Brebach's resistance . After the Trier district government also rejected the restructuring plans by rescript on November 27, 1850 and March 16, 1851 , Sankt Johann finally did not have its own mayor's office. On April 25, 1851, therefore, Friedrich Bentz was elected first deputy of the Saarbrücken mayor . He was introduced to this office by the district administrator on July 10, 1851 and held it until the end of the six-year electoral term in 1857. Bentz thus remained the mayor of Sankt Johann, but held the title of mayor, which was confirmed in July 1851. It was not until May 3, 1859, when the municipality of Sankt Johann was granted administrative rights in the course of the Rhenish City Code that the municipality again had the opportunity to set up its own mayor's office. After August Kromayer left the company in 1862, the Sankt Johanner elected Karl Karcher .
Friedrich Bentz died on a business trip to Klingenmünster near Landau (Palatinate) .
