Life
Friedrich Ludwig Tenge was born as the son of the Osnabrück tobacco manufacturer Ernst Friedrich Tenge (1759-1824). From 1800 to 1808 he attended the Ratsgymnasium in Osnabrück. In 1810 he began studying agricultural economics in Montpellier , which he continued in Göttingen in 1811 and graduated in Heidelberg in 1813 . In Göttingen he became a member of the Corps Guestphalia.
Even at a young age he showed himself to be very willing to take risks in his investment decisions with great skill in financial transactions. His first acquisition was in 1814 for his father, the Niederbarkhausen estate , on which he built a vinegar factory in 1814 , a wheat mill in 1816 , a pottery in 1817 and a coal mine in the 1820s .
In 1818 he acquired the Dalbke estate on his own account , on which he built the Dalbke paper mill in 1835, which after his death was continued as the Dalbker paper mill by his grandson Max Dresel .
He acquired the domain estate Holte in 1820 and built the Holter ironworks here from 1840 to smelt the lawn iron ores occurring in the region . The ironworks, which went into operation in 1842, was the first large metalworking industry in East Westphalia.
In 1822 Tenge acquired from Aloys von Kaunitz-Rietberg the holdings of the former Counts of Rietberg, which he owned under private law .
In 1831 the Marschallhagen forest estate was acquired, on which he founded the Marschallhagen glassworks in 1833. In 1840 he acquired the Sengenthal glassworks. In 1846 he built the Rietberg glassworks on the Rietberg estate , which he had acquired in 1822.
Many radical democrats during the pre-March period were among his friends and guests, including Wilhelm Weitling , the brothers Karl and Albert Grün , Friedrich Engels and Hermann Püttmann . Hoffmann von Fallersleben , who also accompanied Tenge on a trip to Italy in 1844, visited him repeatedly . Many politically persecuted writers found refuge with him in Niederbarkhausen, according to Ferdinand Freiligrath .
Friedrich Ludwig Tenge was the progenitor of the Westphalian entrepreneurial family Tenge.
