Gaertner was the son of the director of the excise and customs office in Magdeburg, Johann Ernst Gaertner and the Huguenot Marianne Friederike Wilhelmine (Marianne Frédérique Guillaumine) Garrigue (born June 17, 1741 in Magdeburg, † October 4, 1771), a daughter of Moyse Garrigue , the mother of the of Aubusson coming Tapissierfamilien Barraband and Mercier came from. Gaertner had joined the French Reformed Church . Against this background, the traditional French spelling of the name Frédéric Guillaume Abraham is understandable.
Of Friedrich Wilhelm Abraham Gaertner's career, it is only known that he was a high school graduate of the Our Dear Women monastery in Magdeburg at Easter 1783 . It is not known where he received his legal training, at least he was listed as a notary in Magdeburg. Gaertner was married to Sophie Marie Dohlhoff (* October 4, 1769; † December 22, 1827), a daughter of the pharmacist and mayor of the Palatinate Colony of Magdeburg, Georg Philipp Dohlhoff . The Gaertner family had many connections with Huguenot families. Not only was Friedrich Wilhelm Abraham Gaertner's father Johann Ernst Gaertner (* around 1740, † January 24, 1791 in Magdeburg) a son-in-law of Moyse Garrigue , the Dohlhoffs, his wife's family, came from well-known Huguenot families such as the Sandrarts , Schwartz and Timmermanns . Only two children of the Gaertner couple are known, the son Ernst August Gaertner and the daughter Johanna (married to Eduard Dohlhoff ).
Public work
On January 14, 1805, at the age of 31, Gaertner was granted citizenship in the old town of Magdeburg after buying a house . He held a number of public offices, including the Prussian war commissioner. From 1794 to around 1840, the office of notary he exercised was linked to that of the judicial commissioner.
His involvement in the French colony led Friedrich Wilhelm Abraham to the post of fiscal office of the colony in 1797, which he held until its dissolution in 1808. The tax authorities, who from 1775 also held the office of greffier (secret scribe), were the public representatives of the colony. The function corresponded to that of a public prosecutor and ranked above the assessors.
