family

Friedrich Wilhelm Brande belonged to the eighth generation of the Brande family of pharmacists . He was the son of the court pharmacist Johann Conrad Brande (* 1754 in London ; † 1817 in Hanover) and father of the doctor and politician August Brande and the court pharmacist Friedrich Adolph Brande (* 1825 in Hanover; † 1878 in Verden an der Aller).

Career

Friedrich Wilhelm Brande first attended the Hanover court school , then the local high school, and was later trained by private teachers. While experimenting with chemicals, a near-fatal explosion resulted in loss of vision in his left eye. Nevertheless, six months later, from Easter 1811 to 1813, he attended the Georg August University in Göttingen , where he became a member of the Corps Hannovera Göttingen . Back in Hanover, he prepared for a trip to London mainly by learning the English language and then visited the British capital from 1815 to 1816.

Brande's father died shortly after his return to Hanover in 1817. Since the Hanoverian personal physician Johann Stieglitz and the Oberbergkommissar Johann Ludwig Wilhelm Gruner (1771–1881, member of the Royal Medical Examination Commission for the pharmacist examination) attested that the examinee Brande had good abilities on September 30, 1817, issued the Prince Regent in the name of King George III. Already on November 21st of that year he approved the appointment of Brandes as court pharmacist and the "drug delivery contract" for the Hanoverian court with an annual remuneration of 610 thalers - the same contract that Brande's father had signed earlier. On January 5, 1818 made Brande finally his Huldigungs - and service eid . His request of May 7th, 1819 to the Oberhofmarschallamt for leave from May 26th to September 12th of that year for a scientific study trip to Paris was granted - after all, the French capital was at the time the “stronghold of pharmaceutical research”.

In 1828 Friedrich Wilhelm Brande became a member of the management of the trade association founded in the same year for the Kingdom of Hanover , for which he carried out chemical investigations on a voluntary basis. In 1833 Brande was appointed chief mining commissioner, in the same year Brande became senator in the magistrate of the city of Hanover, a position which he gave up only a few weeks before his untimely death due to illness.
