Fuglsang (family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fuglsang is the name of a Hadersleben family.

history

The family name goes back to the Fuglsang farm in Brærå in the parish of Hoptrup . This is the place of birth of Bodel Hansdatter (1756–1826), who married the Hadersleben baker Jesper Christensen (1747–1790) in Alt-Hadersleben in 1781. The Duchy of Schleswig had stipulated in 1771 that fixed family names should replace the patronymic naming that had existed up to then . When the couple had their only son Hans Christian (1787–1856), they chose his family name after the mother's place of birth.

Hans Christian Fuglsang attended school and then received training from a rural schoolmaster. He then worked for a short time as a hiking teacher and writer. In 1811 he got an apprenticeship in Örstedt near Jels . From 1817 he worked as a sexton and teacher in Skodborg . He spoke standard Danish and positioned himself clearly pro-Danish during the clashes between Germans and Danes during the 1830s. This led to a conflict with his son Sören Christian (1815-1904), who lived as a staunch Schleswig-Holstein on the Drenderup Nygaard farm. In 1864 he sold the property, which was south of Kolding and after the new border was redefined, it went to Denmark. He then opened a brewery in Alt-Hadersleben. His sons grew up in the province of Schleswig-Holstein and developed into supporters of Prussia. During this time the family language changed from High Danish to High German.

Sören Christian's eldest son Conrad (1850–1932) trained as a brewer in Dortmund. He then worked in his father's brewery. In 1876 he bought the Teutonen brewery in Mülheim an der Ruhr . It existed as a family business for more than 50 years and became a stock corporation in 1930. Sören Christian's son Hans (1852–1875) attended the Hadersleben grammar school. During the subsequent law degree in Heidelberg, he died of consumption . The sons Sophus (1854–1931) and Christian (1857–1936) restructured their father's business and also opened a malt house. In 1893 they separated the parts of the company: Sophus ran the “Sophus Fuglsang Malzfabrik”, Christian took over the “SC Fuglsang Brewery”.

Christian Fuglsang had sons Hans (1889–1917) and Fritz , who both became artists. Therefore, he transferred the management of the brewery to Sophus' sons Sören Conrad (1893–1986) and Sophus Christian (1898–1985). Sophus Christian's sons ran the two companies, which belonged together again from 1941 to 1967. Thereafter, the companies operated as "Bryggeriet SC Fuglsang A / S" (today's Fuglsang Brewery ) and "Sophus Fuglsang, Export-Maltfabrik A / S & Co."

Sören Christian's youngest son named Clausen (1865–1936) worked as a brewer. He started his training with his oldest brother in Mülheim and continued it in Weihenstephan , Bamberg and Schweinfurt . Then he ran the Stinnes coal processing plant in Strasbourg . In 1895 he went to Schleswig-Holstein again and bought the manor house on the market in Husum, including the brewery, which had existed since 1770. The younger of his two sons, Walter (1903–1990), continued his father's company after studying law and doing his doctorate in 1931 at the University of Kiel. In 1979 he sold the brewery, which was demolished.
