Georg Benedikt II von Poschinger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Benedikt II Imperial Knight and Edler von Poschinger (born April 24, 1845 in Oberfrauenau ; † December 19, 1900 there ) was a squire and imperial councilor from the Poschinger family .

Live and act

His parents were Johann Michael Reichsritter von Poschinger and his wife Anna Maria, née Schweikl. Like his father, he studied law in Munich and became a member of the Corps Bavaria . After the death of his father in 1863 , a Fideikommiss was formed for the undivided and inalienable preservation of the family assets. As Fideikommissherr Georg Benedikt headed the manor.

At his suggestion, a railway committee was formed, which in 1872 asked the Bavarian Ministry of Commerce to build a railway line from Plattling to Bayerisch Eisenstein with a connection to Prague. On 13 / 14. February 1873 took place in Munich in the Odeon under the equity holders of the Eastern Railway Company to vote on the route. Poschinger's eloquent demeanor in his capacity as chairman of the Zwiesel Railway Committee proved decisive for the construction of the Landshut-Bayerisch Eisenstein railway line .

On February 18, when he arrived in front of the town hall in Zwiesel, all clubs with flags, the authorities and the citizens appeared. The houses were brightly lit, music played and joyous cheers rang out for the “winner of Munich”.

Then he was commissioner for Lower Bavaria at the Vienna World Exhibition . After his return, the 28-year-old was appointed hereditary Imperial Councilor of the Kingdom of Bavaria by King Ludwig II in July 1873 . He held a leading position in the Reichsratskammer.

From 1875 to 1884 he had the magnificent Oberfrauenau Castle built. Gut Oberfrauenau's estate comprised 3476.36 hectares, including the Oberfrauenau hollow glass factory and the Mooshütte sheet glass factory. Poschinger also manufactured bentwood furniture from 1875 until his death. To this end, he built the first chair factory in 1877 on the site of today's forester's house, which burned down in 1886 . In 1887 he built the new Frauenau chair factory on the outskirts of Oberfrauenau .

While taking a walk in the deer park, Benedikt von Poschinger was attacked by a deer on September 11, 1882 , who threw him to the ground and inflicted severe wounds on his thighs with his pointed antlers. He yelled for help, whereupon some workers from outside climbed over the fence of the deer park and saved his life. The lifesavers received plenty of gifts.

Poschinger died unmarried at the age of 55. His brother and successor Eduard Ferdinand had a mausoleum built for him in Frauenau .
