Georg Heinrich Nölting

Georg Heinrich Nölting (around 1870)

Georg Heinrich Nölting (born March 3, 1790 in Lübeck ; † April 3, 1874 there ) was a German merchant and senator of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

Life

Nölting was the son of the merchant Georg Friedrich Nölting and joined the family company, the Georg Friedr. Nölting a. From 1822 he ran the business together with his cousin Christian Adolf Nölting . He was a member of the corporation of Stockholm drivers in Lübeck, and was elected to the city council in 1835 as a senior man from their ranks. In the council he mainly dealt with questions of finance and shipping. In the course of the constitutional reform in Lübeck, a resolution of the Senate and the citizenship of June 11, 1851 made it possible to resign from the Senate while retaining all the honorary rights of a Senator in order to adapt this body to the constitutionally reduced number of Senators. Nölting made use of this right as the first senator of the Hanseatic city and retired as a senator in 1851. As a businessman, he remained active as a shipowner and was, for example, director of the New St. Petersburg Steamship Company . As part of the reorganization of the representation of the Lübeck economy, he was elected interim chairman of the Lübeck merchants' union in 1853 and was in charge of this until the election of its first regular president on August 26, 1853.
