Baron Gerhard Franz Gottfried Anton Maria von Lommessem (born October 14, 1780 in Aachen , † September 30, 1824 in Düren ) was a German administrative officer and district administrator in the Düren district .
Live and act
The son of the Aachen mayor Johann Wilhelm Gottfried von Lommessem and Cornelia van Heyningen belonged, like his father, to the important notables who were appointed to various offices of the municipal and departmental administration during the French occupation of Aachen from 1794 to 1815 . He initially served as an auditor in the Conseil d'État and was appointed first adjunct of the city of Aachen on August 28, 1808 , comparable to the office of an alderman .
In 1811 von Lommessem was first appointed as sub-prefect in the Arrondissement d'Aix-la-Chapelle (comparable to the later administrative district of Aachen ) before he was assigned to the same function in the administration of the Arrondissement Goes in the department by imperial decree of April 17, 1813 Bouches-de-l'Escaut (Département of the Scheldt estuary) was moved.
After the end of the French occupation and the assumption of administration by the Kingdom of Prussia , von Lommessen returned to Aachen in 1815, where he joined the Aachener Casino Club . A year later he was appointed the first district administrator of the new Düren district. Von Lommessem held this office until his death in 1824. Later a street in Düren was named after him.
Gerhard Freiherr von Lommessem was married to Theresa Coletta Josephine Bauwens from Gent (1776–1841), widow of Franz Josef Theodor Freiherr von Fürth (1778–1800). With her he had the son Johann Wilhelm von Lommessem (1808-1883), who was elected to the council of the city of Aachen and in 1846 acquired the Blumenthal Castle . In this castle, he later set up a nunnery with an attached boarding school of the Catholic Order of Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Sacre Cœur) , which his two daughters Anna and Caroline von Lommessem also joined.
