Live and act

He came from the Keferstein and Käferstein family of paper millers, who had spread to the present-day states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia from the 16th century and owned numerous paper mills there. Christian August Käferstein's († 1805) paper mill in Penig was built by the widow Johanna Marie Käferstein born after his death. Mönch (1763–1834) continued. On January 15, 1823, she and the remaining heirs sold the Penig paper mill to Gustav Franz Käferstein for 3,000 thalers . After the paper dealer Ferdinand Traugott Flinsch had already joined the company as a partner, Käferstein sold the entire company to him on June 30, 1836. In return, he acquired the paper mill in Niederlungwitz from Carl Friedrich August Hahn , which he sold in 1843 to his nephew Karl Ludwig Käferstein, to whom he had previously leased the paper mill .

In the following years he acquired various goods and a. the manor Niedermosel in Mosel and the Schweizergut in Jerisau . From 1852 he was also heir, feudal lord and court lord of the Halsbach manor near Freiberg . He belonged to the second chamber of the Saxon state parliament in 1833/1834 as a representative of the 2nd urban constituency and from 1851 to 1855 as a representative of the 19th rural constituency.

In 1832 Käferstein was accepted into the Freemason Lodge Harmonie in Chemnitz; he was later co-founder of the Lodge for the sisterhood of mankind in Glauchau.

Since 1823 he was with Johanne Christiane Eleonore geb. Weber (1806–1887) married. He died in Glauchau and was buried on the church wall in the Jerisau district. His son Eugen Käferstein (1835–1875) took over the Halsbach estate and was also a member of the state parliament from 1871 until his death. His daughter Agnes Florentine Käferstein (1826–1900) married the mill builder and mill owner Heinrich-Carl Hedrich in Glauchau in 1844 .
