from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Jacob Jungclaussen (born October 8, 1857 in Cismar ; † December 28, 1946 ) was a German tree nursery owner and horticultural entrepreneur.

Origin and education

Heinrich Jungclaussen was a son of the pharmacist of the same name in Cismar Heinrich Jungclaussen (1816–1868) and his wife Henriette geb. Assmann (1829-1897).

From 1875 to 1878 he learned the gardening trade from Hermann Ohlendorff in the Hammer tree nursery in Hamburg-Hamm . From 1878 to 1880 he attended the Royal Gardening School at the Wildlife Park near Potsdam . He then served as a one-year volunteer . In 1881/82 he deepened his knowledge with Fisher Son & Sibray near Sheffield in England and in 1882/83 with Louis van Houtte in Gent . This was followed by a stay at the Popelau agricultural school in 1883 and at Schiebler & Sohn in Celle in 1883/84 .

business

In April 1884 Heinrich Jungclaussen bought Theodor Holtz's tree nursery in Frankfurt (Oder) . In the same year he established the company H. Jungclaussen Nursery, Seed Cultures and Perennials . The company expanded rapidly. The company was expanded with new cultivation areas and gained importance for all of Germany beyond the city limits. In the first quarter of the 20th century the total area covered over 450 Prussian acres ; In addition to the main business with shipping and sales departments, this included Vorwerke in Frankfurt (Oder), Boossen and Gut Elisenheim in Lebus ; the company had a total of over 400 employees. An arboretum was created at the headquarters .

In 1911 Jungclaussen was appointed by the Prussian Minister of Agriculture to be a member of the Royal State Economics College with the title of Economics Council. He was the first representative from the gardening field on this committee.

Former Seed Remise (2012)

He was married to Mathilde, born on May 26, 1886. Richter (1867-1946). The son Karl Jungclaussen (1891–1945) joined the company in 1920 as a co-owner. He was turned to anthroposophy and a member of the Christian community . At the beginning of the 1930s he converted the business to the principles of biodynamic agriculture , which temporarily led to a new upswing. Another co-owner became Heinrich Jungclaussen's nephew Franz Jungclaussen († 1947), the father of Emmanuel Jungclaussen . In 1945 the Soviet occupation authorities expropriated the family. The new district of Neuberesinchen was later built on the site . The arboretum was preserved as an urban green area, as was the former seed shed and the office building.

memory

In 1991 the city of Frankfurt / Oder named a street in Neuberesinchen Jungclaussenweg . In 2017, the family set up a memorial stone and an information board in the arboretum.
