Live and act

Heinrich Moritz Neubert came from the Saxon Ore Mountains and grew up in the mountain town of Ehrenfriedersdorf. He was the son of the Evangelical Lutheran pastor Christian Ehregott Neubert (1774–1842), who was transferred to Dorfhain in 1822 . He later moved to Dresden. There he was elected a member of the Dresden city council in 1851 and mayor in 1853. As such, he was the deputy mayor of Dresden, Friedrich Wilhelm Pfotenhauer .

In 1869 he joined the newly founded Dresden History Association and in the same year he joined the Association for the History and Topography of Dresden and its Surroundings , of which Neubert became its deputy chairman. In both associations he was active as a local researcher and presented several publications. Neubert was also a member of the Dresden Freemasons' lodge Zum golden Apfel .

Honors

Because of his lasting merits through intensive research and exemplary presentation of the older history of the city of Dresden, he became an honorary citizen of the city of Dresden on October 31, 1876 .

After his death in 1893 a cross street off Pfotenhauerstraße in Dresden-Johannstadt was named after Neubert.
