Heinrich Schabbel (pastry chef)
Heinrich Schabbel (born July 24, 1861 in Lübeck ; † December 12, 1904 there ) was a German merchant , entrepreneur and patron during the founding period and the early 20th century.
Life
origin
The great-grandfather Heinrich Schabbels came to the Hanseatic city around 1778 as a private baker with his business from Malchin in Mecklenburg .
career
After school, Schabbel began his commercial training as an apprentice at JA Suckau . As a businessman , he has also been active outside of Lübeck.
Since his parents wanted to keep his father's business, which had been in the family's possession for 150 years, Heinrich later had to change his profession as a businessman. As a master baker and confectioner , he not only knew how to maintain the old and well-founded reputation of his house in the city and its surroundings, but also to expand it beyond its borders , among other things through the development of the Hanseatic League .
Less prominent in urban affairs, he was a well-known figure in sports circles . Cycling in particular had an avid supporter and thorough connoisseur in him . In summer weeks he recovered regularly in cycling in the supposedly most beautiful districts of his native land .
family
Heinrich himself was to remain unmarried, but he had siblings and numerous friends. An eloquent sign of the respect he enjoyed in life was the immensely large number of those who gave him, who died as a result of a heartbeat , the last escort to the general church .
estate
After his death, Schabbel left a legacy of ℳ 125,000 to his hometown . Its purpose was to erect a building that would have to bear the name "Schabbel Foundation". The state would have to provide the foundation with the garden and space required for the foundation building free of charge. The building should either serve certain museum purposes or be built as a home for elderly needy women of educated classes . The last-mentioned purpose was probably mainly in mind, since he often expressed himself in this direction among his most trusted friends. He wanted an addition to the Johanniskloster and the Borries-Stift . This should be similar to what the Brigittenhof offered. The thought of dedicating the foundation to museum purposes was rather an instant one back then. This was brought about by a series of articles that appeared in the "Lübeckischen Blätter" at the time the will was written .
The foundation , the further provisions of which were left to the Lübeck Senate , gave testimony to the high sense and the noble disposition that formed a basic feature of its nature.
Since a place where the numerous Lübeck antiquities, which had been kept in the lightless and damp basement of the Museum of Art and Cultural History, had been missing for a long time, the Senate acquired, whereby an input from the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities helped to determine this choice was, an old Lübeck merchant's house, the Heyke'sche Haus, in Mengstrasse .
