from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mainz, former Ingelheimer Hof, preserved archway

Heinrich von Mappes ran the wine trading company Gebr. Heinrich and Konrad Mappes in Mainz with his brother (→ Viticulture in Mainz ). In his role as executive vice-president of the Mainz Chamber of Commerce from 1802 to 1819, he made great contributions to the city's economic situation. So he personally campaigned against Napoléon Bonaparte for the restoration of the Mainz free port and the establishment of a customs warehouse at the Electoral Palace . He acquired the remains of the former Ingelheimer Hof, which was destroyed by Prussian / Austrian artillery fire during the siege of Mainz (1793) , and after 1800 rebuilt it with a new interior layout as a residential and commercial building.

On January 13, 1813, he was raised as a baron to the imperial French nobility. However, this ennoblement was no longer generally recognized after the Wars of Liberation . Together with Franz von Kesselstatt , he was part of a deputation from the city of Mainz, which was sent by Mayor von Jungsfeld to the Congress of Vienna from September 1814 to April 1815 in order to represent the interests of the city, in particular the preservation of stacking rights .

Heinrich von Mappes was a member of the general council of the Département du Mont-Tonnerre and of the first chamber of the estates from its foundation in 1820 until his death in 1845. On November 20, 1839, the elevation to the grand ducal Hessian nobility took place.

Orders and decorations

Napoleon awarded him the Cross of the Legion of Honor and elevated him to the status of Baron d'Empire (hereditary barony).
