Life

Hermann Angerstein was born in 1814 after the so-called "French era" at the beginning of the Kingdom of Hanover . For many years he was a partner in the Andreae & Co. pharmacies and founded the Erdmann & Angerstein company in 1846 , with which he initially operated the Struve'sche Mineralwasseranstalt , and later also the Angerstein's drinking hall named after him .

In addition, Hermann Angerstein later founded the “new Hannoversche Badeanstalt”.

In 1851 Angerstein was a member of the board of directors of the Natural History Society of Hanover with the duties of librarian and treasurer, alongside the Oberbergrat and managing director of the Friedrich Ludwig Christian Jugler society , the conservator Philipp August Friedrich Mühlenpfordt , the geographer and senior teacher at the Lyceum Hermann Guthe and other personalities.

Just like Jugler and the pharmacist Arnold Hildebrand, Angerstein made several gifts to the Natural History Society from 1851 and was a co-founder of the collection of natural history exhibits, which the Hanoverian Oberhofmarschall Ernst von Malortie then considerably expanded in the following year 1852. Together with Conrad Wilhelm Hase , the banker Adolph Meyer , the painter Carl Oesterley senior , the magistrate Carl Baldenius and Hermann Kestner , for example , Angerstein was one of the leading members of the “Committee for the Establishment of an Actien Association for the Establishment of an Institute for art and science allhier ", shortly thereafter renamed" Commitée of the Museum of Art and Science ", typical representatives of the Hanover educated middle class , although the nobleman Lord Chamberlain took over the chairmanship of Malortie. From the initiative of this bourgeois-aristocratic committee, today's Lower Saxony State Museum in Hanover was ultimately to grow.

In the trade association founded for the Kingdom of Hanover in the course of industrialization , Angerstein, who had been promoted to "Kommerzrat", gave presentations to the assembled membership on October 23, 1865, for example about fish meal from stockfish from Norway , parchment paper from the Württemberg manufacturer Carl Brandegger , the areas of application of the Bark of the tree Quillaja saponaria or the newly discovered metal magnesium in the areas of application , before Karl Karmarsch also presented a newly developed security lock.

When, during the founding period of the German Empire, a major jubilee art exhibition was being prepared for the Museum of Art and Science, which had opened decades earlier, the previous year , the magazine for fine arts issued a public appeal for "the oldest board member (for 31 years Conservator of the association) Mr. Kommerzienrat Angerstein artist album to be donated ”, about which the architect at the time“ L. Schulze in Waldhausen near Hanover would give more information ”.
