Hermann von Mauchenheim called Bechtolsheim

Hermann von Mauchenheim called Bechtolsheim (born February 28, 1836 in Würzburg , † May 25, 1910 in Munich ) was the royal Bavarian bath commissioner in Bad Kissingen .

Life

He came from the old Franconian noble family Mauchenheim and was the son of Baron Johann Philipp Gottfried von Mauchenheim called Bechtolsheim (1789–1848) and Karoline Freiin von Gagern (1801–1895). Mauchenheim married Leontine von Erstenberg zum Freyenthurm (born June 18, 1845 in Vienna , † February 7, 1895 in Nervi ). From this marriage came at least the son Johannes-Anton Kajetan Pius Freiherr von Mauchenheim called Bechtolsheim (1878–1945).

Mauchenheim was from 1884 to 1906 as the royal Bavarian district administrator and bath commissioner (spa director), the official representative of the Bavarian state government in the Bavarian state spa in Bad Kissingen. After the anti-Semitic attack against the American- Jewish businessman Louis Stern from New York City during a reunion on July 11, 1895 in the Kursaal in Bad Kissingen, Mauchenheim, as the responsible bath commissioner, then tried to appease the Louis Stern affair , which was turning into a state affair , although he himself had not been there that evening, as his wife had only died five months earlier. In recognition of his services to the spa town during his 22-year tenure, the city of Bad Kissingen granted Mauchenheim an honorary citizen in 1906 .

Since 1856, when he was studying in Heidelberg, he was a member of the Corps Guestphalia Heidelberg .
