Carl Christian Jügel (born May 2, 1783 in Düren , † September 9, 1869 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German bookseller and publisher.

Life

Jügel was born on May 2, 1783 in Düren. With his parents, the factory owner Johann Friedrich Jügel and his wife Anna Wilhelmine Kirberg, he moved to Berlin, where he became an apprentice in 1797 and an assistant in a bookstore in 1804. In 1808 he moved to Frankfurt am Main, where he first worked in Friedrich Wilmans' bookstore and then from 1812 in Johann Karl Brönner's bookstore.

Jügel reported that he had met many well-known personalities from the military and politics during his time in the Brönners bookstore. At a wedding in 1815, Jügel recited a poem at a wedding and met Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , who praised him for his poetry.

Jügel founded his own bookstore in 1823. She specialized mainly in tourism and published travel books, among other things. He ensured that Heinrich Gottfried Ollendorff's language textbooks were distributed in the form of “pirated prints”, as French copyright law was not in force in Frankfurt.

In 1849 he ceded it to his sons Franz and August and began to write himself at the age of 66.
