Joachim Arndt Saltzmann

Joachim Arndt Saltzmann, around 1760

Joachim Arndt Saltzmann , also Salzmann (born June 3, 1691 in Grabow , † August 13, 1771 in Charlottenburg ) was a royal court gardener in the Charlottenburg palace gardens .

Live and act

Joachim Arndt Saltzmann was born in Grabow in Mecklenburg-Schwerin as the son of the tailor Johann Saltzmann. From 1723 he worked as an assistant in the Lustgarten Charlottenburg under the court gardener Johann Lohmann and from 1726 as a master journeyman and planner. After Lohmann's death in 1729, Friedrich Wilhelm I appointed him as his successor in the Charlottenburg pleasure and kitchen garden . In 1761, at the age of 70, Saltzmann asked his previous journeyman, Carl Friedrich Fintelmann , to be allowed to hire him as an adjunct , who was thus entitled to a successor in office and, as was usually the case, to half of his salary .

family

In April 1727 Saltzmann married the daughter of his teacher, Margarethe Elisabeth Lohmann, with whom he had fourteen children. Among them were Friedrich Zacharias, who would later be the court gardener in the terrace area of ​​the Sanssouci Park , who was born in 1731 and Anna Dorothea, who was born in 1742 and who would later become the wife of court gardener Carl Friedrich Fintelmann.

Individual evidence

1. ↑ In Preussisch Grün , p. 130 f, Clemens Alexander Wimmer gives Joachim Arndt Salzmann's salary as 570 thalers in 1734. At the Prussian court there was probably no increase in the salary of the court gardener until 1787.
