Life

The hammer master Johann Arnhold Bertram from Remscheid , whose family owned several hammer mills in Märkischen, Andernach and Mülheim (Mosel), received the concession on March 31, 1722 to build two hammer mills with free choice of location. First he rebuilt the Steinebrücker Hütte, but was only able to process the pig iron that had been delivered. Because of disputes with the authorities, he leased the hut to Wilhelm Remy from Bendorf in 1725.

Because of his "capacity and skill", he was sworn in on July 20, 1730 by Prince zu Wied as a forest councilor. He was called an "honorable smelter". A document dated June 3, 1741 names Bertram "former Forstrath and Contoir director". The Prince zu Wied Friedrich Wilhelm, who is very satisfied with the work of his forest and chamber councilor Bertram, expanded the work in October 1735, in which he appointed him war and march commissioner.

Bertram married on May 20, 1720 in Remscheid (KB Rem Nr 656) Anna Margaretha Moritz, widowed Müncker from Siegen, the daughter of Georg Wilhelm Moritz, citizen and church elder of Siegen. On May 9, 1741, he was appointed to Königshütte near Lauterberg in the Harz Mountains as administrator and Oberhütteninspector in Brunswick-Lüneburg. (Certificate in the Clausthal-Zellerfeld mountain archive)

In 1741 Bertram introduced Rhineland freshness into the iron production of Königshütte.

From 1755 to 1757 he was director of an ironworks near Dömitz in Mecklenburg, in which his son, Commissarius Johann Heinrich was also involved. On September 16, 1757, both were rightly sentenced to evacuate the iron factory within 48 hours and the Mecklenburg lands within 8 days.

“Old Bertram went to Dresden and wanted to go to Pomerania from here to bring the factories to Flor there. (History of iron extraction in Meklenburg from domestic turf ore) "

In his old age he went to his son, Johann Heinrich Bertram, bailiff in Bettmar and chief comissarius in Braunschweig. Johann Arnold Bertram died on April 30, 1762 in Braunschweig.
