Johann Bauser

Johann Bauser (born November 26, 1827 in Wehingen ; † September 11, 1899 ) was mayor of Neustadt in the Black Forest from 1875 to 1879 and the cashier of the local savings bank from 1871 to 1891 .

Life

Bauser came to Neustadt as a young watchmaker in 1849. He ran a shop and founded a watchmaking school. In 1871 he became the treasurer and first full-time employee of the district savings bank Neustadt. He managed the financial institution from which the Sparkasse Hochschwarzwald would later emerge, including during the monetary union of 1876 as a result of the German Coin Act of 1873. During his tenure, the number of customers rose from 2015 to 5268 and the value of their savings from 595,000 to 7,060 , 000 marks .

From 1868 he also worked as a voluntary council clerk before he was elected mayor by the local council on December 11, 1875. On February 1, 1879, his successor was elected. The reason for the end of his term of office was probably the Badische Sparkassengesetz , which did not allow any further activity in municipal offices. In the years 1892 to 1893 he had the former headquarters of the Sparkasse built in the neoclassic style on Neustädter Hauptstrasse .

Portrait medallion by Magdalena Bauser in the Neustädter Friedhof

Bauser died on September 11, 1899. His grave in the old Neustädter Friedhof on the Allmend is a listed building. The portrait medallions formerly attached there, which show him and his wife Magdalena (born June 26, 1822 as Magdalena Hug), probably come from his son, the sculptor Heinrich Bauser (1858–1942). After the previously stolen medallion with Johann Bauser's portrait was returned to the city in 2011, it is kept in the city archive, while the one with the portrait of his wife is still installed on the cemetery wall, at least until the planned redesign of the cemetery after the remaining rights of use have expired at existing graves and burial sites in 2024.Template: future / in 4 years
