Johann Caspar Karcher

Johann Caspar Karcher (born May 21, 1738 in Saarbrücken ; † January 13, 1826 there ) was a German merchant from Saarbrücken.

Life

Johann Caspar Karcher was the son of the businessman Hans Caspar Karcher and Catharina Elisabeth Mühlhaus. He was married to Sophia Elisabetha Karcher. The couple had five children. On April 3, 1806, he acquired the Forbacher Hof, which was auctioned off by the French administration. In 1821 he had a mansion built there. Initially used as a summer residence, the estate was given to his son Philipp Heinrich Karcher as his residence. After that, it remained in the family for two more generations. Paul Karcher , the last owner, then renamed the estate in "Haus Furpach". He sold the estate to the city of Neunkirchen , which built a large housing estate on the site during the Nazi era , known today as Furpach .

The Karcher family is remembered in many ways in the Neunkirchen district. A street, Karcherstrasse, was dedicated to the family. The community hall on the site of the former estate is now called Karchersaal.
