Johann Christoph Carl Gentzsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Christoph Carl Gentzsch (d. 1811 in Weimar ) was the son of the Saxon-Weimar court gardener Carl Heinrich Gentzsch . He was not a court gardener like his father, but from 1787 initially a gardener, from 1790 horticultural clerk, and finally in 1805 a gardening manager. Carl August entrusted him with all the work in the Welschen Garten after the lease contract to the court gardener Johann Gottlieb Bleidorn was terminated in 1784 with the reference that the Welsche Garten would be attached to the park on the Ilm , which also happened. In a sense, he stood by his father's side. Gentzsch also got to do at the Weimar shooting house . The invoices of the horticultural clerk Gentzsch from November 12, 1805 refer there u. a. on staking out and laying out English games.
