Johann Erling

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Erling (* 1821 ; † 1884 in Bremen ) was a German mill builder and miller in Bremen.

biography

Erling's father Berend Erling came to Bremen from the Netherlands as a journeyman in the course of building Franz Köcheln's oil mill in 1811 . Mill owner Köcheln persuaded him to settle in Bremen. He founded a family and worked as a mill administrator and specialist in mill construction. As a result of a complaint by the carpenter's guild, Erling was able to show such good repute that the Senate rejected the complaint and declared Erling to be a free master in 1828. In 1832 he acquired the site of the foundry bastion in the Bremen ramparts after a fire destroyed the post mill there. At that point he built the still existing Herdentorswallmühle as a Holländermühle in 1833 and in 1846 the Stephanitorsmühle as a Holländermühle (burned down in 1911). Johann Erling took over his father's mill. In 1882 he built a steam mill on Tannenstrasse in Vegesack , which burned down in 1897.

His son Carl Erling (1857–1934) took over his father's business and founded the Rolandmühle in Bremen in 1897 .
