biography

Joseph Radspieler came from a family of furniture manufacturers. His father was Josef Ratspiel (1772–1835) from Munich, his mother Terese Schreiber (1770–1827) from Aholming in Lower Bavaria. Joseph Radspieler married on August 4, 1841 with the daughter of an Englishman who immigrated to Munich, Maria Hatton (1818-1896), with whom he had two biological children (Franz and Maria) and a foster child (Anton Ludwig Lippert).

After the trained gilder had earned his first money in the door-to-door business with a vendor's tray for picture frames , in 1841 he founded a company for exclusive interior furnishings together with Anton Lippert (F. Radlayers & Cie., Nachf. A. Lippert Königl .-Bayer.- Hofvergolder).

In 1848, presumably largely financially supported by his father-in-law, he bought the baroque Palais Rechberg, built in 1678 in the Hackenviertel in Munich's old town , for 60,000 guilders from a Count zu Rechberg ; former address Hundskugel 7, today Hackenstr. 7). Heinrich Heine lived there during his stay in Munich in 1827/28 . Radspieler also opened a “gilding shop” and workshop in the house in which he now moved. Later he had it increased and rebuilt in the course of widening Hackenstrasse; since then the original back has been the front; it also has an early classicist facade today .

Soon Radspieler was granted the privilege of being a supplier to the royal Bavarian court . In addition to furniture, including the king's throne chair, picture and mirror frames, fabrics, etc. were also produced for the royal castles. Radspieler supplied both King Ludwig I and his grandson Ludwig II. In a letter from Ludwig II, which is still in the possession of Radspieler's descendants, the king warned him to “finally deliver on time”.

In 1849 Joseph Radspieler became a full member of the Polytechnic Association for the Kingdom of Bavaria .

Radspieler was also politically active. During the turmoil of the March Revolution of 1848 , Radspieler spoke to King Ludwig I as a citizen's delegation with the merchants Karl Rosipal and Karl Reschreiter, as well as the publisher Paul Zipperer, and tried to persuade him to make concessions to the revolutionaries.

Radspieler's business continued to flourish and he had come to some prosperity. In 1851 he was ranked 169 of the highest taxed municipal representative in Munich.

In 1859/60 he was involved in the interior renovation of the Asamkirche in Munich .

At the end of the 1860s, Radspieler was a founding member of the Bavarian Patriot Party , a Catholic, particularist collection movement and a forerunner of the Bavarian People's Party . From 1869 the Bavarian Patriot Party was the strongest party in the Chamber of Deputies. In contrast to the Liberals, she was more critical of the government and repeatedly demanded that Ludwig II dismiss the ministers. In 1869, together with the wholesaler Jakob Steiner (1815–1873) and the privateer Franz Göttner, Radlayers acquired the conservative newspaper Bayerischer Kurier, founded in 1856 by the Munich bookseller Lentner . Steiner and Göttner were, like cyclists, co-founders and members of the provisional committee of the Patriotic Association in Munich. The newspaper (circulation in the founding year over 10,000 copies) should be a mouthpiece of the Catholic bourgeoisie and nobility against the liberal newspaper Münchner Latest Nachrichten (a forerunner of the Süddeutsche Zeitung ).

From 1888 to 1899 he was a bourgeois magistrate in Munich. As early as 1889, the city of Munich awarded him the Golden Citizen Medal of the City of Munich for “excellent services rendered to the community” . The award is noted on the plaques in the upper foyer of the Old Town Hall .

The "Radlayers" house, which continues to be called Palais Rechberg , has been preserved to this day as a family-run business of the same name for upscale interior furnishings with its own carpentry . With one of the few preserved typical old Munich courtyards, it is a Munich attraction .
