Johann Josef Schunck

Johann Josef Schunck , alternatively also Johann Joseph Schunck (born May 19, 1849 in Klotten ; † June 11, 1893 in Bonn ) was a German slate trader and wine wholesaler.

Life

Johann Josef Schunk is a descendant of the wine merchant, estate and slate mine owner Johann Schunk (April 14, 1817 - August 13, 1896), who came from Bruttig . JJ Schunck was married to Betty Schunck born in Cochem . Hirsch (1850-1926). The daughter Gisela Schunck, born in Cochem, emerged from this marriage in 1886–1981. A grandchild of the two and son of the later married Gisela Cibis, is the German writer Bernd Cibis .

Slate trade

Around 1875 JJ Schunck took over the management of the slate trading company founded in Klotten in 1815. The Schunck company owned slate pits near Laubach and Müllenbach, which they also used themselves from 1815 on. Soon after, they also began to trade in slate. From 1881/82 onwards, the Schunck slate trading company used the Bausberg I slate mine near Kehrig as an underground tunnel mine. After the opening of the railway line from Mayen to Gerolstein in 1895, this Schunck'sche mine experienced a significant boom, since the laborious transport of the slate with horse-drawn carts to the distant Klotten could be omitted. In Klotten, the slate was loaded onto ships in gorse and straw liners for further transport. For this reason the slate was also called Clottener Leyen . This name was closely associated with local slate mining for over a hundred years. The products were considered to be of the best quality and durability and were valued on all slate markets in the Rhine Province . At the same time, the company also started slate mining in the Wernerseck mine near Masburg , but this was given up again in 1900.

When the slate transshipment point in Klotten became increasingly less important due to the slate transport by rail, he relocated the slate trading company Johann Schunck Söhne (owner Joseph and Wilhelm Schunck) to Bonn from 1891/92 . At that time Bonn was one of the largest slate markets. In 1899, the Schunck company played a key role in the merger of various private landowners, who then bore the name Mariaschacht and Dachschieferwerk . In 1926 these two large slate pits were merged. The main shareholder of Mariaschacht GmbH remained the Schunck company until it was dissolved in 1937 and taken over by the JB Rathscheck-Söhne company in Mayen.

Wine trade

In addition to the slate trade, Johann Josef Schunck also ran a wine wholesale business. In 1888 the Deutsche Weinzeitung reported that the wine store in Cochem was taken over by Carl Thielecke because Joseph Schunck had moved his residence from Cochem to Bonn.
