Julius Buddeus
Julius Friedrich Albert Buddeus (born May 15, 1812 in Bielefeld , Kingdom of Westphalia , † July 3, 1873 in Düsseldorf , Rhine Province ) was a German publisher , book and art dealer and poet . In 1839 he founded the Julius Buddeus art dealership in Düsseldorf , also known as Buddeus'sche Kunsthandlung . From 1848 to 1873 he limited himself to the company name of Julius Buddeus' publishing house on the publishing business, which his widow ran from 1873 to 1877 after his death.
Life
Buddeus came to Düsseldorf from Bielefeld in 1839, where he founded an art and publishing business on April 10, 1839, which he expanded in 1843 to include a bookstore. The Düsseldorf painter and graphic artist Adolph Schroedter created a draft for a letterhead for the company in 1839. Buddeus maintained close business and personal contacts with artists from the Düsseldorf School of Painting , in particular with Schroedter and the painter Carl Friedrich Lessing , a leading Düsseldorf history and landscape painter. In the list of members of the art association for the Rhineland and Westphalia , Buddeus appeared for the first time in 1838/1839 under the professional title "art dealer". As early as 1844 or earlier it appeared through a "permanent art exhibition". In 1848 he sold the book and art store's range to Eduard Schulte , who continued the business under the name J. Buddeus'sche Buch- und Kunsthandlung (Ed. Schulte) . The gallery at Alleestraße 42 in Düsseldorf also came into his hands , where it played an important role in the German art trade as the Eduard Schulte Gallery . Buddeus continued the publishing business himself until his death in 1873.

As a music lover and poet , Buddeus had relationships with the composer Robert Schumann . Schumann set his poems Resignation and Die Meerfee to music in 1850 (Op. 83) and 1850/1851 (Op. 125).
After Buddeus died in 1873, his widow Pauline, née Krönig, continued the business until 1877, initially giving her son Carl and, after his departure, Emil Heckenbach in 1875, the power of attorney. On December 1, 1877, she sold the publishing business to Ludwig Ebner, the owner of Ebner & Seubert, who moved the business to Stuttgart.
