Johann Daniel Lawaetz (born February 19, 1750 in Rendsburg ; † October 7, 1826 on his country estate near Neumühlen ) was a German businessman and Danish budget adviser.
Life
Johann Daniel Lawaetz stayed from 1762–1772 for commercial training at the company "Pierre His" in Hamburg . After various trips abroad, he settled in Altona as a dealer and manufacturer in 1778 . In 1793 he bought himself in Neumühlen near Ottensen and set up several important industrial companies.
He was a philanthropist and social reformer and guided by the ideas of the French Revolution .
He was the son of Hinrich Franz Lawätz (1715–1762) and Hed (e) wig Christiane, geb. Otte. His brothers were Christian Otto Lawätz (1745-1800), Heinrich Wilhelm Lawätz (1748-1825) and Ferdinand Otto Vollrath Lawätz (1751-1840).
Johann Daniel Lawaetz was buried in the old churchyard of the Christian church in Hamburg-Ottensen .
Services
Johann Daniel Lawaetz became a successful businessman and textile industrialist, was enterprising and very committed to society. From the knowledge of the connection between state and economic crises and their effects, especially for what he saw as the "lower classes of the population", Lawaetz derived the necessity of a state labor policy .
In 1807 he transferred the management of his business to Heinrich Friedrich Lawätz (1791-1852) to the son of his brother Heinrich Wilhelm Lawätz.
In 1815 the book appeared with the title: On the care of the state for its poor and needy . The core idea of his writing was not to fight unemployment, poverty and homelessness with alms, but with "opportunity and means" that "get him (the needy) on the path of employment he wants", that is, help for self-help .
Lawaetz was director of the Friedrichsgabe poor colony , which he founded in 1821 and from which today's district of Norderstedt developed. He was also vice-president of the "Schleswig-Holstein Patriotic Society" founded by him in 1812 (see commemorative coin from 1827) as well as a sponsor of the poor relief institutes.
Lawaetz Foundation
During his lifetime Lawaetz suggested the creation of an institute. Founded nonprofit Johann Daniel Lawaetz Foundation (short Lawaetz Foundation ) as a foundation under civil law in 1986 by the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. The Hanseatic city made the Lawaetz House, Neumühlen 16-20, at the foot of the Elbe slope available as foundation capital. This elongated house was built in 1802 as part of a larger factory complex. Reconditioned between 1986 and 1989 in a form suitable for historical monuments, the Lawaetz House offers space for office and consultation rooms as well as for exhibitions and events.
The aim of the Hamburg-based foundation, according to its own statement, is to enable socially and economically disadvantaged groups of people to gain access to the labor, training and housing market through innovative methods of mobilizing self-organization potential:
"The task of the foundation is to initiate and promote projects that create living, working and training opportunities for socially disadvantaged people on the basis of the aims of the umbrella organizations for voluntary welfare."
Since 1987, the Lawaetz Foundation has been promoting residential and tenant groups who repair old buildings themselves and thus maintain or create affordable living space. As an additional task, the Lawaetz Foundation took over the management of urban properties in 1988 and transferred it to Johann Daniel Lawaetz-Stadtentwicklungs-GmbH . In 1990 the Lawaetz Foundation acquired a large part of the Falkenried terraces with the help of public funds and handed them over to the Falkenried tenants' cooperative for self-administration.
Since 2008, the Hamburg state coordination office for the advisory network against right-wing extremism has been part of the Lawaetz Foundation. After an initial phase of consolidation, the establishment and coordination of a mobile advisory team at Arbeit und Leben Hamburg e. V. and the DGB-Jugend Nord .
In addition to Johann Daniel Lawaetz-Stadtentwicklungs GmbH, there is another wholly-owned subsidiary of the foundation, Lawaetz-Service GmbH , which has been involved in housing construction for the homeless since around 1995.
The Lawaetz Foundation has owned the Rote Flora since 2014 .
