Ludwig Berringer
Ludwig Berringer (born February 27, 1851 in Rostock , † May 3, 1913 in Bad Kissingen ; full name: Ludwig Gustav Fritz Berringer ) was a German building contractor and court architect.
Life
Ludwig Berringer was a son of the seaman and later confectioner Gustav Heinrich Berringer and his wife Wendula Dorothea Sophia Gaedt. His paternal great-grandmother was Christina Sophia Mann (1741–1807), a member of the Rostock branch of the Mann family , who later became known in their Lübeck branch through several writers. Ludwig Berringer attended the large city school in Rostock and then went on to become a bricklayer. He founded a bricklaying business and established a leading position in his trade. He was appointed court mason and acquired a brickyard and ancestral farm in Papendorf . Berringer owned a building materials factory on Reifergraben in Rostock. Here he made stucco ornaments and small components from plaster of paris and English concrete. He further developed the manufacturing process and was the first building contractor in Mecklenburg to use industrial methods in construction. In his company precast concrete parts were mass-produced. In 1878 Ludwig Berringer married the Rostock confectioner's daughter Martha Sophie Elise Keil in Bad Kissingen. One of the couple's sons was the Rostock City Planning Director Gustav Wilhelm Berringer . The company continued to exist under the name L. Berringer Nachf. Even after his death.
Political activity
In 1885 Berringer was appointed to represent the Rostock craftsmen in the second quarter of the Hundred Men College , a forerunner of the Rostock citizenship. In 1904 he was elected first chairman of the citizens' council. He held this office until 1912. During this time he was a member of the building committee, the school commission, the theater deputation and the school patronage for the citizens of the city. When in 1909 an architectural competition for the new building of a health resort in Warnemünde was announced, Ludwig Berringer was a member of the jury. During his term of office, Rostock underwent extensive development in the course of industrialization with the construction of suburbs to the south and west, as well as the expansion of the port and ferry traffic to Denmark. After Ludwig Berringer got into violent disputes over competence with the mayor Magnus Maßmann , he resigned his office in the local council on November 12, 1912 and withdrew from political life. He died while relaxing in Bad Kissingen. His grave is in the former Rostock Old Cemetery, today's Lindenpark.
