Ludwig Schmederer
Ludwig Schmederer (born October 10, 1846 in Munich , † October 21, 1935 in Salzburg ) was a German entrepreneur and patron.
Life
Schmederer studied law from 1865 at the University of Munich . In 1866 he was reciprocated in the Corps Suevia Munich . When he was consenior and twice a senior , Richard Wagner frequented Suevia. In his honor, young Swabians sang one of the sailors' choirs from The Flying Dutchman in the Nordendhalle in 1864 and 1865 , once conducted by Wagner himself. Under Schmederer's seniorate in the winter semester of 1867/68, Suevia became a weapon corps . This was particularly remarkable because at that time the Bavarian Patriot Party fought against everything that was not white and blue.
After completing his studies, he joined his father's company, which had international reputation for its Salvator beer. Under Schmederer, the company grew steadily until it was finally transferred to the Paulanerbräu-Salvatorbrauerei corporation . In 1887 Schmederer moved to Parsch (Salzburg) , where he bought the “Apothekerhof”. The Rehlinger had built it 200 years earlier as a country house. The 4726 hectare property included three farms at the foot of the Gaisberg . According to plans by Josef Wessicken , he had Valentin Ceconi build the Villa Schmederer for him . As a member of the Salzburg Equestrian Association, he owned a stud and a horse racing track. Salzburg's provincial president Sigmund von Thun und Hohenstein and the painter Franz Xaver von Pausinger approached Schmederer in 1890 with the request to save the Salzburg Art Association , which was in great financial difficulties . Schmederer agreed and headed the association as president and honorary president for 37 years. In 1895 he was one of the founders of the Salzburg Corpsphilisterverband.
Having remained childless in two marriages and surprisingly died at the age of 89, the "King of Parsch" was buried in the family crypt in Munich's Old South Cemetery. The funeral procession was led by the Paulaner-Thomasbräu AG operating group. It was followed by the Munich Schwaben in full color, although the Corps already the suspension had been forced.
