Marcus Johann Nebbien , also Markus Johannes Nebbien (born January 27, 1755 in Lübeck ; † February 9, 1836 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German merchant and Frankfurt newspaper publisher .

Life

Nebbien, who ran a trading business in Copenhagen , met Anna Maria Jung - presumably during a visit to the Frankfurt trade fair - and the couple married in 1783. Jung was the daughter of the bookseller and publisher Johann David Jung, who died in 1773, and the stepdaughter of the Frankfurt lawyer Johann Gottlieb Dietz and co-heir of the "Franckfurter Frag- und Anzeigungsnachrichten" founded in 1722. It was one of the oldest German-language advertising papers and appeared twice a week.

After his marriage, Nebbien moved to Frankfurt, worked alongside his trading business on Liebfrauenberg , in the newspaper and publishing industry and, after his wife's death in 1787, took over the publishing and newspaper business. From 1806 he continued the advertising paper under the new title "Intelligence Gazette of the Free City of Frankfurt". In the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt Nebbiens Zeitung could continue to appear because of its apolitical stance, while all other Frankfurter papers were banned.

The now temporarily unrivaled position gave Nebbien considerable profits, which he invested in 1807 for reasons of speculation in the purchase of seven lots in the abandoned Frankfurt ramparts with a size of nine acres . At the "Hohen Strasse" (today Hochstrasse) he auctioned properties 10–22, which he sold to interested parties from 1826 onwards. He only had a multi-storey house built on the front of the street on the elongated property "Hohe Strasse 18" . He had already built a square garden house on the north side of the parcel, which was later expanded, was preserved over time and is still called Nebbian’s garden house today . After Nebbien's death, the family sold the property and his nephew Johannes Gottlieb Holzwart continued the intelligence paper. After 1910 it was called " Frankfurter Nachrichten und Intellektiven-Blatt ".

Marcus Johann Nebbien was the nephew of the horticulturist Christian Heinrich Nebbien .
