Max Greve
Max Greve (born August 9, 1815 in Castrop , † July 12, 1873 in Bochum ; full name: Adolf Theodor Karl Maximilian Greve ) was a German administrative lawyer . From 1842 to 1873 he was mayor of the city of Bochum.
Life
After graduating from high school in 1835 at the Paulinum in Münster , Greve studied law at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn from October 1835 to graduation in August 1838. When the district town of Bochum introduced the “Revised City Code” in 1842, it advertised a position as mayor. Greve was elected by the city council on December 30, 1842.
Greve was married twice. In 1846 Greve married Henriette Theresia Catharina Baumann from Dorsten . A daughter was born the following year. When the daughter was barely a year old, the mother died in 1848. In 1852 he married Julia Lucia von Stockhausen , daughter of the manor owner Franz Florens von Stockhausen (1780–1852) on Gut Stockhausen near Meschede for the second time . The marriage produced four sons and one daughter. One of the sons was Julius Greve , an engineer who was one of the initiators of the Ruhr Canalization Association and who made the first designs for a water wedge lift .
When Greve died in 1873, he had played a key role in shaping the city's transformation from an agricultural town to an industrial location and the expansion of the infrastructure over the course of 30 years. The register of the Provost Church of St. Peter and Paul lists typhus as the cause of death.
At the old cemetery on the road Wittener be cenotaph still is. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry Middle Ruhr Area in Bochum named the award for the best apprentice of a year after him.
