Michael Christian Goering

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Christian Göring (born December 23, 1694 in Rügenwalde in Western Pomerania ; † July 3, 1763 in Hagen in Westphalia ) was a German administrative officer and promoter of industry .

Göring was supported by his uncle Johannes Goering, mayor and lawyer in Wittstock , who had him study law at the universities of Frankfurt an der Oder and Rostock since 1713 . In Berlin he entered the civil service and became a clerk at the General Auditor v. Katsch, then auditor and at the same time informator for the Crown Prince. He owed the latter his position as regimental quartermaster in Wesel , which he took up in 1722 and which he retained until 1742. In 1731 he received the title of war council and the right to an office in the royal administration. In 1742 he was promoted to the real tax council and local commissioner for the Brandenburg cities south of the Ruhr . His area of ​​responsibility included the control of taxation and trade as well as the supervision of the municipal magistrates. The official seat was initially Bochum , from 1745 Hagen. Through him, Hagen received an urban constitution.

He made a contribution to promoting entrepreneurship in his Brandenburg area. He paid particular attention to the stabilization and syndication of the wire industry and to the revival of brass production . He brought Bergische manufacturers into the Mark and ensured that the masterminds were freed from military service. In 1744, together with the mayor of Altena JM Goecke, he founded the syndicate for Altenaer wire factories, the wire stacking company. His organizational activities led to a strong economic boom in the wire and oesemund trade. In Iserlohn , in cooperation with the local mayor JG Lecke, he succeeded in restarting calamine mining and thus revitalizing the brass industry. He enforced a protective tariff for brass. He became chairman of the newly founded brass union, which in 1751 was enfeoffed with all of the Galmeil deposits in Iserlohn and Hemer .

Göring himself also participated in mining companies. He was a trader at six coal mines and at the Herscheid copper and silver mine . He ensured the maintenance of the Sundwig iron smelter . He also campaigned for the first cloth scissors factory in Prussia founded by Johann Caspar Funcke (* 1761; † 1835) , one of the first companies with a vertical structure. In 1755 he was appointed War and Domain Council, which resulted in a concentration of his sphere of activity. During the Seven Years' War , Göring was abducted twice as a hostage to Düsseldorf by the French . The wire and oesemund industry suffered a downturn during this period. Goering could no longer experience the phase of their reactivation.

Göring was the great-great-grandfather of the National Socialist politician Hermann Göring (1893-1946).
