Otto Rudolph Friedrich Christian Kaysel (born October 7, 1843 in Güstrow ; June 13, 1937 in Ludwigslust ) was a German lawyer, city councilor and writer.

Life

Otto Kaysel was born in 1843 as the son of the educator Louis Kaysel (1810–1877) and his wife Dorothea, née. Gaedt (1813–1899), born in Güstrow. After attending school in Boizenburg and Kröpelin, where his father was the rector of the community school at the time, he studied law at the universities of Rostock and Tübingen. After studying and doing his doctorate, he settled in Ludwigslust in 1869 as a lawyer and notary. When Ludwigslust was granted town charter in 1876, Kaysel was elected 1st Senator of the Magistrate and was town councilor until 1920. When he retired, he was made an honorary citizen of the city and a street was named after him. During his tenure, a large part of the city's economic upswing fell, such as the development as a transport hub through the opening of several railway lines, the construction of the slaughterhouse and a meat factory and flourishing housing construction.

In addition to his work as a senator, Otto Kaysel was also very committed to culture. He had been a member of the Association for Mecklenburg History and Archeology since 1882, and he was particularly interested in the Ludwigslust town history. He has published articles about the city as well as numerous articles on cultural history and also poems in the Mecklenburg monthly magazines .

Otto Kaysel was married to Ottilie Hedwig, born in 1873. Josephy. The marriage had five children: Hedwig (* 1874), Ottilie Frieda Theodora (* 1875), Richard (* 1877), Paul Franz Wilhelm Ludwig (* 1879) and Antonie Anna Hermine (* 1881). After several vacations on the Baltic Sea, the family bought the house at Dorfstrasse 14 in Ahrenshoop in 1896 as a summer residence. Here he was known to Paul Müller-Kaempff and Georg Ludwig Meyn , with whom his daughter Ottilie had already received painting lessons there and in Berlin. The house quickly developed into a meeting point for artists. In 1904, Kaysel was co-founder and first chairman of the Ahrenshoop Association for charitable purposes, and here, too, his work in the development of the community and the Ahrenshoop artists' colony was visible. Otto Kaysel died in Ludwigslust in 1937 at an old age.
