Paul from Andreae
Christoph Paul Andreae , from 1909 Paul von Andreae , (born April 2, 1850 in Mülheim ; † February 16, 1922 at Gut Mielenforst , Cologne-Dellbrück ) was a German industrialist and landowner from Cologne .
Family history
Paul Andreae came from a Protestant textile merchant family from Mülheim, which at the time of his birth did not yet belong to Cologne. His great-great-great-grandfather Christian Andreae (1665–1742), who originally came from Frankfurt, had founded a silk and linen factory in Cologne in 1687 , which moved to Mülheim in 1714; He also ran a commission and wine trade.
The reason for Andreae's move to Mülheim was the restrictive policy of the city of Cologne: Protestants could not become members of a Cologne guild and were also subject to further professional restrictions. Thereupon ten major Protestant merchants settled on the other side of the Rhine to Mülheim, which at that time still belonged to the Duchy of Berg and in turn granted Protestants economic privileges. The emigrated wholesalers and manufacturers made competition with the Cologne residents with their trade relations with the Lower Rhine and the Netherlands. Andreaes sons founded a velvet and silk production in 1763 , which was known throughout Europe at the latest a generation later. One grandson, Christoph Andreae (1735–1804), married Maria Christina Katharina Scheibler (1740–1807), the youngest daughter of the founder of the Monschau cloth industry, Johann Heinrich Scheibler .
Social advancement
In 1870/71 Paul Andreae took part in the Franco-German War as an officer in the Bonn Royal Hussar Regiment No. 7 . In 1875 he became a partner in the family business and took over the management of the tape factory . In 1882 he bought the Mielenforst estate in what is now Cologne-Dellbrück, had some of the old buildings demolished and a new mansion built. With the winding up of the ribbon factory in 1886 for economic reasons, Andreae withdrew from the company and from then on devoted himself mainly to the management of the estate, especially horse breeding. In addition, the family owned a town house as a "winter apartment" on Neumarkt . In 1904 the estate was converted into a family entourage and in 1909 Paul Andreae was raised to hereditary nobility. As a manor owner at Gut Mielenforst, Andreae was a “born local councilor” of the Merheim mayor from 1883 until it was incorporated into Cologne in 1914. He also held the unpaid positions of 3rd alderman (1891–1897), 2nd alderman (1897) and 1. Alderman (1898–1914). He was also a member of the district council and the district committee of the Mülheim district as well as a member of the provincial parliament of the Prussian Rhine Province.
In 1905 Paul von Andreae was one of the founders of the "Colonie for small country houses in Weiden near Cologne" at the side of his uncle Otto Gustav Andreae , which until 1914 was under the technical direction of the Cologne architects Emil Wilhelm Schreiterer and Bernhard Traugott Below ( Schreiterer & Below ) between Aachener Straße and Lövenich train station a villa colony was built. Until 1910, Andreae was also a member of the supervisory board of the "Sinziger Mosaikplatten und Thonwaarenfabrik" in Sinzig am Rhein, whose predecessor was founded in 1869 with significant participation by the Andreae family and his father.
Work in Dellbrück
Andreae was involved in charities, politically and socially on site in Dellbrück and the neighboring communities, which were merged into Dellbrück in 1905 and incorporated into Cologne in 1914. In 1893 he offered the local council a donation to set up a kindergarten, but then he set up the "Paul Andreae Mielenforst Foundation" with 100,000 marks in capital to build a nursing home with a "child care facility", public pool and handicraft school. In addition, he helped finance the construction of the Protestant Christ Church, which was inaugurated in 1905 by donating the building site and the rectory and contributing 10,000 marks towards the construction costs. He was not only a member of the local council, but also several associations. As a patron, he supported the acquisition of works of art and historical documents. So he donated z. B. 1911 the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum together with other donors the picture “An Italian” by Wilhelm Leibl .
Family and private
Andreae was married to Emma Mathilde "Emmy" Peltzer from Belgium (born May 11, 1858 in Verviers ; † June 14, 1935 at Gut Mielenforst), sister of Édouard Henri Alexander Peltzer and daughter of Paul Nicolas Édouard Peltzer (1829–1903 ), a cloth manufacturer and city and provincial councilor of Verviers, who came from the Aachen-Stolberg entrepreneurial family Peltzer . The couple had three children, two sons and a daughter. The wife's dowry was so high that it could be used to finance the new construction of the estate. Emmy Andreae's sister, Olga , was married to the Bergisch Gladbach paper manufacturer Hans Wilhelm Zanders . The eldest son of Emmy and Paul Andreae, Christoph (1881–1914), died in the first days of the First World War ; he in turn was married to Ilse Henriette Helena von Mallinckrodt (1886-1940), a daughter of the Cologne industrialist Gustav von Mallinckrodt . Christoph's daughter Elisabeth Emmi "Lilly" by Andreae was married to the writer Max Christian Feiler (1904–1973) in Berlin and most recently in Munich. Her only daughter, Wilhelmine Else (1879–1962) had married a son of the Cologne sugar manufacturer Valentin Pfeifer in the estate owner Max Pfeifer (1875–1942) . Hans Kurt Eduard von Andreae (1885–1943), the youngest of the three children, lived as a merchant in London. The banker and amateur astronomer Heinrich Eduard von Lade was a maternal uncle of Paul von Andreae, and a paternal uncle of the painter Karl Christian Andreae .
Paul von Andreae died four years after the end of the First World War; he is buried in the family's private tomb near the estate. His wife Emmy survived him by 13 years.
