Peter Jakob Stübben (born December 12, 1830 in Düsseldorf , † August 6, 1902 in Düsseldorf) was a German master tailor . He was a royal Prussian purveyor to the court as well as a master tailor to His Majesty the King Karl of Romania , whose two sons lived in Jägerhof Palace and attended the Royal High School in Düsseldorf. Stübben was also master tailor of the Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen , Prince Karl of Hesse , etc. Peter Jacob Stübben is shown in the Düsseldorf address book in 1889 as master tailor, court supplier for men's clothing and owner of the company JP Stübben.

August Dahm describes him as follows:

“He knew how to work his way up through diligence and skill; so much so that the high nobility and everything else that belonged to society considered it an honor to work for him (...) The following delightful story is characteristic of Stübben's manner, that of one of his friends, the old man who is still alive today Merchant W. happened. One day he received cloth from Aachen and asked Stübben to make a suit for him. Stübben agreed to this; the suit was made. Afterwards W. was probably not a little astonished when he received an invoice for as much as 168 marks - Stübben used to take roughly double prices - and asked him whether there was some mistake here. Stübben looked at the bill and said in his dry manner that the bill was correct. When W. replied in astonishment that he had supplied him with the material for the suit himself, Stübben replied: 'If you take a piece of canvas and go to the Achenbach and if you drop a picture, then the canvas won't count you , ' with which he just wanted to say that he only let himself be paid for his art, whereby it would remain (...) Since otherwise not much reminds him of him (...) Stübben played a role in Düsseldorf for more than a generation ( ...) has done some good, should be thought of at this point. "

Life

Peter Jakob Stübben, son of the clothes maker Ferdinand Stübben and Johanne Magdalene Josefa Brück († 1832), was born in Düsseldorf. His mother died when Peter Jacob was not yet two years old, giving birth to his sister Marie Jacob Stübben. The first known address of his father Stübben in Düsseldorf was Bolkerstraße, at that time No. 466. At the end of the 1850s, Peter Jakob Stübben was a trained tailor with the address at Flinger Straße 28 and as such moved to Bolkerstraße 31 in the early 1860s the company PJ Stübben entered in the Düsseldorf company register.

On October 16, 1863, he married Maria Babette, born in Düsseldorf. Rodeck (born February 3, 1843 in Frankfurt am Main, † March 27, 1864 in Düsseldorf). She suffered a tragic death. He regularly went to the train station every morning, and in the warmer months to the Düsseldorf Ananasberg in the Hofgarten to have coffee. Living with a studio in the house at Alleestraße 40, Stübben also acquired the neighboring house No. 38, which was uninhabited around 1887. In 1902 he died a wealthy man. Since he had left no will, his fortune and his company were inherited by his only sister, the widow Wilhelm Götschenberg. In 1908 she transferred the company to her son Wilhelm Peter Götschenberg. In 1910 the company was converted into an oHG . In 1925 the son Götschenberg died and the company was later converted into a limited partnership . Paul Götschenberg, a well-known local politician in Düsseldorf, is an extensive family member.

From September 12, 1864 until his death he was registered at Alleestraße 40. The Düsseldorf address book names Stübben as the owner of the house at Alleestraße 38 from 1883 to 1900. Peter Jacob Stübben's residential and commercial building at Alleestraße 38 in Düsseldorf is both historically and architecturally remarkable. The house is mentioned both by Heinrich Ferber in Historical Walk through the Old City of Düsseldorf and by the Düsseldorf Architects and Engineers Association in Düsseldorf and its buildings . Stübben had the architect Philipp Fischer build a new building based on the “forms of the early German Renaissance” ( northern Renaissance ), with “effective facades” made of sandstone. In place of the two houses that were destroyed during the Second World War , there are now new buildings and reconstructions. Up until a few years ago, the keystone on the new building No. 40 was located above the entrance as a company sign. The HSBC Trinkaus Bank is based in this building today. The front of house no. 38 is to be restored in the area of ​​the ground floor.

When only the elevator at Heinrich-Heine-Allee 38 was supposed to be repaired in 2014, the original Art Nouveau facade with rose ornaments and the signature of Peter Jacob Stübben was rediscovered rather by chance. "The rose ornament, modeled on the Hildesheim rose as a symbol of eternal love," is intended to commemorate his wife, who died early, and can be found in various parts of the house. The iron bars of the old banister are also modeled on small rose bushes. The Düsseldorf owners had the ground floor facade restored according to the historical model and brought in line with the modern facade of the upper floors. Original Oberkirchen sandstone was used to create the archway above the entrance. The vault decorated with flower tendrils with beautiful old arches has been painstakingly restored. The shop window frames were renovated in natural stone. The natural stone of the rest of the facade could not be restored, among other things because of the great destruction during the war. The sandstone was also exposed inside the two shops to match the modern facilities.
