Peter Ludwig Mohr

Peter Ludwig Mohr (born June 6, 1790 in Trier ; † November 23, 1872 there ) was a Trier businessman and politician.

Peter Ludwig Mohr was the second child of the married couple Ludwig Weyprecht Mohr and Anna Maria Benedicta, geb. Lintz, born. Mohr acquired the title of Commerce Councilor and was also politically active during the Vormärz period . He was considered ultra-liberal. For a long time he was a member of the provincial parliament and in 1847 also a member of the united state parliament.

On November 24, 1812, he married Anna Christina Hayn, the daughter of the "Moselle King" Matthias Joseph Hayn , at the Josephshof in Graach . This property, bought by his father-in-law in 1803, he sold to the Count of Kesselstatt in 1858 . From 1851 to 1861 he lived in America, where he acquired further property.

Mohrs Josephshof

The so-called Josephshof by Matthias Joseph Hayn was once owned by the newly founded St. Martin Abbey in Trier in 975 and could be bought cheaply after the secularization. When he sold Mohr 58,000 thalers. The monopoly of the Josephshöfer wine was first mentioned in a document over a thousand years ago. In 1168 Archbishop Hillin reported that the court had already been donated to the monastery by Magnerich, who died in 596; at least when it was founded it was part of the abbey property. In 1830 the Josephshöfer wine was praised as exemplary. Today there is a living and working place for the mentally handicapped on Peter Ludwig Mohr's former winery.
