Life

Richard Kampf was born in 1859. His parents were Wilhelm Kampf (* October 4, 1830 in Elberfeld ; † March 27, 1877 in Sanremo ) and his wife Emilie, née Spindler (* August 2, 1837 in Elberfeld; † October 13, 1919 in Hilden). Both parents came from industrial families who had had business ties with each other since 1832. The grandfathers Johann Wilhelm Kampf (* 1799 in Elberfeld; † 10 August 1875 in Hilden) and Johann Christian Spindler (* 27 July 1801 in Kassel ; † 29 January 1881 in Hilden) had the Kampf & Spindler company as their office in Elberfeld founded for home weavers.

At Easter 1877 Kampf finished his school education with the Abitur at the secondary school of the first order attached to the Arnoldinum Gymnasium in Burgsteinfurt . At the same time, on March 27, 1877 (Tuesday before Easter), Kampf's father died at the age of only 39 during a stay in Sanremo. Richard Kampf had no training at this point. As a result, his uncle Gustav Adolph Spindler (* August 9, 1839; † April 18, 1895) took over the sole management of the silk weaving mill, Kampf & Spindler, in Hilden, which had been part of the family until then.

After going to school, Kampf studied with Conrad Wilhelm Hase in Hanover until 1882 at the Polytechnic School, which was expanded into the Royal Technical University in 1879 . During his studies he became a founding member of the Bauhütte zum Weißen Blatt in Hanover in 1880 .

Richard Kampf was married to Elisabeth Schirmer (born September 16, 1860 in Kassel), a daughter of the banker Heinrich Bernhard Philipp Schirmer (born September 13, 1829 in Eiterhagen ; † September 24, 1900 in Kassel). He died in an accident in front of his home in Lüneburg in 1919. He was a member of the Lüneburg Freemason Lodge Selene to the three towers .
