Sören Christian Fuglsang

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sören Christian Fuglsang (born October 27, 1815 in Örstedt , † January 31, 1904 in Alt-Hadersleben ) was a Danish farmer and brewery owner.

Life

Sören Christian Fuglsang was a member of the Fuglsang family, a son of Hans Christian Fuglsang (born November 21, 1787 in Hadersleben ; † September 11, 1856 in Middelfart ) and his wife Mette Nicoline , née Hoirup (born March 25, 1778 in Copenhagen ; † April 21, 1846 in Schottburg ). The father worked as a teacher in Örstedt and from 1817 in Skodborg . The mother was a daughter of the pastor Søren Hoirup (1743-1824) and his wife Birgitte Christine, née Lund (1746-1815).

Fuglsang spent his childhood in Skodborg in a family that was strongly influenced by the mother and in which standard Danish was spoken. Since his parents had planned that their son should become a teacher, the father taught him German. However, Fuglsang evidently showed no will to take up this profession. After his confirmation in 1831, he began training in agriculture in Drenderupgaard. It was about 200 hectares of ancestral farm belonging to the Drenderup estate, which had been parceled out in 1793. Born in Hamburg, Conrad Vogel (1793–1879) bought the property during the agricultural crisis in 1827.

Fuglsang later became the administrator of Drenderupgaard and part of the German cultural area. During the Schleswig-Holstein uprising , he supported the German-minded Schleswig-Holsteiners and thus got into a conflict with his father, who was on the Danish side. In 1847 he received 50 hectares of land, which were separated from the main courtyard. The following year he had the Drenderup Nygaard farm built there. He successfully opened a distillery, malt kiln and brickworks and co-founded the agricultural association for northern Schleswig .

During the German-Danish War , Fuglsang sided with the Germans. When, after the preliminary peace on August 1, it was foreseeable that several parishes in Schleswig in the area of ​​Kolding would be exchanged for Jutian enclaves in the Duchy of Schleswig and given to Denmark, Fuglsang and Vogel were the first to sign a petition on August 21, 1864, which they probably would had written themselves. In it, around twenty of the larger farm owners in the affected region asked the Supreme Civil Authority for the Duchy of Schleswig that not only the small number of residents should be heavily burdened by this exchange. Instead, the entire population of the duchies should provide monetary compensation with which the enclaves could be bought.

As an elected member of a commission, Fuglsang went to Berlin , where he unsuccessfully explained the proposal to Otto von Bismarck and the concerns of those affected. After the peace treaty of Vienna , among other things, the parish Ödnis with Drenderupgaard went from Schleswig to Denmark. Fuglsang separated from the property in the same year and bought two farms in Alt-Hadersleben, where he moved his residence. He had problems with a new economic start and an ailing wife who often had to go to health resorts.

One of the farms acquired by Fuglsang had a brewery, which was probably only intended for domestic use. Since there was no modern brewery in Hadersleben that produced "Bavarian", i.e. bottom-fermented, storable and transportable beer, Fuglsang opened a corresponding company in 1865 without any specialist knowledge. He quickly ran into problems due to an unreliable employed brewmaster and the worsening economic situation of his life. He only made a profit when he accepted his sons, who had trained as brewers, into the company.

In 1879 Fuglsang opened its own small malt house . In 1893 he transferred his Fuglsang brewery to his sons and from then on lived as a private citizen.

family

Fuglsang married Mathilde Johanne Christine Thorsager Borden in Drenderupgaard in 1849 (* 23 August 1831 in Kolding ; † 20 January 1889 in Alt-Hadersleben). She was a niece of Conrad Vogel's wife, who grew up on Drenderupgaard. Her father Nils Borgen (1785–1831) worked as a castle gardener in Kolding and was married to Mathilde, née Warberg (1795–1831).

The Fuglsang couple had a daughter and five sons.
