Valentin von Schübler

Valentin Schübler , from 1837 from Schübler , (born September 11, 1794 in Heilbronn , † May 15, 1862 in Stuttgart ) was a mountain ridge and coinage in Württemberg .

Life

He was the son of the Mayor of Heilbronn, Christian Ludwig Schübler , who had come to Stuttgart via Ellwangen after the transition of the imperial city of Heilbronn to Württemberg , where Valentin graduated from high school. He then joined the mounted guard battery in Ludwigsburg as a cadet , where he made it to the position of artillery officer. From 1818 he studied at the University of Tübingen , the University of Göttingen and Freiberg mathematics , physics , chemistry , mineralogy , cameralism and mountain - and Metallurgy . After a study trip to mining and smelting works in northern Germany, Schübler became assessor at the royal mountain in Stuttgart in 1822 . In 1823 he became Wuerttemberg mint guards , which gave him control over the production of all Wuerttemberg and all foreign coins in circulation. In 1832 he was named a real mountain ridge and went on a study trip to England and France, which dealt with the conditions of the local mining and metallurgy industry. In 1837 he was the Württemberg representative at the Munich Coin Convention and was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of the Württemberg Crown for his services there by King Wilhelm I of Württemberg , which was associated with the personal nobility.

Schübler has published widely on topics related to mining and metallurgy as well as coinage and general economic topics. In the 1850s, he made several proposals for a German coin constitution and coin agreement. His publications on the exchange of money and securities are considered to pave the way for the economic boom in Württemberg in the 19th century.

His first marriage was from 1828 to Elisabeth Maria Keller (1805–1846) from Göppingen. The marriage had two sons and four daughters. In his second marriage he married Thekla Auguste Walther (1806-1881) in Nürtingen in 1848.
