Karl Victor Emanuel Joseph Gielen (born October 21, 1825 in Eupen , † September 29, 1887 in Bremen ) was a cigar manufacturer, tobacco dealer and member of the German Reichstag .
Life
Victor Gielen attended the city school in Eupen and the provincial trade school in Aachen and initially worked as a railroad technician until 1849. Later he founded a cigar factory in Aachen. In Aachen he was a member of the Chamber of Commerce and President of the “Constantia” center association. He was also a member of the Aachen city council, where he mainly worked on the finance committee. From 1873 he continued to be a member of the Central Committee of the Rhenish Center Party. In 1878 he took over the Meyer & Krose company, a successful raw tobacco trading company in Bremen, and therefore moved away from Aachen. Between 1878 and his death he was a member of the German Reichstag for the German Center Party and the constituency of Aachen-Stadt.
He died in Bremen in 1887 as a result of a stroke. His son from his marriage to Therese Menshausen is the future mayor of Mönchengladbach and Neuss, Franz Gielen . Victor Gielen is often confused with the Eupen pastor and historian of the same name.
