Wilhelm Ganslandt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Ganslandt (born December 27, 1800 in Lübeck ; † November 26, 1867 there ) was a merchant and councilor from Lübeck.

Life

Wilhelm Ganslandt was the son of Lübeck councilor Röttger Ganslandt . He continued the family business under the company Wwe. Ganslandt & Goetze . In 1828 he became a member of the merchant company and in 1833 its senior man . Ganslandt became councilor in Lübeck in 1840, but resigned in 1844 because of a nervous problem.

Already a senator, he married Thekla von Evers in 1842 and thus became the son-in-law of Lübeck's mayor Christian Nicolaus von Evers . This created the untenable situation after the citizens' recession of 1669, when the father-in-law and son-in-law were both members of the Lübeck City Council. Until Ganslandt left the council for health reasons, both council members remained. According to Fehling, it was noted in the Lübeck files that Ganslandt belonged to the merchant company, while von Evers was a member of the circle society , "to whose members the provisions of the recess according to imperial privileges are not applicable."

His younger brother Conrad Ganslandt became a merchant and became a member of Lübeck's citizenship.
