Wilhelm Tecklenborg
Wilhelm Tecklenborg (born December 26, 1882 in Geestemünde , † June 8, 1948 in Bremen) was a German businessman and automobile industrialist in the 1920s and 1930s.
biography
Tecklenborg was the eldest son of the shipowner Eduard Tecklenborg (1849-1926), later a partner in the Joh. C. Tecklenborg shipyard in Geestemünde and Wesermünde , and his Norwegian wife Anna Katharina Fleischer (1850-1892) from Bergen. He was married to Jenny Tecklenborg, née Döhle (1881–1974) and had three children.
Wilhelm Tecklenborg was the general agent of North German Lloyd in Naples until 1915 . In 1925 he took a stake in his business partner Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Borgward and was responsible for the commercial management until he left. In 1928 he founded Goliath-Werke Borgward & Co. together with Borgward . After their merger with Hansa-Lloyd Werke AG , the company was "Hansa-Lloyd and Goliath-Werke Borgward & Tecklenborg oHG " from December 31, 1931 .
In order to get a broader financial basis, Borgward and Tecklenborg, together with four other Bremen merchants, founded a stock corporation with five million Reichsmark share capital in 1936 , which was called Hansa-Lloyd-Goliath Werke AG . As Borgward soon felt patronized by his new partners and wanted to take over the management alone, this AG was dissolved again just a year later. Wilhelm Tecklenborg in particular had financial concerns about the rapid expansion and feared for his money. When the corporation was dissolved on September 11, 1937, he received four million Reichsmarks as a severance payment , which, taking inflation into account, corresponds to today's purchasing power of around 17,330,000 euros.
From 1928 to 1937 Tecklenborg was a member of the supervisory board of Bremer Tauwerk-Fabrik AG and later also a partner in the company.
The remaining years until his death he devoted to his family, his private investments and honorary positions, as well as his hunt in Bahrenborstel .
Wilhelm Tecklenborg was buried in the Tecklenborg family grave in the Waller Friedhof in Bremen.
