About Anton Daniel Pehmöller (source: wikipedia):

Anton Daniel Pehmöller (* 5. January 1802 in Hamburg; † 15 March 1874 in Hamburg-Hamm) was a German merchant, owner of the trading house AD Pehmöller and President of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce in 1850 and 1851.

Family: Pehmöller comes from a respected Hamburg merchant family, which originated in his grandfather, the confectioner Cord Nicolaus Pehmöller. He was the son of his father of the same name, the merchant Anton Daniel Pehmöller (1772-1826) and Dorothea Wilhelmine, nee. from Döhren. His cousin Franz Hinrich Pehmöller was superintendent of the Berlin Mission Society in South Africa. Pehmöller married on 10. December 1839 his cousin Therese Philippine Pehmöller (b. 1811), daughter of his uncle, the Hamburg senator and banker Christian Nicolas Pehmöller (1769-1845) and his wife Pauline Eleonore, b. Mayer (1782-1872). Together they had one daughter, Pauline Theresia Antonia (b. 1845).

Life:Like his father, Pehmöller founded a trading house at Alter Wandrahm 26 in 1826 after taking the oath of citizenship. In 1832, the company was briefly converted into a trading partnership, but by 1837 he was the sole owner again. He later moved to Dammtorstraße 35, but kept his office in Alter Wandrahm. From 1841 to 1846 he was also an elected commercial judge. His attempts to be elected to the Commerzdeputation from 1840 on the proposal of the Commerzdeputation and the assembly of an honorable merchant had ended on April 4th. Finally successful in December 1847. As a deputy of commerce, he was sent to the excise deputation (1848), customs deputation (1848) and brokerage regulations (1848-1851), as well as to the bank deputation (1849). On 2. In February 1850 he was elected president for one year. After his successor Robert Flor had to give up this office after only 2 months, Pehmöller again took over the management of today's Chamber of Commerce in 1851.

During his tenure, attention was drawn to the Chamber of Commerce's rejection of the founding of a German Customs Union, which the Hamburg Senate wanted to approve at the Dresden Conferences in 1850/1851 after the failure of the Customs Union. As a result, Hamburg did not join until 1888.

Other honorary posts: Pehmöller was a committed free trader and verifiably a member of the Association for Freedom of Trade from 1848. He was also a committed Freemason, was admitted to the "Ferdinand zum Felsen" lodge in 1825, made a master in 1835 and led it from 1836 to 1838 as master from the chair. At the same time, Pehmöller was an honorary member of the "Carl zum Felsen" lodge in Altona.
