About Ernst Russ, his shipping company and the apprentice's grandfather (source: wikipedia):

Ernst Günther Russ (*4. December 1867; † 18. November 1957) was a German shipowner and founder of the Ernst Russ shipping company.

Career

Beginnings: Russ came to Hamburg in 1869 after an apprenticeship in Flensburg. He set up a freight department in Essen & Jacoby's Hamburg forwarding company and after a short time was given individual power of attorney. In 1892 Ernst Russ became the owner of the 665 GRT steamer Falke. The ship was lost just a year later. In this year, 1893, Ernst Russ became self-employed and was registered as “Ernst Russ Ship Broker” in the Hamburg commercial register. The initial basis of his company was the representation of the Flensburg-Stettiner Dampfschifffahrts-Gesellschaft, which ran a liner service from Hamburg to Finland. The agency developed rapidly after the opening of the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal in 1895 and Russ became an agent for other Baltic Sea shipping lines.

Ernst Russ married in 1898 and their daughter Tilly was born in 1899 as the Russ couple's only child. This year Russ opened a shipping department and bought the freight steamer Secunda (639 GRT), built in 1870, on behalf of a partner shipping company. In 1899 he received the new ship Martha Russ from the Rostock shipyard AG Neptun with 2,009 GRT. More cargo steamers followed and in 1914 16 ships sailed under the Ernst Russ flag. Four steamers were lost and two ships had to be delivered to the victorious powers of the First World War.

Period after the First World War: The 787 GRT steamer Sylt was the first post-war entry in 1919 and the No. 19 in the ship list of the shipping company Russ. The E. Russ was the lead ship in a series of seven freight steamers with 1,000 GRT (1,535 dwt) from the Stettiner Oderwerke. These ships, intended for the Baltic Sea, were delivered by 1922. This was followed by a series of three, also from the Stettiner Oderwerke, which were measured at 1,175 GRT and could carry 2,000 dwt.

Since 1922, Ernst Russ was supported in management by his son-in-law Paul Lorenz-Meyer. From 1926 he took on his brother Christian Wilhelm Russ as a partner, who, after completing an apprenticeship in the shipyard, had gone to sea to become a mechanical engineer at the Flensburger Schiffbau Gesellschaft. He took over the technical support of the ship fleet. In 1933 Dr. Riensberg partner who worked as an in-house counsel at Ernst Russ since 1923. Riensberg expanded the agency into one of Hamburg's largest liner agencies.

In 1934, Hapag acquired the Svenska Line with four freighters flying the Swedish flag, which were sold shortly afterwards. Ernst Russ took over the Hamburg-Rhine line with five ships from Hapag. With the Düsseldorf as the lead ship, four new ships were built as motor ships for this Rhine Lake service from the Flender Works. They were measured at 1,250 GRT, carried 1,400 dwt and had folding masts and low superstructures. In 1935 the agency of the German Levant Line was taken over, which also made the Mediterranean a catchment area for ships flying the Russian flag.

In 1937 and 1938 a new building with 2,957 GRT and 4,200 tdw came from the Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft, which was particularly suitable for timber transport. For propulsion, they were equipped with triple expansion engines and exhaust steam turbines with a nominal output of 2,000 PSi, which were manufactured by the construction shipyard. From 1939 the Finland trip was carried out together with HM Gehrkens and the Finnish shipowner Antti Wihuri. Further plans such as the entry into tanker shipping, a 15,000 tdw tanker had been ordered from Deutsche Werft, fell victim to the start of the war.

At the outbreak of the Second World War, 37 freighters were sailing under the Russian flag, of which 14 ships were sunk or went lost. 20 ships had to be delivered. Of the remaining ones, the Christian Russ, built in 1907, sank in the port of Hamburg. The shipping company's sister Helene Russ (1) and the motor freighter Norderney remained.

Third reconstruction of the shipping company: At the age of 78, Ernst Russ began the reconstruction for the third time with the support of his employees. In 1949 the cargo steamer Gisela Russ, built in 1919 as Zarembo, with 5,720 GRT and 7,632 dwt was the first purchase ship after the war and 61. Ship taken over by the shipping company. However, after three years it was sold to Walter Ritscher in Harburg for demolition.

The first new buildings after the war in 1950/51 were so-called Potsdam ships with 1,480 GRT, 2,830 dwt and a 1,200 PSi double compound engine with an exhaust steam turbine. The new ships Martha Russ (3) and Tilly Russ (2) came from the Flender shipyard and the E. Russ (3) from the Hamburg Howaldtswerke. The Reinhart Lorenz Russ also came from the Flender shipyard in 1951 and the Burg Sparrenberg (4,142 GRT, 7,200 dwt) from the Deutsche Werft, which was later looked after by Rudolf A. Oetker as a correspondent shipowner. The sister ship Anita was also delivered to Ernst Russ from the German shipyard in 1953. The lead ship of this successful series was the Vulkan, which was delivered to the Komrowski shipping company in 1952.

A further eleven ships followed until the Ernst G. Russ, which had been planned before the war, was able to begin tanker shipping in 1953. It was the second ship in a successful series from the Deutsche Werft of a total of eleven ships with 12,880 GRT and 18,300 dwt. With 7,200 hp, the motor tanker ran at a rated speed of 15.8 knots. The tanker Julius Schindler, operated by Ernst Russ for the re-established tank shipping company Julius Schindler, was the last ship in this series. In 1955 the shipping company received the motor freighter Wolfgang Russ (2,963 GRT, 5,330 dwt) from the Flender shipyard and in 1957 from the Nobiskrug shipyard, two freighters, the Nanni Russ and Helga Russ (1,373 GRT, 2,200 dwt), for the trip to Finland. The motor freighters Christian Russ from Flender and Johannes Russ (10,060 GRT, 15,000 dwt) from the Deutsche Werft were significantly larger. They were used to transport cars. Ernst Russ lived to see September 1957; he died on the 18th. November 1957 a few days before his 90th birthday. birthday and left his successors a thriving shipping company.

The name change was completed in July 2016 and Ernst Russ AG, formerly HCI Capital AG, is now a bank-independent, listed financial services company with a focus on asset management and investment management in the maritime economy. The company has locations in Hamburg, Bremen and Düsseldorf.

The Ernst Russ shipping company was founded in 1893 by Ernst Russ with its headquarters in Hamburg. The shipping company's office flag shows a star in front of the initials "ER", which goes back to a saying by the wife of the company's founder, Martha Russ, that a star should guide the company's path.

The ship sank in 1893. In 1899 the shipping company acquired its second steamship, the Secunda, built in 1870. Cargo steamer.

After the opening of the Kiel Canal in 1895, the shipowner established a liner service with his ships between Hamburg and the cities in Finland and Russia, in particular Turku, Helsinki, Kotka, Vyborg and St. Petersburg. The shipowner named the steamship, acquired in 1899, after his wife Martha Russ, which was in service for 64 years, 21 of which were under the Russ shipping company flag. The steamer Johannes Russ, acquired in 1904, was lost in the chaos of war in 1915. Two smaller steamers followed, the Christian Russ and Helen Russ, which served the shipping company for 50 years. In 1910 the Margarete Russ wrecked on an Atlantic voyage to the port of destination Amsterdam. By the First World War, the shipping company's fleet numbered 16 ships that were in use on the North and Baltic Seas and in the North and South Atlantic voyages. 10 ships were lost in the war.

In 1926, Paul Lorenz-Meyer married Tilly Russ, the shipowner's only child, and became a partner in the shipping company. With the new partner, the new ship names were given the initials LM at the ending Russ (like Ernst L.-M. Russ, built in 1937 by the Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft, 2957 GRT, 2000 HP).

In 1939 the fleet again consisted of 39 ships, of which 13 were lost in the Second World War and 20 were delivered to the Allies.

Life: Origin: Fehling was the son of the merchant Johannes Christoph Fehling (1800–1882) and his wife Anna Emilie, née. Oppenheimer (1803–1885). His uncles were the chemist Hermann Christian von Fehling and the lawyer Georg Oppenheimer, his brothers were the senator Johannes Fehling (1835–1893) and the consul Hermann Wilhelm Fehling (1842–1907).

career:Fehling attended the Candidate School from 1854 to Easter 1857 and then the Katharineum in Lübeck until he graduated from high school in 1866. He studied law at the universities of Heidelberg, Leipzig and Göttingen. In Heidelberg he was an assistant at the Corps Vandalia Heidelberg. In 1869 he received his doctorate in Göttingen with the highest distinction (“egregie”). jur. doctorate. Albert Wolffson was his close college friend.

Fehling returned to Lübeck, where he practiced as a lawyer and notary after his exams before the Higher Appeal Court of the Four Free Cities in 1869 and a study visit to Paris, Rome and London in 1869/70. As a member of the Lübeck lawyers' association, he became its chairman. In 1876 he joined the Lübeck Freemason Lodge Zur Weltkugel.

Soon afterwards he also emerged in public life in Lübeck. Elected to citizenship in 1879, he was elected on the 18th. July 1887 appointed as spokesman at the head of this body. At this point, he had already been in charge of the spokesman's business on the citizens' committee for a year.

In 1883 he was one of the founders of the Hometown Association. Fehling was a member of the Society for the Promotion of Non-Profit Activities and was to be the society's director from 1895 to the end of 1897. During his directorship, the Lübeckische Blatter was in danger of going under. Through his work, the organ of society was transformed into a new form and recovered.

After uninterrupted presidential leadership of the Citizens' Committee and the Citizens' Council, Fehling was elected on January 4th. In May 1896, he was elected as a senator in the Lübeck Senate, the highest body of the Lübeck state, as the successor to Karl Peter Klügmann, who had been appointed Hanseatic envoy in place of the late Friedrich Krüger. He was a member of the financial deputation from the start. There he was chairman of the city assets department and the so-called assessment commission.

In addition, Fehling was appointed to the “Commission for Foreign Affairs” in 1898.

As a member of the Hansische Historischeverein, Fehling succeeded Wilhelm Brehmer, who had been elected mayor, as president of the association in 1903.

When Johann Georg Eschenburg was elected mayor of Lübeck, the Senate appointed Fehling as his successor as deputy Federal Council representative of the Hanseatic envoy, first Klügmann, then Sieveking, to the Hanseatic legation at Tiergartenstrasse 17a. appointed. Here he always took their interests into account, for example choosing Lübeck as the headquarters of the Hanseatic Insurance Company,

At the inauguration of the Berlin Cathedral on January 27th February 1905, which took place in the presence of the imperial couple and numerous royalties, took part as representatives of the Free and Hanseatic City of Lübeck, its mayor and, as a representative of the church council, Senator Fehling.

While the Lübeck Senate was in Bremen for the Senate meeting, Fehling lived from 3. until 6. In June 1905, as a representative of the Lübeck Senate, he attended the wedding of the Crown Prince and the Duchess of Mecklenburg and, on behalf of the Senate, donated a replica of the angel chandelier from Lübeck Cathedral.

Until the 1st October 1913, the Hanseatic envoy in the Federal Council represented Lübeck's vote. The Senate had decided that from now on Senator Fehling would lead the vote there and appointed the new Hanseatic envoy, Karl Sieveking, as his deputy there. In doing so, Lübeck followed its sister cities. After the death of Mayor Johann Heinrich Burchard, Hamburg appointed Senator Friedrich Sthamer and Bremen, after the death of Mayor Victor Marcus, appointed Senator Martin Donandt as the voting representative of the Federal Council. In this way, closer contact between the Senate and the Federal Council was established.

At the end of 1916 Fehling was appointed Eschenburg's successor as mayor of the Hanseatic city for the 1917/18 electoral period. His first term in office was to be marked by the war. The celebration of the emperor's birthday, which took place in peacetime on the Burgfeld, which had provided space for the barracks hospital since the outbreak of the war, was held at the Buniamshof. At the end, the mayor, in the presence of the deputy commander of the 81st Infantry Brigade, Major General Harry von Wright, Lübeck warriors “deserved” the Lübeck Hanseatic Cross.

Accompanied by government councilor Plessing, the mayor visited the Lübeck 1st Regiment, which had withdrawn from the front line after heavy fighting in the Arras section to Masny. to 4. June 1917 to bring him greetings from home. The first contact with the troops was an exercise led by division commander Mutius. A parade followed near the headquarters. After warriors who had particularly distinguished themselves in the fighting of the past few weeks had received the Hanseatic Cross, the companies marched past.

Shortly after the fall of Riga, the mayor, again accompanied by government councilor Plessing, went to the Eastern Front to Warsaw, Brest-Litowsk, Kovel, Białystok, Wilna, Mitau, Libau (war port) and Riga. At every stop in the occupied Russian territory, the army command made this pointur ensured that they were welcomed by the children of Lübeck. On several occasions, individual days were dedicated to entire units of troops who received their replacements exclusively or primarily from the Hanseatic city. In the cities that were the seats of German governorates, army high commands or military administrations, people met with the leading people. In the area of ​​the Linsingen Army Group, the commander-in-chief, as a Lübeck veteran, did not miss the opportunity to receive the delegation in an episcopal castle with the people of Lübeck.

The highlight of the trip was the city that was first settled by Hanseatic merchants, especially from Lübeck. The city captain received the mayor and all the city fathers. In his speech, particular attention was paid to the ties between the two cities and the Lübeck government's advocacy of Baltic interests in trade policy during the war.

In 1918, the Kaiser's birthday festivities only took place on the market.

After the Battle of the Kemmel, the regiment was in Knocke and Westkapelle for regeneration. When Fehling and some members of the Senate wanted to visit the regiment on site, they were advised not to do so because of the constant danger of air raids, the frequent state of alarm and the constant danger of shelling from the sea.

When the November Revolution coming from Kiel reached the city, it too initially fell into its wake. The officers were taken to the “Hotel International”, at train station no. 17, interned and three senators asked for their retirement when the town hall was flagged red. When the governments in Allen German states collapsed before the onslaught of revolution in the critical days of November, Lübeck's Senate alone under the leadership of the mayor passed the great test. There were no violent riots.

The regiment returned on the morning of the 26th. November, coming home from guard duty during the transition period around Strasbourg in Alsace-Lorraine, at the main train station. In the official ceremony on the 30th In addition to Mayor Fehling as representative of the Senate, Carl Dimpker as spokesman for the citizens, Rethfeld as member of the Soldiers' Council and Johannes Stelling as representative of the Workers' Council welcomed the returning regiment at the market on November 1st. However, only remnants of this remained. His officers had already left the regiment. Since the regimental commander, Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig Hauß, was ill, the commander of the 81st command, which was also based in Lübeck, thanked him. Infantry Brigade, Colonel Hans von Werder, to them on behalf of the regiment.

Fehling's second term in office was to be shaped by the design of the new state constitution. After constitutional changes that had already taken place on 28. March 1917 and 11. December 1918, as well as from 26. February and 26th In March 1919, in the new term of office, the Senate and the citizenry decided to have the constitution reviewed again by a commission of the Senate and the citizenry, taking into account things in the Reich and its individual states. The work of the commission, in particular taking into account the finalized constitution of the German Reich, established relevant provisions for all countries belonging to the empire. Accordingly, the Senate and the citizenry came to an agreement on the wording of the new constitution. The new Lübeck state constitution, which bore the mayor's handwriting, was passed on January 23rd. Published May 1920. His request for retirement was granted by the Senate. When he turned 31 When he left in December 1920, the independent Senator Johann Martin Andreas Neumann became his successor. From then on, Fehling devoted himself to historical research with a rich literary output.

On the morning of the 3rd In August 1927, Fehling, who was already on his deathbed, was able to recognize his well-wishers, his wife, children and grandchildren, before his consciousness faded. However, he was no longer able to see the Lübeck Senate and other well-wishers. He died on the same day.

After his death on August 8th August 1927 in St. Mary's Church, senior pastor Paul Denker held the funeral service. The mayors of the three Hanseatic cities were among Fehling's funeral entourage. His grave is in the Burgtorfriedhof, next to that of his father-in-law.

Family: Fehling married twice.

First he was with Ada Marie Caroline (* 10. May 1853 in Munich; † 27. September 1906 in Lübeck), the only daughter of the poet Emanuel Geibel, married since 1872. Suffering from depression, Ada Fehling died in a sanatorium. The marriage resulted in nine children. Maria and Ferdinand became known as historians, Jürgen as a theater director. Georg Roemer became Fehling's son-in-law. Emanuel (1873–1932) was Fanny Reventlow's childhood sweetheart. In Berlin he met Katharina (Käthe) Wessel (* 11. October 1862 in Berlin, † 20. March 1933 in Mönchengladbach), the widowed wife of the Privy Councilor Dr. Vogts from Berlin-Wannsee. Fehling had been married to her since 1910.

Trivia: After Senator Mann's death on January 13th In October 1891, Consul Fehling and the wine merchant Tesdorpf were appointed guardians of his five children.

Thomas Mann was 16 years old at the time. In his novel The Buddenbrooks, for which he would later receive the Nobel Prize and which has references to real people in Lübeck, we meet Carl Tesdorpf as the wine merchant Stephan Kistenmaker, Consul Hermann Fehling as Consul Hermann Hagenström and Emil Ferdinand Fehling as Dr. Moritz Hagenstrom.

Portrait: On the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig, the Lübeck Senate again donned the official costume of the time, for the first time since wearing it was banned during the French era.

It consisted of a sleeveless coat made of patterned silk fabric trimmed with mink and was held together at the front with a double silver-gilt chain. It showed whether the bearer was a mayor, senator or Senate secretary. While the mayor's coat was also trimmed with mink all around, the senator wore soutache trimmings and the Senate secretary wore trimmings instead. The shape of the hats was based on Spanish hats from that time and was covered with black velvet. The black cloth skirt, trimmed with heads and decorations made of black soutache work, had a lace ruffle at the sleeve opening, which was not completely closed at the front, and left a waistcoat made of silk brocade in the old gold tone and a jabot sticking out. Added to this was the neck brace.

Fehling had himself photographed in that traditional costume without a hat by the Berlin court photographer Emil Bieber. In the spring of 1920, Leopold von Kalckreuth came to Lübeck to paint the painting shown opposite.

Residence: Fehling lived at Curtiusstrasse 11 and lived around his 70th birthday. His birthday was given to reporters from the Lübeckische Anzeiger as part of the series “New Forms of Architectural Design of Garden Suburbs in Lübeck,” which appeared in their Sunday supplement at the time. Access to his house.

The facade of the house, which was surrounded by wild vines, did not reveal the wide rooms on the ground floor on both sides of the “hall”.

The tall bookcases in the hall harmonized with heavy mahogany furniture from the end of the 18th century. and the beginning of the 19th century. century. Behind one of the high, dark walnut mirrored doors of the bookcases were original Cotta editions of Goethe, Herder, Geibel and other classics. Here a silver writing utensil with an enthroned bard that was presented to the father-in-law returning from Munich by grateful fellow citizens in 1866 - there a personal dedication from the Emperor to the Federal Council member and a portrait of the Emperor in cuirassier's uniform set in a valuable metal frame.

Everything was enlivened by memories from three generations of the Fehling, Geibel and Wessel families. The Ada picture by Erich Correns, pastel portraits by Julie de Boor - including her drawing by Geibel, which was sold by the Berlin Photographic Society - and creations by the Munich sculptor Georg Roemer.

The library on the 1st floor The second floor was the master's office. From here Fehling's gaze swept over the peaks of the city park to the towers of St. Mary's Church.

Erwin Barth once designed the garden that stretches between Curtiusstrasse and Bugenhagenstrasse, following the architecture of the house.

Awards: What was an order in a monarchical state was a simple commemorative coin in a state like Lübeck's, which was based on self-government. Three such commemorative coins are awarded in Lübeck. The first was awarded to the Senate, the second to the Chamber of Commerce and the third to the Society for the Promotion of Non-Profit Activities.

On Fehling's 70th birthday. His achievements were recognized accordingly on his birthday. The Senate awarded him the Bene Merenti Golden Commemorative Coin in recognition of his contemporary statesmanship. By awarding him its highest award, the Society for the Promotion of Non-Profit Activity, the “Society for the Promotion of Non-Profit Activity” recognized, among other things, his services to the reorganization in order to ensure the continued existence of the company body. The “Lübeck History Association” honored him by making him an honorary member. In the Masonic Lodge at the World Globe he was appointed honorary master of the chair.
