Notizen zu dieser Person

Or Johan Friedrich Striebing. He served as baptismal sponsor for Anne Margareth Schultz on 9 Nov 1738, and to Johan Christian Friderich Schultz on 24 Jun 1740, for Jürgen Friderich Peter Marquardt on 6 Oct 1745 (this lastalong with Sophie Strüving), all in Mölln. He worked as a “Fabricante” (manufacturer) and “Brennknecht” (smelter) in the royal brassworks at Theresienthal, Reher, near Aerzen, starting at its founding. Johann Friedrich served asbaptismal sponsor for his granddaughter Anna Maria Strubing in Amsterdam in 1782. By 1786 and until at least 1795 he was a night watchman at the brassworks, and at his death in 1798 he was retired. He died of dysentery.

The Reher brassworks, constructed in 1749, consisted of a furnace building, a hammer mill, and a prep building. The mill pond drove three waterwheels, which powered three shafts and twelve hammers in two buildings. The rawmaterials for the mill, recycled brass, copper from Trondheim in Norway, calamine (zinc ore) from Aachen, coal from the Lauenstein Osterwald for smelting and from Stadthagen for forging, and wood from the Aerzen forest, were hauledin by ship and wagon. The ores were broken or ground by hammers and sifted, some of the wood was turned to charcoal. Large cylindrical clay crucibles were packed with the raw materials and placed in depressions in the ground,eight such surrounding one pouring crucible in the center. There were two such ovens, usually only one of which was in use at any one time. After smelting, the bronze was milled by hammers and then formed into cauldrons, casters,cops, scoops, spittoons, spoons, and in general anything that was ordered and could be made of brass. The smelting and pouring was managed by only three employees: the master firer (Brennmeister), an assistant (Geselle), and an apprentice (Lehrbursch). In 1790 the brassworks as a whole employed 16 workers, who were all free oflicense and poll taxes. The residences of the workers were small but sufficient to their purpose. The workers were in general not particularly sickly, though they did not have a healthy skin tone. As was common also in coppermills, these workers had green-tinged hair. After privatization in 1845, the brassworks became a cement and machine factory, and later a twine factory, a weaving mill, a bleaching plant, and a wool spinning mill. The plot later reverted to farmland.
