About Karl Sieveking

  • Karl Sieveking, born 1 November 1787 in Hamburg, died 30 June 30 1847, was a Syndicus of Hamburg, diplomat, politician, patron of the arts and philanthropist.
  • The four syndics sat in the Senate with the senators and took part in the debates, but had no vote.
  • The office, at that time, was somewhat analogous to that of a cabinet minister (which did not exist as such in Hamburg).
  • To them were entrusted all important negotiations, and the preparation of every legislative enactment. A syndicus ranked between a mayor and a senator and had the title "Magnificence".
  • Sieveking was one of the most influential figures in Hamburg in the first half of the 19th century.
  • Among the many traces he left behind in his hometown include the Rauhes Haus, the Kunstverein and the former country estate Hammer Park.
