Bachmayer, Christoph Joseph

Rentier

born: 09.09.1816 in Munich

died: 22.11.1887 in Wiesbaden

The trained umbrella maker is said to have mastered seven languages and thus qualified as a companion and "travel marshal" to Prince Albert Edward of Wales, later King Edward VII, whom he accompanied on several years of travel to America and the Orient. At times he worked as a hotelier in Paris. In 1868, he retired in Wiesbaden, where he lived in the Villa Amalfi at Sonnenberger Str. 60 together with his sister, who was also unmarried.

Bachmayer donated 100,000 RM each for the care of the elderly, the children's home and the poor association. Smaller legacies went to the eye and blind institutions, the rescue home, the widows' and orphans' fund of the theater orchestra, the soup institute, the beautification and animal protection associations. Bachmayer was buried in the North Cemetery. A street was named after him by resolution of the municipal council on 16.05.1889.
