Carl Tesdorpf

The company "Carl Tesdorpf Weinhandel zu Lübeck" was founded in 1678 by the future mayor of Lübeck, Peter Hinrich Tesdorpf (1648-1723). He came from a long-established, respected Lübeck patrician family, which had been active in the Hanseatic city for many centuries with excellent connections in cultural and political circles. The family provided numerous senators and mayors and is inextricably linked with the history of the city of Lübeck. The trading house also supplied Napoleon (1769-1821), among others.
