1845
Gustav Adoph Jahn bietet Benzenberg in diesen Briefen seinen Dienst als Observator an der neugebauten Sternwarte in Bilk bei Düsseldorf an.
"...Es ist mir das Gerücht zugekommen, daß Euer Wohlgeboren in der Nähe von Düsseldorf...eine neue Sternwarte erbaut hätten und für dieselbe einen Observator suchten..."
Benzenberg verwirklichte 1844 in Bilk bei Düsseldorf seinen Traum von einer großen Sternwarte. Die hier von ihm gebaute Sternwarte "Charlottenruh", benannt nach seiner sehr früh verstorbenen Frau, wird fast ein ganzes Jahrhundert lang betrieben, bevor sie den Bomben des zweiten Weltkrieges zum Opfer fällt.
Heute erinnert der ausgeglühte Refraktor, der auf einem Betonsockel an der alten Martinskirche in Bilk steht, an diese Sternwarte.
Die Korrespondenz befindest sich im Nachlass von Johann Friedrich Benzenberg, der zu den Beständen des Rheinischen Literaturarchivs im Heinrich-Heine-Institut zählt.
The Bundeszentralkartei (BZK) is the central register of the federal government and federal states for completed compensation proceedings. When a claim is entered into the BZK, a number is assigned for unique identification. This BZK number refers to a compensation claim, not to a person. If a person has made several claims (e.g. for themselves and for relatives), each claim generally has its own BZK number. Often, the file number of the respective compensation authority is used as the BZK number.
This number is important for making an inquiry to the relevant archive.
Delict according to Nazi judicial system
Conduct that was first criminalized under National Socialism (e.g. the Treachery Act, ‘Judenbegünstigung’) or which the Nazi judiciary prosecuted more severely (e.g. high treason).
Reason for persecution
The reasons provided here are based on the wording in the reasons for persecution stated in the sources.
Role in the proceeding
‘Verfolgt’ refers to a person who submitted a compensation claim for damage caused by Nazi persecution. If the application was submitted by a person other than the persecuted person, this other person is designated as ‘antragstellend’ and their relationship to the persecuted person, if there is one, is noted. In the sources, the persecuted person is sometimes referred to as ‘Geschädigter’ (aggrieved party) and the applicant as ‘Anspruchsberechtigter’(claimant).
