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.
