Johann Michael Jahn (1816-1883) came to New Braunfels in 1845 as a colonist with the German Emigration Company. He married Anna Klein Bellmer in 1850. A "Tischlermeister" or master craftsman, Jahn established a business making fine hand-crafted furniture. Active in civic affairs, he was elected one of the first alderman of the city. After Jahn's death, his son and grandson operated the business, and built this building in 1910. The company continued until the 1930s. Jahn's works have been displayed locally and at the Witte Museum in San Antonio. </p> </div><div class="field field--name-field-creator field--type-text field--label-inline clearfix"><div class="field__label">LocationMem:&nbsp;</div><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item even">New Braunfels, TX</div></div></div><div class="field field--name-field-publisher field--type-text field--label-inline clearfix"><div class="field__label">Institution:&nbsp;</div><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item even">Texas Historical Commission</div></div></div><div class="field field--name-field-rights field--type-text field--label-inline clearfix"><div class="field__label">Official/Unofficial:&nbsp;</div><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item even">Official</div></div></div><div class="field field--name-field-identifier field--type-text field--label-inline clearfix"><div class="field__label">Group Acknowledged:&nbsp;</div><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item even">Germans</div></div></div><div class="item-subject"><div class="label-above">Physical Aspects:&nbsp;</div><p>Black</p> </div><div class="field field--name-field-item-date field--type-text field--label-inline clearfix"><div class="field__label">Date of Dedication:&nbsp;</div><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item even">1997</div></div></div><div class="node-map"><div class="label-above">Place Location:&nbsp;</div></div><div class="field field--name-field-item-tags field--type-taxonomy-term-reference field--label-above"><div class="field__label">Themes:&nbsp;</div><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item even"><a href="/tags/immigration" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">immigration</a></div><div class="field__item odd"><a href="/tags/settlers" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">settlers</a></div><div class="field__item even"><a href="/tags/germany" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Germany</a></div></div></div> Mon, 19 Oct 2020 14:03:51 +0000 makvnna@unc.edu 7396 at https://migrationmemorials.trinity.duke.edu
