About Johan Fredrik Meyer Jr
After a visit in Havelberg I meet Antje in the museum and she told med that they are very proud of the famuos son who made a carrier in Sweden as Litograph.
THIS SHOULD BE POSTED TO THE PAGE OF BIRKHOLZ AS THE PROPERTY NAMED BELOW WAS A MERTEN INHERITENCE AND PROBABLY PASSED ON TO A SON OF MERTEN.
She told me also that Johan:s parents hade a wineberg close to the river Hafvel,.
6000 winetrees.and 688 fruit trees.The house was made of bricks as well a cowshed and a pigsty on the vineyeard. In the contract of 1772, regulating the hereditary lease of the vineyeard in Toppel. In the 1772 the vineyard belonged to the brothers Fahrendorf, Catarina Berkholz (mother of Johann) first husband.The owner was 1784 Jacob Fahrendorf, born 1760. They also transported goods on the rivers and had ships.
The place were the wineberg were called Toppel. There is a map also.
I also made an intervju in the lokal newspaper and there is an intervju with me.
The reason wy they moved to Sweden and open a lithographic tryckeri in Stockholm and started to print to the Swedish Royal house.
Start of Illustrated magasin. , with illustrations of Wilhelm meyer and C.F. Meyer.
An intervju is on the lokal newpaper in Havelberg, Volkstimme in german. with me and
the museum in Havelberg.

1841 in May he meets his partner Julius Ortgies in Hamburg to coordinate transportation of presses and stones to Stockholm. He does not know Julius well but was friends with his father David Christian Ortgies when he lived and worked in Bremen. Julius lived in another city so the two did not meet.
1840 arrives in Srockholm and ends up helping Mueller with painting opera backgrounds.

Business did not work out between Meyer and Ortgies so Ortgies went back to Germany.
With his part in the business, of course, and this is the first time J.F. Meyer gets wiped out and the year is 1842.
In 1868 he goes bankrupt again and Johan Fredrik tells that he took on a new partner on a hand shake. The shortlived partner was C. Gust. Möller från Blekinge. Unfortunately, unfortunate for Möller, he died 1873.
Johann Fredrik and his Katarina had a hard life with his ups and downs in his business, money was spent on refurbishing his printing shop and the family often had to do with little and it also made him somewhat bitter. His son Karl could take it but his firstborn Carl Fredrik could not - they argued.
Johan Fredrik was a sensitive artist, enthusiastic at times, trusted everybody, a stickler at work and more than willing to try something new an innovative. He had grand times and he had hard times but he was an honorable man, He was not a very good businessman, obiously, but he had more than enough visions for business and had he not gotten into financial troubles so often printing in Stockholm would surely been at least a bit more advanced sooner.
