Benjamin Wegner
Jacob Benjamin Wegner (21 February 1795 – 22 May 1864) was a Norwegian industrialist, estate owner and timber merchant.
Born in Königsberg, he moved to Berlin around 1820 and established an independent business as an agent in the British timber trade and grain trade. In 1822, he relocated to Norway, after he had bought Blaafarveværket on behalf of the Berlin banker Wilhelm Christian Benecke. From 1822 to 1849, he was Director General and one of two owners of Blaafarveværket, which he developed into Norway's largest and most successful industrial enterprise in the first half of the 19th century. He was also owner of Frogner Manor, the largest co-owner of the Hafslund estate, a co-owner of the Hassel Iron Works and a co-owner of the timber firm Juel, Wegner & Co. Most of his business activities, both in the timber, grain and cobalt segments, focused heavily on export to England, where he spent much time throughout his life.
He served as consul general to Norway of the sovereign city-republics of Hamburg, Lübeck and Bremen, and of the Kingdom of Portugal. He was married to Henriette Seyler (1805–75), a member of the Berenberg banking dynasty of Hamburg and the youngest daughter of Berenberg Bank's long-time head and co-owner L.E. Seyler as well as a granddaughter of one of the 18th century's greatest theatre principals, Abel Seyler. His wife was briefly a co-owner of Berenberg Bank in 1836.
==Early life==
Jacob Benjamin Wegner, who went by the name of Benjamin, was born in Königsberg, an important port city on the coast of the Baltic Sea. Relatively little is known about his background, not even his parents' names. His mother remarried to the Königsberg merchant Benjamin Gutzeit.〔Gutzeit is a Baltic name, meaning someone who lives in the thicket, and may refer figuratively to someone who "speaks like a Belarusian" or to a dark-looking person. It is not derived from German ''gut Zeit'' ("good time")〕 He may have had a brother named Salomon. He received a solid commercial education and joined a leading Königsberg firm as an apprentice.〔
