Anton Eggstein

[1] In 1819, during his first period at the Landstag from 1819, Eggstein had rented a room at the Gasthof Döllerer in the Tal district of Munich.

[2] He was the first deputy of the Bavarian Landstag to die in office and was buried with great solemnity on 16 March in the Südlichen Friedhof München after a procession from the Ständehaus to the cemetery by all the members of both chambers of the parliament.

[3][4] The funeral service was a Roman Catholic one, led by a priest from the Munich Frauenkirche and with a eulogy at the graveside by the Landtag's chaplain Pastor Carl Borromäus Egger (1772–1849), a then-popular preacher and writer.

[5] Directly behind the coffin walked vice-president count Franz Erwein von Schönborn-Wiesentheid from the counselors' chamber and president Freiherr Sebastian von Schrenck from the chamber of deputies.

According to his obituary in volume 13 of the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies of Bavaria, his gravestone read "He was an active householder, an honest brewer, a loyal husband, a righteous father, a pious Catholic Christian, an honourable man concerned for his fatherland's welfare."
