Johann Otto Stammann

After studying law and receiving his doctorate in Heidelberg in 1857, he was enrolled as a lawyer in Hamburg on April 23, 1858.

The lawyer Alfred Otto Stammann was his son.

On September 22, 1886, Stammann was elected to the Senate to replace the late Hermann Anthony Cornelius Weber.

Because he became seriously ill at the end of 1908, he was not re-elected mayor in 1909, contrary to tradition.

His funeral led to a public dispute because, in accordance with the constitution, he was buried like a simple senator without a church ceremony; two senators were present.
