Peter Hohmann, Edler of Hohenthal

He was servant in a business house which was dealing with banking, movement of goods, and merchandise traffic.

Among his customers were the Imperial Army of Emperor Charles VI of Germany, which he supplied with equipment and foodstuffs.

In 1715 he became a town councillor and master builder to the council (German: Ratsbaumeister).

He purchased numerous manor houses, among them those of Crostewitz, south of Leipzig; Großdeuben, now part of Böhlen; Großstädteln; Hohenprießnitz, now part of Zschepplin; Wallendorf on the Luppe;[2] and (in 1709) Lichte (Wallendorf).

Leipzig honoured its former citizen in 1898 by naming the Hohmannstrasse in the Euteritzsch district after him.
