Sebastian Hensel

Sebastian Ludwig Felix Hensel (June 16, 1830 – January 13, 1898) was a German landowner, entrepreneur and author.

Three composers significant to the Hensels inspired his given names: Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, and his uncle Felix.

In the same year he married Julie von Adelson (1836–1901), a daughter of the Russian consul general in Königsberg.

In Berlin, he accepted a position as director of a newly founded market hall company.

The project to centralize and simplify Berlin's food supply failed after disputes with the authorities.
