Auf der Suche nach Pösches im Web stieß ich auf einen Vortrag von Dr. Galina Uliyanova, Senior Researcher, Centre for Studies in Russian History of the 19th Century des Institute of Russian History der Russian Academy of Sciences, Moskau, Rußland, welchen diese Forscherin auf dem XIV. International Economic History Congess in Helsinki (2006) hielt. In diesem Vortrag beschrieb die Forscherin die ersten dokumentierten russischen Unternehmerinnen im Zarenreich.

Über die Familie Pösche ist in dem im Internet nachlesbaren Manuskript gesagt worden:

Anna Pösche inherited a chemical factory from her husband Peter Pösche (in 1814, there were 4 workers). (Seite 5 des Manuskripts)

In the Pösche family a factory twice passed to widow’s hands after its owner’s death: first it was Anna Pösche in 1819, and later it was Julia Anna Pösche in 1862. From 1819, after Peter Pösche’s death, his second wife, a Moscow noblewoman Anna Pösche became factory’s owner. In 1819, she was 42. In Pösche’s family there were two sons by his first wife – Alexander and Ivan, and three sons by Anna – Peter, Andrei and Pavel. According to the merchant as census record for 1815, the house in the Pokrovka district of Moscow, where Pösche’s family lived, was inherited by Peter Pösche from "his deceased first wife Daria". After the death of Anna Pösche, in 1841, the chemical factory passed to family’s elder son (Ivan became the elder son in 1825 after the death of Alexander). Thirty-seven-old Julia Pösche inherited a factory after the death of her husband Ivan (1862). A chemical factory, existing from 1801, was one of the pioneer industrial enterprises in Moscow. In 1872, in Pösche’s factory there worked 16 workers, who produced sulphuric acid, sulphat of natrium, soda and other chemical products, which was worth more than 42 thousand rubles per year. Pösches were one of the oldest German families in Moscow. In 1801, Julia Pösche’s father-in-law obtained from "the office of the State Medical Collegium" a license to open a small enterprise producing nitric and sulphuric acids. He registered as a merchant later in 1807, as census record put it, "coming from among foreigners of German origin and taking oath to eternal allegiance to Russia". Julia Pösche had two sons - Alexander and Emil, and three daughters - Julia, Amalia und Sophia. In an archive, one can found information that Emil e graduated the Imperial Moscow Technical College with the degree of mechanical engineer in 1879. Thus during the lifetime of the three generations the family of Pösche’s educational level progressed adapting to the needs and demands of the time. However, despite the presence of competent men in the family, the mother Julia Pösche was in the head of family business during almost two decades. (Seiten 5 - 6)

Demnach war die Familie Pösche eine der ältesten deutschstämmigen Familien im Moskau. Wie aber die Famile Pösche nach Moskau kam und ob diese Pösche mit den bisher bekannten verwandt ist, ist noch unbekannt.

Aus dem Beschriebenen ergibt sich von Peter Pösche und seiner Frau Anna ausgehend folgender Stammbaum.

Wie dieser Pösche in die bekannte Familie gehört, versucht Gustav Pösche gerade herauszufinden.
