(Gesammeltes aus der Geschichte der Armenanstalt während ihrer 50jährigen Dauer). The later years By 1793 Voght had handed over all business affairs with the exception of trade with the US to his Partner Sieveking. The trade crisis which hit Hamburg in 1799 struck his firm heavily, so that he finally had to dissolve the trade house. During the period of the Continental System he undertook another multi-year trip through Switzerland, France, and Italy, during which he got to know the Emperor Napoleon and his first wife Josephine in Paris. After his return to Flottbek he lived mainly from income earned from agriculture. Upon the sale of his model estate to the banker and senator Martin Johann Jenisch in 1828, Voght lived with Bonaparte. He later dwelt with the widow of his partner Georg Heinrich Sieveking, who had died in 1799. Voght died in Hamburg on 20 March 1839 at the age of 86. He was buried in the Nienstedtener cemetery. In celebration of Caspar Voght Two streets in Hamburg are named after Caspar Voght: Baron-Voght-Straße in Klein-Flottbek and Caspar-Voght-Straße in Hamm. There was also a secondary school named after him, the coeducational Caspar-Voght-Gymnasium (formerly an Oberrealschule for girls only) at Caspar-Voght-Straße. The school has been converted and today is the home of the ballet school of Hamburg run by John Neumeier. References Primary sources Caspar Voght: Lebensgeschichte.
