Short Description: "Amandus Augustus Abendroth (16 October 1767 in Hamburg – 17 December 1842) was a German jurist and mayor of Hamburg.

He was the son of Abraham Augustus Abendroth, a lower court procuration from Eisenberg, Saxony. Beginning in 1787, he studied law in Erlangen and Göttingen, where he was awarded a doctorate on 30 March 1790. He married in Venice in 1792. After having lived for a number of years as a lawyer in Hamburg, where he helped to administer the newly founded Armen-Anstalt (Poor's Institution), he was elected alderman on 5 September 1800.

In this capacity he held the office of praetor – meaning mayor – during the French occupation. The praetor was the first instance for civil cases and led the fact-finding actions when required. In 1809 he became governor of Ritzebüttel. After the incorporation of the town into the French Empire, he became maire, mayor of the same town." - (en.wikipedia.org 10.08.2021)
