Biography

Johan David Carel Pagenstecher was born in Osnabrück to Gabriel Christoph Pagenstecher and Clara Elisabeth Gösling.[1][2] His father was a lawyer and senior councillor in Osnabrück and belonged to the Pagenstecher family [de], which enjoyed good relations with the Dutch royal House of Orange-Nassau.[3] On 1 November 1816, Pagenstecher joined the Dutch army à la suite for six years and went over to the battalion for the colonies on 1 January 1817.[1] He departed to the Gold Coast on 11 December 1817.[2]

Following the death of acting commander Hendrik Adriaan Mouwe on 11 February 1824, Pagenstecher was designated acting commander of the Dutch Gold Coast on 17 February 1824,[4] and took his oath of office on 21 February.[5][6] He served until Friedrich Last arrived three days later to succeed him.[7][8]
