Emil August Edward Wentzel (c. 1817 – 23 February 1892) was a timber merchant and politician in the colony of South Australia. Emil emigrated to South Australia on the Hermann von Beckerath from Bremen, Germany, arriving in December 1847. He worked for a time as surveyor and engineer with the Central Road Board, but in 1852, after numerous complaints and several jobs which cost significantly more than budgeted for,[1] he was dismissed from the service.[2] He thereupon set himself up as a timber merchant on East Terrace, Adelaide, and grew quite wealthy. Emil Wentzel was MHA for Encounter Bay from April 1870 – December 1871. His term in parliament was remarkable for a deputation from his electorate calling for his resignation.[3] He was not a candidate at the subsequent election. He returned to Baden-Baden, Germany, where he died. He was married but had no children, his wife surviving him. His will provided, after the death of his wife, for the establishment of two educational endowments: The Emil Wentzel endowment for students at the Royal Prussian Academy of Arts at Berlin and The Emil Wentzel endowment for students at the Royal Prussian High School for Technology at Berlin. Half the recipients were to be German and half South Australian, but only to go to students of some means, as he did not want to fund a charity.[4] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article159531645 |title=Central Road Board |newspaper=Adelaide Observer |location=SA |date=29 June 1850 |accessdate=27 June 2015 |page=4 Supplement: Supplement to the "Adelaide Observer." |via=National Library of Australia}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Wentzel, Emil}}2. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article38461236 |title=Central Road Board |newspaper=South Australian Register |location=Adelaide |date=27 January 1852 |accessdate=27 June 2015 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article39243771 |title=Representation of Encounter Bay |newspaper=South Australian Register |location=Adelaide |date=4 July 1871 |accessdate=27 June 2015 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article87303484 |title=The week |newspaper=The Chronicle |location=Adelaide |date=25 January 1896 |accessdate=27 June 2015 |page=9 |via=National Library of Australia}} 6 : German emigrants to Australia|Australian timber merchants|Members of the South Australian House of Assembly|1817 births|1892 deaths|19th-century Australian politicians |
