Dominique Busschaert (Bruges, July 12, 1770 - May 31, 1845) was Mayor of Assebroek in Belgium from 1828 to 1830. Lifecycle
Busschaert succeeded in the mayor's seat François Pauwels. Had he been in office for more than a quarter of a century, it became a much shorter period for his successor. Busschaert signed his first act on July 19, 1828, two months after the death of his predecessor. On October 25, 1830, he finally signed a municipal deed and probably left no foot in the town hall afterwards. A birth declaration of 27 October was only signed by his successor after November 15. The succession, during the Belgian Revolution, obviously happened for political reasons.
Dominique Busschaert was not a resident of the municipality. He lived in Bruges and paid no taxes in Assebroek. He was the son of the trader Dominique Busschaert and Catherine De Rudder. His father lived in the Langestraat and became a subject of popular worship in 1787 because he was suspected of driving the grain prices by speculation. An older son, François Busschaert, was many years of peace court of the second canton. Dominique became a police commissioner in the first district in 1809 and stayed with his parents. He was 46 when he married Johanna De Beir (1867-1843) in 1816. She was a daughter of the junk poop De Beir-Strubbe and the sister of Marie-Thérèse De Beir, who was married to Bruce Bruce Joos Saeys and whose daughter Anne Saeys married Jacques-Rodolphe van Zuylen van Nyevelt de Gaesebeke. < / p>
In 1817 or 1818, Busschaert was succeeded by J. Hinnekens as a commissioner and became a liquorice at the Anchorage, possibly following his in-laws. When he died in his home in the Oude Gentweg he was mentioned as 'owner'.
The Belgian Revolution put an end to its office. However, he did his best to stay on and complained to his senior successors to the higher government. However, that could demonstrate that Busschaert did not meet the conditions to be electorate in the municipality, let alone be elected.
In June 1970, the city council decided to name a street name a few months before Assebroek ceased to exist as independent commune, to Busschaert as to other former mayors. Literature
