Life

From 1770 to 1791 Andlau-Birseck was an officer in the French army. In 1780 he joined the prince-bishop's regiment of Eptingen and in 1786 achieved the rank of sub-lieutenant. He studied law in Würzburg and became Hofratsassessor in Pruntrut in 1788. Until 1791 he was also a representative of the nobility in the assembly of estates of the Principality of Basel.

In 1792 he fled to Biel because of the French Revolution and to Olten a year later . In 1794 he had to flee to Freiburg , where in 1802 he became the administrator of Breisgau and Ortenau. In 1805 he was appointed regional president in Freiburg in the unified Grand Duchy of Baden and finally court judge in 1807. In 1809 he was civil commissioner of the Baden troops in Vienna and also worked as an envoy in Paris from 1809 to 1810 . In 1810 he worked on the State Treaty between Baden and Hesse and Baden and Württemberg. Finally he returned to Baden and took over the post of Minister of the Interior from February 28, 1810 to April 11, 1813. In addition, he was head of state minister for a short time. In 1813 he was again active as court judge in Freiburg and in 1814 was appointed governor of the Free County of Burgundy, the department of Vosges and the Principality of Pruntrut. After the peace of Paris and the reorganization of the borders, however, his administrative area only included the former duchy of Basel , where he tried in vain to form a government under his leadership. From 1817 until his retirement in 1833 he worked again as a court judge in Baden.
