Karl von Gamp-Massaunen

Karl von Gamp-Massaunen as a member of the Reichstag in 1912

Karl Friedrich Oskar Freiherr von Gamp-Massaunen (born November 24, 1846 in Massaunen , Friedland district , † November 13, 1918 in Berlin ) was a German landowner and politician ( Free Conservative Party ).

Life

Gamp was born in 1846 as a commoner under the name Karl Gamp. He studied at the Albertus University in Königsberg and had been a silver Litthauer since 1865 . The Corps Baltia Koenigsberg awarded him the ribbon like the other still living Silber-Litthauern in 1908.

As a member of the Free Conservative Party , he joined the Prussian House of Representatives in 1884 , where he was a member of the House of Representatives until his death. In the Reichstag he represented the constituency administrative district Marienwerder 8 ( Deutsch Krone ) from 1884 to 1918.

At the beginning of the 20th century, he acquired the 800 hectare Massaunen / Schippenbeil manor in East Prussia from the Gerlach family , which he expanded with such skill that it finally comprised 1,500 hectares of land as well as a dairy, a distillery, a brick factory and a neo-baroque manor house . After Gamp had already held the title of a privy councilor, Gamp was raised to the nobility in 1907 as Freiherr von Gamp-Massaunen.

In the Prussian state parliament, Gamp-Massaunen acted primarily through the so-called Lex Gamp (actually: law relating to the amendment of the General Mining Act of June 24, 1865/1892 of July 5, 1905 (G.-SS 265) (blocking the assumptions Hard coal and rock salt)) from the summer of 1905, with which the Prussian government wanted to curb the expansion of potash mining in Prussia: The law provided that no drilling should be permitted for a period of two years .

Gamp-Massaunen's funeral shortly after the November Revolution formed the occasion for negotiations between various conservative politicians, which resulted in the establishment of the German National People's Party .
