Wilhelm Georg Nikolaus von Haw (born October 7, 1783 in Daun ; † August 4, 1862 in Trier ) was Lord Mayor of Trier from 1818 to 1839.

Life

Haw was the son of an electorate court councilor. He studied law in Trier and Paris and pursued a career as a lawyer in Trier, Holland, Bremen and Herzogenbusch before he became mayor of Trier and district administrator of the Trier district in 1818 . Napoleon had appointed him Prefect of the Départements de l'Aube in 1814 . Haw was considered the most uncomfortable mayor of Trier by the Prussian government and was repeatedly subjected to disciplinary measures and administrative fines. In 1834 he was deprived of the leadership of the city police; city ​​councils were intermittently monitored, and Haw's retirement in 1839 was not entirely voluntary. Nevertheless, he was ennobled by the Prussian king in 1842. Haw was with Elisabeth Franziska, geb. Nell married. In 1847 he belonged to the United State Parliament and in 1850 to the First Chamber of the Prussian State Parliament. From 1852 to 1853 he was a member of the Prussian House of Representatives for the Daun-Prüm-Bitburg constituency .

Social

Von Haw was Prefect of the Marian Citizens' Modality in 1845 and belonged as Master of the Chair of the Masonic Lodge to the Human Friends Association . Despite his Freemasonry, he received a church funeral.

Architectural traces

In 1813 Haw had the three lands of Weißhaus, Ottoscheuer and Mergener Grünhaus merged and in 1828/29 a rose garden was created there, which soon gave Trier the name of an important rose city. Haw made the land available to the people of Trier for recreation and use.

The Weißhausbrunnen was built on the site, which has been preserved as a building certificate of classicism , but has long since ceased to function. He originally got his water from the Kockelsberg .

Haw was also the builder of the neo-classical Villa Weißhaus (around 1823), and during his tenure, the city center of Trier was paved and the Weberbach built over.

Honors

He received the Prussian Red Eagle Order and that of the Zähringer Lion . In 1826 the city ​​map of Trier was dedicated to him. A street in Trier is named after Wilhelm von Haw. His grave of honor is located in the main cemetery in Trier .
