Adalbert von Ladenberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philipp Wilhelm Adalbert Ladenberg , from 1817 von Ladenberg , (born February 18, 1798 in Ansbach , † February 15, 1855 in Potsdam ) was a Prussian politician.

Life

Adalbert was the son of the Prussian State Minister Philipp von Ladenberg and his wife Karoline, née Lichotius (* 1771). After first lessons by private tutors, he attended the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Gymnasium in Berlin and at the age of 17 did his military service in the Guard Dragoon Regiment of the Prussian Army as a one-year volunteer . Released as a secondary lieutenant in 1816 , Ladenberg studied law and camera science in Berlin, Heidelberg and Göttingen .

After successfully completing his studies, Ladenberg got a job as an auscultator in the Prussian administration in 1818 . His career led him in 1824 from the government councilor and legal advisor in Cologne and in 1829 to the senior government councilor in Königsberg and Merseburg . As such, he was appointed regional president in Trier in 1834 and six years later Baron Karl vom Stein zum Altenstein brought him to the Ministry of Culture and to Berlin as a member of the State Council.

When Altenstein died on May 14, 1840, Ladenberg was temporarily entrusted with his political tasks until October 8. From October 22nd, he took full advantage of this and from that day on he headed the department for evangelical, teaching and medical matters in the ministry of Johann Albrecht Friedrich von Eichhorn . In addition, in 1841 he received the post of extraordinary government plenipotentiary at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin .

When Eichhorn resigned from all his offices due to the political upheavals of the March Revolution in 1848, Ladenberg administered the ministry under the briefly incumbent ministers Count Maximilian von Schwerin-Putzar and Johann Karl Rodbertus . Between July and November 1848 this was a provisional and later the real head of the ministry.

Ladenberg was, among other things, significantly involved in several innovations: the establishment of the Evangelical Upper Church Council of the Evangelical Regional Church in Prussia , preparation of a teaching law and a medical law as well as the initiation of a reorganization of the arts in all its parts.

On May 23, 1849, at the request of the church historian Ferdinand Karl Wilhelm Piper, on December 31, 1848, he decided to establish the Christian Museum at the former seminar for Christian archeology and art at the Humboldt University in Berlin. Piper became a conservator and the museum existed until the Second World War.

In the period from November 9th to December 12th, 1850, after the death of Friedrich Wilhelm Graf von Brandenburg on November 6th, Ladenberg was acting Prime Minister. Due to the Olomouc punctuation of November 29, 1850, Ladenberg actually felt compelled to resign, but failed to do so in favor of the implementation of some bills. He was later appointed to the Real Secret Council and as such he took over the management of the Chamber of Accounts.
