Wilhelm Uloth

Adam Heinrich Wilhelm Uloth (born March 1, 1804 in Homberg ; † April 11, 1885 in Wehlheiden ) was a German local politician, lawyer and councilor.

Life

Wilhelm Uloth was the son of the official schoolmaster Adam Heinrich Uloth and his wife Juliane nee Ledderhose. Uloth, who was an Evangelical Reformed denomination, married Rebecca Wilhelmine Schellhart (* approx. 1806/08; † March 7, 1866 in Witzenhausen), the daughter of the Grand Ducal Hessian captain Schellhart, around 1834 or earlier, probably in Lich.

Uloth studied law in Marburg from 1824 and was a senior court attorney in Marburg an der Lahn in 1839. Wilhelm Uloth was Lord Mayor of Marburg from November 4, 1846 to October 13, 1850 . During the tumult in the town hall against the muster, in which the walls were knocked over and some windows were thrown, Uloth refused to call the civil guard. Uloth also replaced the hated police director Wangemann and his police sergeant "Eisenschmidt", who had harassed many people. In 1850, Uloth was deposed from the ministry as the left-liberal mayor together with the liberal police director Siegmund Ungewitter. In 1850 he belonged to the Volkshaus of the Erfurt Union Parliament .

Nine times the citizens introduced the left-liberal brewer David Lederer for the office of Lord Mayor to the ministry, which nine times did not accept him and only accepted the appointment of the young assessor Rudolph. What did Ungewitter after this professional ban is unclear.

In 1850 he became district director of the Hersfeld administrative district. From 1851 he was district administrator in the Hersfeld district , from 1853 district administrator in the Kirchhain district and from 1856 to 1868 in the Witzenhausen district . Later he lived in Wehlheiden near Kassel.

Before 1856 Uloth worked in Kirchhain. The world traveler and left-liberal mayor Scheffer worked there during the pre-March period. He participated in the distribution of the second edition of the Hessischer Landbote by Georg Büchner and Pastor Friedrich Ludwig Weidig , which the Marburg doctor Leopold Eichelberg had revised and printed in the Elwertsche printing house in Marburg. All those involved that the Ministry of the Interior could get hold of received long prison terms. Because of this cooperation, Scheffer was sentenced to several years in prison and committed suicide as a result of the conditions in the prison. Eichelberg received 13 years imprisonment, of which he served two in Marburg, nine in Spangenberg and one and a half years in Kassel. Due to the proximity of Marburg to Kirchhain, Uloth had contact with left-liberal citizens, and it is unclear in what role he worked there.

When the Hessian elector Friedrich Wilhelm I decided for the Austrian side in the war between Austria and Prussia , he lost his country. After the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia, Adam Heinrich Wilhelm Uloth was elected member of the Prussian House of Representatives for the district of Kassel on November 7, 1867 . He was initially a member of the NLP faction and was non-attached from October 6, 1869. In the Reichstag election in 1874 he was a candidate for the Old Hessen particularists in the Reichstag constituency of Kassel 5 .
