Adolf Franz Josef Bödiker (born July 30, 1835 in Meppen , † February 26, 1893 in Hildesheim ) was a German lawyer and politician (member of the Reichstag and the Prussian House of Representatives for the German Center Party ).

Origin and professional career

Adolf Bödiker belonged to a family of dignitaries who were highly respected and influential in the Emsland . a. the President of the Reich Insurance Office, Tonio Bödiker , came from. After attending high school in Meppen, he studied law in Heidelberg , Berlin and Göttingen from 1853 to 1856 . From 1856 to 1860, the lawyer worked as an auditor in Osnabrück and Hanover . In 1861 he became a court assessorpromoted, in 1863 as a magistrate and in 1867 the government transferred him to Hildesheim, where he was appointed senior judge in 1869. The very talented lawyer wrote numerous technical papers and acted from 1880 to 1889 as editor of the respected "Magazine for the German Law of the Present".

Political and parliamentary activity

Like the majority of the Emslanders, but not his family, Adolf Bödiker joined the Catholic Center Party, which inevitably ended another professional career, especially since he became a close employee of the center leader Ludwig Windthorst , who made his home constituency Meppen in the Reichstag and the Prussian House of Representatives represented. Windthorst made sure that his close colleague, even referred to by Julius Bachem as a "private secretary", was set up for the center in the election for the Prussian House of Representatives in the Rhenish constituency of Cologne 4 (Sieg - Mülheim am Rhein - Wipperfürth) in 1879. The constituency, which had three members and was a stronghold of the Center Party, sent him to the Prussian House of Representatives with a large majority or without any opposing candidates until his death. In addition, he was elected to the Reichstag in 1890 in the constituency of Cologne 6 (Mülheim a. Rh.-Wipperfürth, etc.). As an accomplished lawyer, Bödiker often spoke up in parliaments and was a particularly important person in the finance committees of both parliaments for the Center Party. In the Prussian House of Representatives, Bödiker, who is deeply rooted in the Emsland, campaigned vehemently for state canal construction plans in the Emsland and the county of Bentheim . His son Carl Bödiker became an important business leader in Hamburg.
