Adolf Hirzel

Franz Gustav Adolf Hirzel (born December 17, 1809 in Künzelsau , † October 17, 1898 in Kirchheim unter Teck ) was a German politician.

Life

Hirzel's parents were the camera administrator in Künzelsau Johann Christian Hirzel (1778–1834), from 1824 senior magistrate in Spaichingen, and his wife Eleonora Hirzel (1787–1866). He had seven siblings.

He attended high school in Herrenberg . He then studied camera science at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen . In 1827 he became a member of the Germania Tübingen fraternity . In 1831 he also joined the Corps Guestphalia I, which had been donated by the Concordia fraternity. After completing his studies, he became a senior official in Kirchheim. During the German Revolution of 1848/1849 Adolf Hirzel remained loyal to the government. That is why he was called "the black Hirzel" in Kirchheim, in contrast to his brother, the town clerk Otto Hirzel, who was enthusiastic about the ideas of the revolution and was therefore called "the red Hirzel". Hirzel was elected to the Württemberg state parliament in 1851 with 393 of 738 votes cast in the Kirchheim constituency. He was a member of this until 1856. In 1868 Adolf Hirzel ran again for election, but lost to Carl Christian Maier . He was married to Paulina Catherina Gmeiner (1820-1894) since 1839. The marriage had eight children.
