from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adolf Ludwig Freiherr Marschall von Bieberstein (born March 10, 1806 in Karlsruhe , † September 11, 1891 in Unteribental ) was a Baden politician and diplomat.

origin

Adolf Marschall von Bieberstein came from the Meißnian family Marschall von Bieberstein .

Marschall von Bieberstein was a son of the later Baden State Minister Karl Wilhelm Marschall von Bieberstein (1773-1817) and his wife Wilhelmine nee von Reck (1782-1856). The older brother August Friedrich (1804-1888) was the longstanding envoy of the Grand Duchy of Baden to the Bundestag in Frankfurt am Main.

Life

From 1813 to 1817 during his father's embassy at the Württemberg court, Marschall attended the Lyceum in Stuttgart, and from 1817 to 1824 the Lyceum in Karlsruhe. With his older brother enrolled he on May 4, 1824, the Georg-August University of Göttingen for heads of state and finance. Like his brother, he was active in the Corps Bado-Württembergia. With him he moved on May 5, 1825 to the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . In 1828, after passing the exam, he joined the Baden state service as a camera intern at the domain administration in Freiburg . Soon he moved to the Ministry of Finance in Karlsruhe and in 1833 joined the Ministry of the Interior as an assessor. Here he served as secretary to Minister Ludwig Georg Winter . In 1837 Marshal was appointed Ministerialrat and he was given the task of preparing the draft law for the construction of a railway from Mannheim to Basel. For this purpose, the meeting of the estates met from February 12 to March 26, 1838 for a first extraordinary state parliament with four sessions of the First Chamber and 10 sessions of the Second Chamber, at which Marshal von Bieberstein acted as government commissioner. This extraordinary state parliament also went down in history as the so-called "railway state parliament". In 1844 Marschall was appointed director of the Higher Directorate of Water and Road Construction and remained so until the escalation of the Baden Revolution in spring 1849. During the state parliament period from 1847 to 1849, Marschall also represented the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg in the First Chamber. In order to evade the grip of the revolutionaries, Marschall and his family went to Lauterburg in Alsace in April 1849 . In June 1849, while in exile in Mainz, Grand Duke Leopold appointed him head of the Ministry of the Interior and Council of State in the newly formed Klüber government . After the suppression of the Baden Revolution through the intervention of the German Federal Princes led by Prussia, Marschall returned to Karlsruhe in August 1849. In June 1853 he resigned from the management of the Ministry of the Interior after differences of opinion arose within the Rüdt government in the conflict between the imminent Badischer Kulturkampf and the Archdiocese of Freiburg . After a temporary retirement, Marschall went to Berlin in 1856 as a Baden envoy to the court of the King of Prussia . There he conducted the negotiations in the run-up to the wedding of Grand Duke Friedrich von Baden with Princess Luise of Prussia . During his time in Berlin, Marschall established closer contacts with some outstanding personalities in scientific life such as Alexander von Humboldt , August Boeckh and Alexander Braun . In addition to Prussia, Marshal was also accredited as envoy to the courts of the kings of Saxony and Hanover . In Dresden he succeeded in attaining the personal friendship of King John of Saxony . In 1863, Marshal traveled to St. Petersburg for the wedding of Prince Wilhelm von Baden and Princess Maria Maximilianowna von Leuchtenberg . In May 1864, Marshal entered the retirement he had requested when he was awarded the title Real Privy Councilor . The reason for this early retirement are the differences that Marschall and the Baden Foreign Minister at the time, Franz von Roggenbach, had on important political issues. While Roggenbach strove for the unity of Germany under the leadership of a militarily strong Prussia and was a stern opponent of ultramontanism , Marschall no longer wanted to support this policy of violent confrontation.

Private life

Adolf Ludwig Freiherr Marschall von Bieberstein belonged to the Protestant Church. In 1846 he married his cousin Marie (1819–1904), the daughter of the Nassau State Minister Ernst Franz Ludwig Marschall von Bieberstein, who died in 1834 . The marriage resulted in two sons and a daughter, including the son Adolf (1848–1920), who was Baden's Foreign Minister from 1905 to 1911. After his retirement in 1864, Marschall took his main residence in Freiburg, where the family of his older brother August also lived.
