Life

Sprengel was born in 1811 as the son of a Rostock businessman. He studied law at the University of Rostock , Göttingen and Heidelberg , which he completed in 1832 with a legal doctorate. He was a member of the Corps Vandalia Göttingen, Vandalia Rostock and Guestphalia Heidelberg . His student environment in Heidelberg included the later 1848 revolutionary Friedrich Hecker , the legal historian Karl Eduard Zachariae von Lingenthal and the Shakespeare researcher Karl Gisbert Friedrich von Vincke .

In 1841 Sprengel worked as a lawyer in Rostock, in the same year he was appointed city judge in Waren. He held this office until his death in 1854. In Waren he founded with his wife Marie Sprengel geb. Zeuner created the "bourgeois dynasty", from which personalities such as his daughter Auguste Sprengel as a teacher and women's rights activist and the pediatrician and surgeon Otto Sprengel emerged .

Sprengel was elected to the National Assembly for the 7th constituency (Waren) of Mecklenburg-Schwerin , to which he belonged from May 18, 1848 to May 24, 1849. As a member of the Augsburger Hof he represented the left center. He was a member of the "Economic Committee" from May 18, 1848, and of the committee for the investigation against Robert Blum from October 5, 1848 . From April 18 to May 24, 1849, during the difficult final phase of the National Assembly, he was Secretary of the House and was therefore jointly responsible for the publication of the shorthand reports , which are now a fundamentally important source for historical research. Albert Sprengel participated with numerous short speeches, especially on the so-called fundamental rights discussion of the National Assembly in the fall of 1848. He was considered quick-witted hecklers and continued his acquired judgeship life experience as a deputy effective one. In 1850 Sprengel was a member of the Erfurt Union Parliament .
