Alexander Groschke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Adolf Alexander Groschke (born March 23, 1821 ; † January 27, 1871 in Berlin ) was a German administrative officer and parliamentarian.

Life

Alexander Groschke studied law at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . In 1842 he became a member of the Corps Saxo-Borussia Heidelberg . After completing his studies and completing his legal clerkship, he entered the Prussian civil service. In 1852 he was appointed as a court assessor to the district administrator of the district of Frankenstein (Silesia) . In January 1861 he received Karl von Holtei there , who had come to give a lecture and wrote about Groschke: "It is impossible to be more courteous and kind to a traveling old singer." Groschke held the office until his death in 1871.

In 1851 Groschke married the daughter of the railway and insurance company Otto Crelinger and the actress Auguste Stich-Crelinger , Johanne Henriette Emilie Auguste Crelinger (1828–1900). In Holtei's memories, she is referred to as a “clever, beautiful, lovable woman” whom the author knew as a child when he was a child in Berlin. After Groschke died deeply in debt, his widow had to make a living in Berlin with an educational boarding school for older daughters.

There were several children from this marriage. From the estate of the music educator Clara Groschke, a now lost portrait of Auguste Crelinger as the Maiden of Orleans (1818) by Friedrich Georg Weitsch and a portrait of her great-grandfather Johann Jacob Crelinger were brought to the Märkisches Museum .

Groschke belonged in the 3rd legislative period from 1852 to 1855 as a member of the constituency of Breslau 4 of the second chamber of the Prussian state parliament. In the 10th and 11th legislative period he sat from 1867 until his death in 1871 for the constituency of Breslau 9 (Frankenstein, Münsterberg) as a member of the conservative party in the Prussian House of Representatives .
