biography

Alois Hautt was born to the bookbinder Xaver Hautt and Aloysia Hautt, nee Acklin. Hautt attended schools in Lucerne. He then learned the trade of a book printer / bookbinder. Then he worked in the family business of the Hautt family. Until 1842 he was also the operator of a bookstore antiquarian.

At the municipal level, Alois Hautt began his political career by being elected to the Lucerne city council . On July 25, 1841 he became mayor and held this office until June 30, 1845. From 1841, Hautt also served as justice of the peace.

His political career at the cantonal level was membership in the Lucerne Grand Council (today Cantonal Council ), to which he belonged from 1841 to 1847. Alois Hautt was a member of the government council (cantonal government) of the canton of Lucerne from May 19, 1845 to 1847 . Alois Hautt was one of four representatives of the Canton of Lucerne when the Sonderbund was founded and has been a member of the conservative Central Committee since 1840. Politically, he leaned heavily on Constantin Siegwart-Müller and, like him, supported the return of the Jesuits to Lucerne. Alois Hautt was one of the founders of the historical association of the 5 places and from 1846 clerk of the Ruswiler association.

With the defeat of the Sonderbund in 1847, Alois Hautt's political career also ended. To avoid arrest, he lived in secret in the canton of Nidwalden from 1847 to 1853. After the pardon, he returned to Lucerne.
