August Wilhelm Heidemann
August Wilhelm Heidemann (born July 30, 1773 in Stargard in Pomerania ; † November 15, 1813 in Königsberg i. Pr. ) Was a German legal scholar and the second Lord Mayor of Königsberg.
Life
The son of the director of the Pomeranian criminal college, Johann Egidius Heidemann, and his wife Elisabeth Leberecht , he received his first training at his place of birth. In 1792 he completed a law degree at the Friedrichs University in Halle . Here he received his doctorate in law in 1799 . He was then a trainee lawyer at the Superior Court in Berlin. On February 9, 1802, he followed the call of the Albertus University in Königsberg to its chair for law. In connection with this he was appointed to the government council on December 20, 1802. In that function he also took part in the organizational tasks of the Albertina. He was rector in the summer semester of 1805 and vice-rector in the winter semester and in the summer semester of 1809.
Heidemann, who had also participated in the municipal tasks in Königsberg, was appointed Lord Mayor of Königsberg on May 10, 1810. Thereupon he resigned all university offices. After taking part in the formation of the East Prussian Landwehr in 1813 , he died of the consequences of the associated efforts at the age of 40.
Whether Friedrich Wilhelm Heidemann (1793-1869), who was celebrated as the first volunteer of the liberation war of 1813, was, as claimed, a son of the Königsberg mayor, is unlikely, since he married for the first time in 1800.
