August Wilhelm Pauli (diplomat)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

August Wilhelm Pauli (born May 29, 1781 in Lübeck , † April 20, 1858 in Rome ) was a German-Danish merchant and Hanseatic envoy in Copenhagen .

Life

August Wilhelm Pauli came from a reformed Lübeck merchant family. Franz Hinrich Pauli (1710–1777) came to Lübeck from Westphalia in 1728 and built up the FH Pauli und Sohn trading company . He had two sons: Franz Hinrich Pauli (1747–1823) and Adrian Wilhelm Pauli (1749–1815), married to Magdalena Poel and father of Carl Wilhelm Pauli . August Wilhelm Pauli was evidently a son of the younger Franz Hinrich Pauli.

He went to the local branch of the family business in Copenhagen. Since the end of the French occupation of the Hanseatic cities in 1814, he succeeded Heinrich Carl Meinig as Hanseatic agent and consul general in Copenhagen. In 1829 he was appointed Minister-Resident of the three Hanseatic cities at the royal Danish court. His later term of office was burdened by the increasing tensions in Schleswig-Holstein and the resistance of the Danish government against the planned rail connection between Hamburg and Lübeck. On June 30, 1848, according to a report by his brother-in-law Carl Brun , he said goodbye to the Schleswig-Holstein uprising and the hostility it caused in Copenhagen. His position remained vacant until the ambassador Friedrich Krüger succeeded him in 1855.

Since August 4, 1809 he was married to Charlotte, b. Brun (1788–1872), the oldest daughter of the partner in the family business Constantin Brun and Friederike Brun , who stayed in Denmark in 1848 with her brother Carl.

He spent the last years of his life in Rome. He was buried in the Protestant cemetery , where his grave has been preserved to this day.
