Balthasar Daller , knight of Daller since 1901 , (born January 22, 1835 in Gasteig near Niklasreuth , Miesbach district office; † March 3, 1911 in Freising ) was a Bavarian Catholic clergyman, high school professor and member of parliament.

Origin and occupation

Daller came from a farming family that had lived in Niklasreuth since the 17th century. He was born as one of seven children of Kasper and Magdalena Daller, who died early, attended the local elementary school before he switched to the two-class Latin school in Rosenheim in 1847 and to the grammar school in Freising in 1849 , which he graduated in 1855. In the same year he began to study philosophy and theology at the Lyceum in Freising, since 1856 for seven semesters at the University of Munich . Here he heard from Franz Michael Permaneder , Franz Xaver Reithmayr and Jakob Frohschammer ; Above all, however, he experienced the famous church historian Ignaz von Döllinger , who began to distance himself from Rome during these years (after the dogmatization of the Immaculate Conception of Mary in 1854) and against whom the young Daller adhered to a strict conservatism. In 1861 he received his doctorate with the award-winning work The mistake as a marriage obstacle . Already on June 5, 1860, he was a priest ordained Service. In 1862 he was appointed professor of religious studies at the Freising Gymnasium, and in 1864 he was finally appointed professor of canon law , church history and patrology at the Freising Lyceum. Daller taught here until the end of his life, since 1886 as rector of the lyceum. He published numerous articles in theological journals.

Way into politics

Daller's path into politics can be seen as typical of Catholic-Conservative representatives of his generation. After the Bavarian defeat in the German War , King Ludwig II appointed Chlodwig zu Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst as Chairman of the Council of Ministers, who pursued a small-German- oriented, economically liberal and anti-clerical policy that led to an oppositional politicization of the Catholic-conservative population and led to the establishment of the Bavarian Patriot Party . The education law draft of the Minister of Education Franz von Gresser of 1867 was of central importance. Daller also took part in public meetings in Freising against the draft law, which was intended to reduce the influence of the churches in elementary schools and to enable simultaneous schools . In 1868 the customs parliament election was due and when the candidates were drawn up in Freising, the Freisinger Casino was founded with Daller's assistance , in which he remained engaged for life and which he had been chairman since 1885. The Bavarian Patriotic Farmers' Association Tuntenhausen , founded by Daller and Ludwig von Arco-Zinneberg in 1869, was even more significant for the history of Political Catholicism in Bavaria. It soon gained national importance and was chaired by Daller from 1882 to 1911 after Count Arco's death.

Parliamentarians

Daller had been elected as a substitute in the elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Bavarian State Parliament in November 1869 in the Traunstein constituency . When the MP Franz Xaver Schmid (1800–1871), the parish priest of Traunstein, resigned his mandate, Daller followed him on February 14, 1871 into the Chamber. He belonged to the state parliament until his death: in the electoral period 1875–1881 he again represented the constituency of Traunstein, after which he was always elected in the constituency of Rosenheim (ie 1881, 1887, 1893, 1899, 1905 and 1907). The most important functions that Daller took on during his long membership in parliament were: permanent membership in the Finance Committee, the Chamber's most important committee, since 1879, from 1885 to 1899 advisor for the cultural budget in this committee, from 1899 to 1905 its chairman; From 1893 to 1911 he was also the commissioner for public debt repayment and in 1905, as in 1907, he was already the chamber's age-old president . He was also a member of a large number of committees.

From 1872 to 1899 he was also a member and second board member of the community college in Freising.

Faction leader

The basis for Daller's functions in the Chamber of Deputies was his position in his own faction, the Patriot Party, which had been part of the Bavarian Center Party since 1887. When he joined the Chamber in February 1871, the hard disputes over the November Treaties , which had led to a faction split, had just come through. The majority of the dissenting MPs, such as Max Huttler , returned to the parliamentary group in the light of the uplifting Bavarian culture war . However, massive tensions remained in the parliamentary group in the 1870s, which now came from clerical-democratic MPs like Alois Rittler , who wanted to meet the liberal and culturally militant government with stiff opposition. Daller stayed away from all these split tendencies and followed Joseph Edmund Jörg , the parliamentary group leader of those years. His election to the finance committee in 1879 could be seen as recognition within the faction. When Jörg resigned from the parliamentary group in 1881, Rittler succeeded for a short time in 1881/82 in setting the parliamentary group on a radical course up to and including denying the budget; but Rittler's failure and his turn towards Johann von Lutz cleared the way from 1882 for a collegial parliamentary group led by Daller, Julius Kopp , Franz Bonn and, from 1883, Georg Orterer . In the course of the 1880s, Daller succeeded in taking over leadership of the faction together with Orterer. In 1891 they were finally formally elected: Daller as parliamentary group leader, Orterer as his deputy. Daller found his calling in the function of parliamentary group chairman: "If the parliamentary group maintained its unity in decades of social and economic upheaval in the country despite different material interests and the clash of idiosyncratic characters, this was to a large extent thanks to Daller." ( Dieter Albrecht ) This ability to balance earned him the nickname "Father Daller" and in a tribute, probably written by Orterer, it was said that Daller had "the magical power to connect everyone through his fundamentally true, open, pure, soothing nature".

Balthasar von Daller succumbed to cancer and was buried on March 6, 1911 in the Freising Cemetery. His tomb has been preserved to this day.

Varia

Even Ludwig Thoma attacks the person Dallers in his satirical works over the Bavarian state parliament Filser. In the book " Jozef Filsers Briefwexel " (second volume, 1912) it says among other things:

" By having been with the military, I have to explain it to Dier that there is not only a discipline with the military, but also with inserner Bardei (= party). The general is the little shoe master orderer (= Georg von Orterer ), wherever you can Although you don’t pick up, soon you look at him with his crooked baker’s hooks, he’s really sharp. Dan get the upper hand, what lauder geischlinge Härren are and you’re already kneeling, the Bichler (= Provost Franz Seraph von Pichler ), the Daller (= Balthasar von Daller) and Schedler (= Franz Xaver Schädler ). There are captains and Leidnand, where there are also against Lauder Geischtlinge. "
