Benjamin Friedrich Haakh

Benjamin Friedrich Gottlieb Haakh (born February 26, 1778 in Tübingen ; † August 9, 1825 in Heilbronn ) was a German lawyer and politician .

Life

Haakh was a ducal court advisor in Brunswick and worked as a lawyer in Heilbronn, but had also lived in Paris for some time . In 1812 he belonged to a consortium that took over the Princely Hohenlohe saltworks in Weißbach by purchase and built the new Ludwigshalle saltworks in the Hessian town of Wimpfen not far from Heilbronn from 1818 to 1820 . In 1821 a stock corporation was established to operate it - the oldest in the Grand Duchy of Hesse - in which Haakh held 25 of 1,000 shares.

From 1815 to 1817, Haakh represented the Oberamt Besigheim in the Württemberg state assemblies , where he belonged to the opposition, and on June 2, 1817, he voted against the adoption of the draft constitution. In 1819 he was for the city of Heilbronn in the Chamber of Deputies of Wurttemberg estates elected, where he was secretary of the board and the commitment of the June 19, 1820 Geschwindschreibers encouraged because the previously-made by the secretaries protocols were often unsatisfactory. In August Winter , the chamber actually hired a stenographer for the first time. On December 1, 1820, Haakh resigned from the mandate. In a replacement election in 1821 , August Schreiber was elected as his successor, who had already represented Heilbronn at the meeting of the estates in 1819.

family

Haakhs father Johann Friedrich Haakh (* 1745; † 1815 or 1817), who was born in Stuttgart , had worked his way up from the Stuttgart orphanage to a civil servant career. He was a royal Danish budget counselor and a court councilor to the grand ducal Mecklenburg, and from 1782 he was Count Erbachsch chancellery director. In 1776 he married Haakhs mother, the pastor's daughter Johanna Beata Conz (1756–1823) from Frommern . Benjamin Friedrich Haakh had three brothers and four sisters, of whom three sisters and his brother Imanuel Israel Gotthold Haakh (1783–1812, businessman in Heilbronn) reached adulthood.

In 1810 Haakh married his wife Maria Elisabeth Liesching (1784-1824). The marriage produced five children, including the two sons Carl Friedrich Haakh (1811-1851, pastor) and Adolf Friedrich Haakh (1815-1881, classical philologist and antiquarian).
