Bruno Erhard Abegg (born January 17, 1803 in Elbing , † December 16, 1848 in Berlin ) was a German politician. His cousin was the criminal lawyer Julius Abegg . His great-nephew Wilhelm Abegg founded the modern Prussian police in Prussia.
Life
Abegg was the son of a businessman and a secret councilor in Elbing. He first attended high school in Elbing, then studied law in Heidelberg and Königsberg from 1822 . In 1826 he received his doctorate in Heidelberg and then worked in Danzig and Königsberg, where he was employed at the Higher Regional Court. In 1831 he acquired an estate in the Fischhausen district and in 1833 became district administrator there. In the autumn of 1835, at the instigation of the Oberpräsident von Schön, he initially went to Königsberg as police chief on an interim basis and was permanently employed in 1836. In 1840 he turned down an offered title of nobility. He worked in Königsberg until 1845 and was then transferred to Berlin. After a brief interlude in the Berlin Ministry of Finance (1845), he went to Breslau that same year with the title of a secret government councilor as royal commissioner of the Upper Silesian Railway . During the unrest in 1848 he took part in a petition to King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia and headed the city deputations from Liegnitz and Breslau, which the king received on March 21, breaking the previous constitutional conditions in Prussia and who called for a new electoral law without a class advisory board. The king rejected the demands and sent Abegg a royal proclamation on March 22nd, which repeated the rejection and listed a few points that the king wanted to submit to the people's assembly. In the same year Abegg was a member of the preliminary parliament and vice-president of the committee of fifties . He was not a member of the Frankfurt National Assembly, but he was elected to the Prussian National Assembly by the Kreuznach district. Because of his poor health, he was absent from the meeting that had been moved to Brandenburg and died that same year in Berlin.
Abegg was a Freemason and from 1834 until his death in 1848 a member of the Lodge Zum Todtenkopf and Phoenix in Koenigsberg.
