Life

Origin and education

Bruno Eichhorn was born as the son of the appellate judge and most recently president of the regional court in Trier , Friedrich Eichhorn (born September 15, 1809 in Trier; died October 1, 1886 there) and his wife Cäcilie Eichhorn, née Heffter (born February 21, 1840 in Berlin; died 27 April 1886) March 1908 in Trier), born. After initial private lessons, he first attended the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium in Cologne and, after his father's change of job, the Gymnasium in Trier, where he passed his school leaving examination at Easter 1882 . He then started studying law in Heidelberg , Berlin and Bonn , which he completed by taking the first state examination on July 13, 1885 at the Higher Regional Court in Cologne, which emerged from the Court of Appeal in 1879 and to which the Trier Regional Court was subordinate. His studies were interrupted by the performance of his military duty as a one-year volunteer from October 1, 1882 to October 1, 1883 in the 1st Guard Dragoons Regiment in Berlin. In Heidelberg he became a member of the Vineta Heidelberg fraternity in 1882 .

His legal training he continued after his appointment as court clerk (July 21, 1885; swearing July 28) continued at the District Court of Trier. When he entered the Prussian administrative service, he switched to the Royal Prussian Government in Magdeburg as a government trainee on September 8, 1887 . This was followed by taking the major state examination on November 22, 1890, with the subsequent appointment as a government assessor and transfer as an unskilled worker to the district office of the Aachen district and from there on September 23, 1893 in the same function to the Royal Prussian government in Koblenz .

Career

After the death of the 35-year-old district administrator of the Merzig district, Harry Böninger, on May 31, 1894, Eichhorn was temporarily commissioned with the administration of the district office on July 13. His final appointment with effect from March 1 followed on February 18, 1895. During his eighteen years at the Saar , he was also a member of the Prussian state parliament from 1909 to 1912 . When Eichhorn was finally again provisionally entrusted with the takeover of a district office by decree of June 22, 1912, he succeeded a colleague who had previously died in the service. His predecessor in the administration of the Krefeld district, Karl Limbourg , died on May 26, 1912 after 24 years of service. His definitive appointment as district administrator in Krefeld received by Eichhorn Most High Cabinet Order of January 6, 1913. During his years in office Krefeld was him on 12 January 1914, the character of the Privy Councilor awarded. In the course of the First World War , he was also responsible for the administration of the neighboring Neuss District Office from December 1916 to November 1918, after the District Administrator Alexander von Brandt , who had previously worked there, had been transferred to the Royal Prussian Government in Düsseldorf on December 1, 1916 as Senior Councilor.

When he was appointed on November 7, 1919 and at the same time promoted to the senior councilor of the Trier government , Eichhorn was finally assigned his last place of employment. Taking up his new position on March 2, 1920, he found an administration that had to administer a significantly reduced territory due to the separation of the Saar area as a result of the resolutions of the Peace Treaty of Versailles . While still under the Trier district president Johannes Fuchs , Eichhorn received his appointment as vice president and thus his representative on February 22, 1922. He remained in this rank when in October 1922 in Konrad Saaßen , his successor as Krefeld District Administrator, now became his superior in Trier. Like him, he was each expelled shortly afterwards during the Rhineland occupation by the Interallied Rhineland Commission from January 24, 1923 to October 1924. During this phase Eichhorn fell ill, which is why he could no longer take up his service and was retired on October 1, 1925 for health reasons. He died three months later in Baden-Baden.
