Bruno Huschke

Bruno Eugen Huschke (born April 6, 1836 in Greußen ; † October 22, 1910 in Erfurt ) was a lawyer, politician and author of contemporary historical notes in the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen .

Life

Bruno's father was Carl Eduard August Huschke (1804–1887), lawyer, mayor in Greußen 1841–1848, district administrator in Greußen 1850–1857 and in Ebeleben 1857–1877. Eduard was, with interruptions, a member of the Landtag in Sondershausen and President of the Landtag from 1843 to 1863. Bruno's mother was Charlotte Auguste Franke (1804–1874) from his father's second marriage.

After graduating from high school in Sondershausen in autumn 1855, Huschke studied law in Göttingen; from 1856 he was a member of the Lusitania corps. In February 1859 he began his first professional activities as an assessor in Ebeleben, Greußen, Arnstadt; from June 1861 with the district administrator in Ebeleben (his father); then at the court and with the lawyer Theodor Dorl in Sondershausen. In December 1862 he was appointed a lawyer in Ebeleben.

Bruno married Luise Maempel (* 1841 in Hamburg, † 1936 in Dresden) in October 1864. She was the youngest daughter of Ernst Maempel (* 1794 in Arnstadt , † 1863 ibid), who had lived for many years as a merchant in Hamburg, most recently (until 1853) as consul of the principality. The couple had four children.

In 1872 Huschke was appointed and sworn in as a notary in Ebeleben. At the end of 1972 he moved his residence and work to Greußen. From 1876 he was in Sondershausen. When the judicial system was reorganized in 1879, the Sondershäuser Court lost part of its functions on October 1, while a new regional court was set up in Erfurt . Huschke was registered there as a resident lawyer, from 1891 (at the latest) also as a notary; it was held there until 1909.

Huschke was a judiciary in Erfurt (1883 at the latest), later a secret judicial advisor (around 1909). For his 50th anniversary in his career, he received the Schwarzburg Cross of Honor, 2nd class , in 1909 .

politics

Huschke was a member of the Landtag in Sondershausen from 1868 to 1880: from 1868 to 1871 in the group for the general elections (elected indirectly, by electors), and also from 1872 to 1875. For 1876–1879 he was directly elected by the highest taxable people of the subordinate rule. The state parliament elected him as syndic for 1877-1880. He was a permanent member of the state parliament committee: in 1868 he was elected to represent a committee member; In 1873 he became a direct member of the subordinate committee. From 1876 he was a lawyer.

Huschke counted himself among the national liberals . In the election for the constituent Reichstag of the North German Confederation in February 1867, Huschke applied himself, but only came third. In a replacement election (after Günther Keyser's resignation ) on March 31, 1870, he campaigned - together with Reinhold Bärwinkel and other national liberal lawyers - for the candidate Kanngießer , but only with his legal competence. Similar to the election for the first Reichstag of the German Empire on March 3, 1871. In the Reichstag election on January 10, 1874 he then - again together with Bärwinkel and other National Liberals - campaigned for the candidate Valentin as the successor of Kanngießer very explicitly from a national liberal perspective. The call for the re-election of Valentin on January 10, 1877 is essentially justified by a sharp rejection of the Social Democrats.

Publication: Pictures of Life from Schwarzburg-Sondershausen

In the magazine Der Deutsche from 1902 to 1904 a series of notes appeared in the category Kleines Feuilleton, which reported under the title Lebensbilder from Schwarzburg-Sondershausen on the first constitutional life in the Principality (around 1841 to 1862). The relationship between the 19 contributions is not always clearly marked - here and there also misleading. It can be divided into chapters like this:

[A]	[Introduction.] In Der Deutsche 1902, No. 121 .
[B]	[The Privy Council's College.] In Der Deutsche 1902, No. 122 .
[C]	The state constitution. In Der Deutsche 1902, No. 123 and 124 .
[D]	The first state parliament. In Der Deutsche 1902, No. 126 and 127 .
[E]	From the time of the first state parliament. In Der Deutsche 1902, No. 236 and 237 .
[F]	Privy Councilor von Holleuffer. In Der Deutsche 1902, No. 247 and 248 .
[G]	The year 1848. In Der Deutsche 1903, No. 81 , 82 and 83 .
[H]	Minister von Elsner and the reaction. In Der Deutsche 1904, nos. 191 and 192 .
[J]	The grammar school [in Sondershausen]. In Der Deutsche 1904, No. 154, 155 and 156.
[K]	Old stories [from Forester Irmisch]. In Der Deutsche 1904, No. 178 .

(Chapter H follows G in terms of content, but is the last to be printed.)

The “highly interesting articles written in an attractive form and with pleasant frankness” do not have the author's name, but only (from E Part 1 onwards) a sign “(H.)”. It was not until the editorial news of Huschke's death in German that it was made public that he was the author. The autobiographical remarks in G Part 1 fit in with this. However, it means that the impressions and evaluations communicated are largely not based on personal experience. Bruno Huschke may have learned a lot from his father Eduard, who was one of the actors in the events; for example in D part 1 and in G part 3.

On pp. 180–212, Lutze quotes copiously from the Life Pictures (not always with exact references), occasionally also critically. Other authors like to refer to it too, e.g. B. Lammert, Constitutional History and Gymnasium ; Hirschler (E part 2); Lengemann p. 32 (H part 1).
