Bruno von Schrötter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bruno Freiherr von Schrötter (born August 17, 1816 in Marienwerder , West Prussia , † June 7, 1888 in Berlin ) was a German administrative lawyer and judge.

Life

Bruno von Schrötter came from a Prussian family of soldiers and officials who enjoyed the Brandenburg nobility recognition in 1686 and the Prussian recognition of the baron class in 1716. He was the son of Ferdinand Ludwig Freiherr von Schrötter (1785–1863), a Prussian Privy Councilor of Justice and Higher Appeal Judge, and Maria Elisabeth born. Wedeke (1789–1849), daughter of the Lutheran theologian and Rector of the University of Königsberg Johann Christoph Wedeke . He had three brothers Adelbert (1817–1874), Theobald (1820–1881) and Eduard (1822–1883).

Career

Von Schrötter attended the Marienwerder high school . After training as an auscultator, he entered the Prussian judicial service in 1840. In 1845 he was appointed court assessor. From 1845 to 1850 he worked as a judge at various courts in East and West Prussia. After a brief activity as a district judge in Karthaus , he was district administrator in the Prussian Stargard (1850–1851) and Wittgenstein (1851) districts.

On October 1, 1851, he was appointed district administrator of the Wittgenstein district in Berleburg . On July 1, 1854, he was put into temporary retirement due to financial irregularities; prosecution and disciplinary proceedings were waived. The office of district administrator was provisionally taken over from July 30, 1854 to 1855 by the civil servant Jost.

On January 17, 1855 Von Schrötter was handed over the provisional management of the Reichenbach district in the Eulengebirge . On June 16, 1856, by means of a Prussian cabinet order, Schrötters was reinstated and the provisional administration of the Goldap district was transferred . On February 16, 1857 he was appointed district administrator in Goldap.

Bruno von Schrötter was put into temporary retirement on December 9, 1864. The reasons put forward include illegality in the granting of liquor licenses and hunting licenses, deranged financial circumstances, hunting offenses and - according to the presentation in the files, this seems to have been of some importance - exclusion from the Masonic lodge in Goldap according to the formal resolution.

On April 24, 1866 he became a trial literary assistant at the Berlin Police Headquarters and from 1865 director of the literary office at the Berlin Police Headquarters. In 1873/74 Bruno von Schrötter was repeatedly sentenced to imprisonment for insulting high-ranking personalities (King Ludwig II , Otto von Bismarck , Albrecht von Roon ). On March 18, 1874, Bruno von Schrötter was sentenced by the Prussian Disciplinary Court to dismissal without a pension. His Christian-conservative attitude was also justified as the background for his dismissal; In the Kulturkampf , von Schrötter, who converted to the Roman Catholic Church in 1875, stood up for the interests of the Catholic Church. Another reason for his dismissal from civil service was given in his commitment to the Berlin Masonic Lodge "Germania zur Einigkeit".

An election as a member of the German Reichstag in 1874 in the constituency of Wiedenbrück-Bielefeld for the center was unsuccessful, although he had the majority in the first ballot.

family

He married Ida Adelgunde von Platen (1829-1915) from the Pomeranian noble family of Platen on October 6, 1850 in Neustadt, West Prussia . His father-in-law was Ludwig Ernst von Platen (1804–1869), a manor owner, Knight of St. John and District Administrator of Neustadt in West Prussia. From the marriage came:

  • Elisabeth Emma Ida Maria (* December 28, 1852; † 1937), writer and Dominican (pseudonyms: Elisabeth von Berge, Felicitas vom Berge, Sister Maria Gabriela).
  • Martha Luise Ferdinande Olga (born June 8, 1853)
