Albert Wichura

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Albert Wichura (* 1808 in Brieg , Silesia ; † February 23, 1862 in Oderberg , Austrian Silesia ) was a German lawyer and member of parliament.

Wichura was the son of a judicial commissioner in Racibórz. He was married to Agnes Linke and was of Protestant denomination.

Wichura studied law in Berlin from 1827 and then in Munich, Heidelberg and Breslau. He was then an ausculator and trainee lawyer in Breslau . In 1838 he became a higher regional judge and in 1840 a judicial commissioner and notary in Ratibor. He finished his military service as a lieutenant in the 22nd Landwehr Regiment.

In 1839 he acquired the Lubowitz manor. In 1841 he was elected the first candidate for the district office by the district councils with 16 of 29 votes. In 1842 he was appointed by the Prince of Prussia ("on the highest order") against the vote of the Interior Minister Gustav von Rochow as Prussian district administrator in the Ratibor district in the province of Silesia . He remained in office until 1851. His administration was overshadowed by complaints about the administration, political views and, above all, his personal financial circumstances. There were 25 trials against him, culminating in personal detention for the enforcement of a title from bill debts. A disciplinary investigation into embezzlement of funds was stopped in 1851, but in 1852 he was dismissed from civil service by a judgment of the Disciplinary Court.

In 1850 he was a member of the Volkshaus of the Erfurt Union Parliament .
