Carl Christian Hall

Carl Christian Hall (born February 25, 1812 in Christianshavn ; † August 14, 1888 ) was a Danish lawyer and statesman.

Life and effect

Hall studied law from 1829 to 1833, in the following years toured Germany, Switzerland, Italy, where he spent a winter, France and England, soon after his return (1839) was appointed auditor in the army and in 1847 lecturer in law from the University of Copenhagen .

In 1848 he was elected to the last meeting of the estates and moved from it to the Reich Assembly (Rigsdag), to which the same constituency has called him seven more times since then. Thanks to his great ability to speak and his energy, he rose to be one of the leaders of the national liberal (Eider-Danish) party. Appointed General Auditor of the Army in 1852, he lost this position again as a result of his opposition to the Ørsted Ministry . The reply he had given to the opening speech at the Reichstag in October 1854 led to the dissolution of the same. In December 1854 he was appointed Minister of Church and Education of the Kingdom, in October 1855 to the Council of State; in January 1856 the Folketing elected him to the Reichsrat, and in February he was given interim responsibility for religious affairs for Schleswig.

After Scheele's resignation, he became president of the congregation while retaining his ministry, but exchanged it on an interim basis in July 1858 and definitively with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in May of the following year.

The demand for the dismissal of Chamberlain Berling put an end to the Hall cabinet in November 1859 ; but it came back to the helm as early as February 1860, just put together a little differently. Hall represented the policy of the Eider- Danish Party , which aimed at the separation of the Elbe Duchies and the complete incorporation of Schleswig into the Danish state by the constitution of 1863, in numerous notes to the great powers against the protests of the German Confederation with great zeal and not without skill. However, this policy, stubbornly adhered to in the confidence of foreign help, led to a conflict with the German great powers, and Hall submitted his dismissal on December 24, 1863. In May 1870 Hall rejoined the Holstein-Holsteinborg cabinet as Minister of Culture , but in 1881 he withdrew completely from political life.
