from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Philipp Emil Freiherr von Hanstein (* 11. February 1772 in Kassel , † 8. April 1861 ibid) was Kurhessischer Minister for the Interior .

Life

origin

His parents were the forester Carl Wilhelm Heinrich von Hanstein (1738–1771) and his wife Hedwig Louise, b. Bulls (1742-1813).

Career

Since his father had died in a hunting accident before Carl Philipp was born, his mother ensured a good education. Carl attended the Casimirianum high school in Coburg and then went to Göttingen University in 1789 , where he studied law and natural sciences. In Göttingen he got to know numerous important personalities, such as the Humboldt and Nagler brothers and the later Minister von Wittgenstein.

After completing his studies, he came to the Imperial Court of Justice in Wetzlar in 1792 . In 1793 he moved to Marburg as an assessor , where he was appointed judicial councilor in 1800. With the integration of Kurhessen into the Napoleonic Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807, Hanstein was taken over into Westphalian service. He was now in charge of the investigation into gangs of robbers who were up to mischief at the time. With the end of the kingdom and the restitution of the Electorate of Hesse in 1813, he was first advisor in Marburg, but was soon promoted to government councilor. He was now mainly concerned with administrative activities, and when the judiciary and administration were separated in 1821 , he remained in the administrative service. In 1824 he was transferred to the episcopal chapter in Fulda as government director and commissioner . He ensured a good understanding and made friends with the later Bishop Johann Leonhard Pfaff . In 1832 he was transferred to Hanau as district president and conductor of the consistory . There he had to regulate the relationship between the class lords and the grand ducal government.

In 1834 he was appointed a privy councilor and transferred to Kassel as regional president of the province of Niederhessen . There he succeeded Johannes Hassenpflug , was Minister of State for the Interior of Hesse from 1837 to 1841 and retired on November 1, 1841. Wippermann describes him as "strictly adhering to the small forms of the ordinary course of business". He then worked as a genealogist for his family.
