Carl Wilhelm Wendhausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Wilhelm Wendhausen , completely Helmuth Carl Wilhelm Wendhausen (born February 4, 1812 in Scharstorf, today part of Dummerstorf ; † August 29, 1872 in Gorschendorf, today part of Malchin ) was a German lawyer, landowner and member of parliament.

Life

Carl Wilhelm Wendhausen was a son of the landowner Carl Wilhelm Wendhausen (1772–1830) on Scharstorf and his wife Anna Catharina, nee. Evers.

He studied law at the University of Berlin and from October 1831 at the University of Rostock .

In 1831 he and his brothers took over the Scharstorf estate, which his father had inherited. The estate was sold in 1836, and Carl Wilhelm Wendhausen acquired the Gorschendorf estate for himself, where he lived from then on as heir and court lord.

Like most of the bourgeois landowners in Mecklenburg, he campaigned for a reform of the estates' constitution. In the spring of the revolutionary year 1848 he was one of the representatives of Mecklenburg in the Frankfurt pre-parliament , which was supposed to prepare the election of the Frankfurt National Assembly. To this end it worked closely with the Bundestag of the German Confederation . The assembly met from March 31 to April 3, 1848 in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt . In the subsequent election to the Frankfurt National Assembly, he was elected to replace Eduard Haupt in Mecklenburg-Schwerin constituency 2 (Wismar) . When Haupt gave up his mandate at the end of January 1849 and returned to Mecklenburg, Wendhausen, the designated successor, did not accept the mandate, so that Hellmuth Wöhler was elected as Haupt's successor.

In a by-election on October 20, 1848 for the Mecklenburg Assembly of Representatives , Carl Wilhelm Wendhausen stood in two constituencies: Mecklenburg-Schwerin 43 ( Groß Niendorf ) and Mecklenburg-Schwerin 71 ( Dargun ) and was elected in both. He accepted the election in constituency 71 and joined the right Centrum faction . After the collapse of the constitutional and democratic aspirations through the Freienwalder arbitration award of September 14, 1850, he no longer appeared politically.

He was involved in the Mecklenburg Patriotic Association and was its district director for the Malchin district.

In 1862 he sold Gorschendorf to the grand ducal chamber.
