Life

Römer studied Protestant theology at the University of Tübingen from 1812 to 1814 , became a member of the Hellenia Abbey in Tübingen in 1814 , was in the military in 1813/14, was re-enrolled in Tübingen in 1814, now as a student. jur and became a member of the Corps Würtembergia in 1815, was relegated in 1816 because of "country team activities" on the occasion of a duel investigation . He returned and took his final exam.

After working in military justice, most recently as a war councilor, he resigned from the civil service in 1833 because as an official he was refused to exercise his mandate and worked as a lawyer. From 1833 to 1838 and then again from 1845 to 1848 he was a member of the Württemberg state parliament .

As one of the leading southern German liberals, he took part in the Heppenheim conference and the Heidelberg assembly . He was a member of the Committee of Seven , which prepared the convening of the preliminary parliament and the Frankfurt National Assembly.

In March 1848, as part of the March Revolution, he was appointed Minister of Justice in Württemberg and in fact led the affairs of state for the March government in Stuttgart . Through his efforts, Württemberg was the first kingdom to adopt the imperial constitution on April 28, 1849 .

In 1848 he was made an honorary citizen of the city of Stuttgart.

In 1848 he was a member of the preliminary parliament . From May 18, 1848 to June 6, 1849 he was a non-attached member of parliament for Göppingen in the Frankfurt National Assembly. Among other things, he was a member of the constitutional committee. In May 1849 he organized the move of the failed National Assembly from the Frankfurt Paulskirche to the Stuttgart Ständehaus ( rump parliament ) . However, since the resolutions passed there called into question the autonomy of Württemberg and represented a threat to the integrity of the state, his parliamentary activities were no longer compatible with his role as Justice Minister of the Kingdom of Württemberg . Therefore, he resigned his mandate, withdrew the meeting place on June 8, 1849 from the rump parliament, which had only been meeting since June 6, 1849, and expelled the assembly from Württemberg on June 17. He was then attacked by the left as a gravedigger of the Frankfurt National Assembly.

After leaving the government in October 1849, he was again a member of the Württemberg state parliament in 1850, to which he belonged until 1863. His successor as the new leading minister was Johannes von Schlayer .

Römer was married twice and had four children from his first and eight children from his second marriage. One of his children from his first marriage was the legal scholar and politician Robert Römer , from his second marriage the lawyer Max Römer (MdR).
