Daniel Fenner from Fenneberg
Daniel Ferdinand Fenner von Fenneberg (* 1820 in Trient / Tyrol ; † February 15, 1863 in Bregenz ) was one of the leaders of the uprising in the Palatinate in 1849 and a writer.
Life
Fenner von Fenneberg was the son of the Austrian Lieutenant Field Marshal Franz Philipp Fenner von Fenneberg (1762-1824) and joined the Austrian army in 1837 as a cadet . In 1843 he resigned and later published a critical work Austria and his army (1847), in which he attacked the Austrian army organization.
After leaving Austria for a short time, he returned to Vienna in 1848 and was adjutant to Wenzel Messenhauser , the commander of the rebellious National Guard , during the Vienna October Uprising in 1848 .
When the uprising began in the Palatinate in 1849, he turned there and was briefly appointed Commander-in-Chief and Chief of the General Staff of the Palatinate People's Army. The unsuccessful attempt to take Landau fortress by surprise cost him his posts.
On August 4, 1849, an Austrian court revoked his title of nobility for high treason , so that his official name was only Daniel Fenner. After the uprising in the Palatinate and Baden had been suppressed, Fenner von Fenneberg turned to Switzerland . However, he was expelled from Zurich and then went to America , where he had published the German-language weekly Atlantis in New York City since 1851 .
He described his experiences during the revolutionary period in the books History of the Vienna October Days (Part 1 Leipzig 1849) and On the History of the Rhenish Palatinate Revolution and the Baden Uprising (Zurich 1850).
In 1858 Fenner von Fenneberg became insane. He returned to Europe and died on February 15, 1863 in Bregenz.
