Daniel Friedrich Gottlob Teichert (born February 1, 1796 in Berlin ; † September 21, 1853 there ) was a Prussian officer and elected member of the German National Assembly in Frankfurt am Main 1848/1849. There he introduced the term Bundeswehr as the name of a people's armed forces , which should be composed of the united vigilante groups of individual states of the German Confederation . A good hundred years later this term was used to denote the Bundeswehr .

Life

Teichert was born as the second son of the Berlin- Luisenstadt vinegar manufacturer Johann August Friedrich Teichert (1767–1832) and his wife Charlotte Louise, nee. Krause (1767–1831), born. In 1813 he volunteered to fight as a member of the Prussian army in the Wars of Liberation against the French Empire . As an officer in the artillery , he took part in the battles at Großgörschen , Bautzen , Leipzig and Reims . For this, the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. the iron cross . After the Wars of Liberation, Teichert received several troop commands. With the rank of captain he married Emilie (1800-1853), the daughter of the late mathematician Johann Philipp Hobert (1758-1826). Because of his education and pedagogical skills, Teichert was appointed teacher at the United Artillery and Engineering School in Berlin in 1846 , where his father-in-law had already worked. At the same time he became a member of the Royal Artillery Examination Commission . In these functions he held the military rank of major .

The democratic character of his parents' house, his political interest and his contacts to liberal circles within the Prussian military prompted him to run for the Frankfurt National Assembly as a representative of the Brandenburg electoral district of Dorotheenstadt ( Dorotheenstadt church district ) in the course of the German Revolution . In this election he was elected on May 10, 1848 with 59 of 109 votes. Politically, Teichert belonged to the casino faction , which advocated the form of a constitutional monarchy for the intended German nation- state . Teichert concentrated his political work on the committee for the navy, where he played a special role in connection with the establishment of a Reichsflotte and the inspection of suitable port locations , as well as on the committee for people's armament and army.

Handover of the Hamburg flotilla to the Reich Commissioners Teichert and Moering on October 14, 1848

On October 5, 1848, he was appointed by the Provisional Central Authority , which in turn had been installed by the Frankfurt National Assembly in the summer of 1848, alongside the Austrian Karl Moering as one of the Reich Commissioners for the takeover of the "Hamburg Flotilla" into the Reich fleet. On October 14, 1848, the "Reich Commissioner Major Teichert" took part as one of the "Plenipotentiaries of German Imperial Power" at a "significant celebration" in an "uplifting solemn act" in the Port of Hamburg, with a salute and "cheering from the assembled people “The German flag was raised and the first five warships of the Reichsflotte, including the Deutschland , were received. In taking the oath he took from the marines of the flotilla, he admonished them "that they should always be mindful of their profession and that they should fulfill their duty with loyalty and love."

On March 5, 1849, as a reporter, he brought in a "report on a proposal submitted to the Defense Committee of the National Assembly for the formation of a vigilante association in the Lahnthale". In this submission, which was based on a petition handed over by the Member of Parliament Carl Vogt , together with a draft of the statutes of the association for the "establishment of an extensive armed forces federation", the National Assembly adopted the concept of overcoming the "gap between people and army" by merging the two into a "capable people's armed forces" presented. The term "Bundeswehr" for the people's armed forces of the Wehrbund can be found in these statutes . In the "case of need", this should be formed from the vigilante groups of the states obliged to provide assistance. Teichert stated in his report that the committee does not approve of this concept, however, because in order to avoid abuse of power, the armed power must always be under the control of the statutory government and the individual states according to the draft of a German military constitution , which the committee recommends to the National Assembly as appropriate had, it was provided that the organization of the vigilante groups should be left to the legislation of the individual states, especially since the individual states could better decide on their own regulation. The National Assembly then decided to move on to the agenda, considering that this question should be part of national legislation. Teichert also took part in the discussion on the question of the death penalty .

In 1849 Teichert returned to the Prussian military service. Johann Jacoby succeeded him in the National Assembly on May 24, 1849 . Teichert was promoted to lieutenant colonel and received a post in the Prussian War Ministry .
