Daniel Heinrich Delius
Daniel Heinrich Delius (born February 23, 1773 in Bielefeld , † December 25, 1832 in Cologne ) was the Prussian district president and owner of the monastery of Laach Abbey ( Maria Laach since 1863 ).
Life
Heinrich Delius, the son of the future mayor of Bielefeld , Conrad Wilhelm Delius , first studied law at the University of Halle . In 1792 he became a member of the Corps Guestphalia Halle . From 1793 he was a trainee lawyer at the War and Domain Chamber in Minden in Westphalia . He was finally appointed to the War and Domain Council in June 1800 in recognition of his excellent service. On April 1, 1811, he became Prefect of the Leine Department , a position he held until the collapse of the Kingdom of Westphalia in the autumn of 1813. His official seat was the Michaelishaus in Göttingen. In the course of the dissolution of the Kingdom of Westphalia, he tried to maintain French order. He drew z. B. to restore French order with a troop of veterans to Einbeck, but was driven out by the inhabitants of Einbeck. In Göttingen he had given instructions for the arrest of apostates, with which he turned the people against him. The only way he could escape their access was to escape through the garden door of his official residence.
From 1814 Delius was a secret councilor in Brussels . In January 1816 he was appointed regional president of Trier . On February 24, 1825 Delius was transferred to the new government in Cologne in the same capacity. One of the main reasons for his transfer from Trier to Cologne was that he should take care of the problems of navigation on the Rhine . Energetic and experienced in economic matters, he soon found recognition from Cologne's upper class in business and the church. He dedicated himself to the neglected school system with great success and was an avid supporter of the construction of highways, which he considered to be of great importance for Cologne's trade.
During his tenure in Trier, on January 20, 1820, he auctioned the monastery property of Laach Abbey, which after secularization was initially a French and from 1815 a Prussian state domain . It should be his retirement home; however, he died at the age of 59. The monastery property remained in the possession of his children until 1863.
Daniel Heinrich Delius married Helene Schrader (1781-1852) in 1803, daughter of the commission council Franz Ernst Christian Schrader and cousin of the astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel . The marriage had five children:
- Laura (born November 15, 1804, † December 20, 1804)
- Pauline (born April 27, 1806, † July 5, 1840), married. Westphal
- Ludwig (Louis) (* December 27, 1807, † July 1, 1888), district administrator in Mayen (Eifel) and national-liberal member of parliament 1849–1885 as well as secretary of the 2nd Chamber of the Prussian state parliament
- Eduard (born July 17, 1809, † April 11, 1861), Vice President of the Government in Koblenz, posthumously ennobled in 1863; married Charlotte von Ammon, the sister of Friedrich Ferdinand von Ammon, on October 29, 1836.
- Clara (born March 18, 1811, † March 4, 1879) married Friedrich Ferdinand von Ammon on October 1, 1832 .
After his death, a number of respected citizens of Cologne placed him a worthy tomb, which has been preserved to this day, in the Melaten cemetery in Cologne, which was created by Peter Joseph Imhoff .
