Administrative career

In the autumn of 1832 Wiegand enrolled at the Philipps University of Marburg for law. He became a member of the Corps Schaumburgia, founded in 1831. He moved to the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg and finished his studies in 1836 with the state examination. In the same year he went to the higher court in Kassel as a court trainee. From 1841 he worked in various administrative functions in the provincial governments in Kassel and Fulda. After the German Revolution of 1848/1849 he was promoted as a staunch liberal to the lecturing councilor in the Hessian Interior Ministry of the March government under Bernhard Eberhard . After the victory of the reaction, he was put on hold in Fulda in 1850 and in 1851. In 1857 he was reactivated and appointed to the management of the Landeskreditkasse. From 1860 to 1867 he was a member of the Hessian electoral commission for trade and commerce . After the electoral state fell to Prussia in 1866 , it was appointed a Prussian Privy Councilor in 1867 - also because of its pro-Prussian attitude. He held a high position in the senior executive committee of the Hesse-Nassau province .

In 1862 he was elected as a liberal member of the Kurhessische Estates assembly , where he was one of the spokesmen for the liberal opposition. He was a member of the Finance Committee and the Economic Committee of Parliament. In the Reichstag election in February 1867 , he was elected to the Reichstag of the North German Confederation for the National Liberal Party .
