Justus Wilhelm Eduard von Schaper (born October 30, 1792 in Braunschweig , † February 23, 1868 in Potsdam ) was a high-ranking Prussian civil servant ( President of the Rhine Province , the Province of Westphalia and Postmaster General ).
Origin and family
He was the son of the royal Prussian secret chief finance, war and domain councilor Christoph Schaper (1747–1799), who was raised to the hereditary Prussian nobility on July 10, 1789 in Berlin , and Margarethe Barbara Justine Widmann (around 1756– 1826). He himself married Auguste Weichbrodt in Merseburg in 1827 (born January 9, 1807 in Danzig ; † December 13, 1871 in Düsseldorf ), who came from a family of merchants from Merseburg. The couple had eleven children, eight of whom reached adulthood.
Live and act
After graduating from school, Schaper studied law in Göttingen and entered the civil service of the Kingdom of Westphalia (prefecture of the Saale department in Halberstadt ) in 1812 . In 1813 he switched to the Prussian civil service and worked for the civil government between the Elbe and Weser, based in Halle an der Saale . During the Wars of Liberation , von Schaper was an officer in the 2nd Elbe Landwehr Infantry Regiment and, from the summer of 1816, was an adjutant and accounting officer in the Magdeburg Grenadier Landwehr Battalion. Subsequently, from 1817 he was employed again in the civil service. Initially still in the form of an informative employment with the government in Magdeburg , after a successful examination in 1818 he was appointed government assessor with the government of Merseburg . From 1819 he was a councilor. In 1827 he was appointed a councilor at the Chamber of Accounts in Merseburg . From 1834 he was chief accountant and department head. In 1839 he was appointed president of the government in Trier . In 1842 he became President of the Rhine Province and from 1845 President of the Province of Westphalia. From 1846 von Schaper was postmaster general and thus head of the Prussian postal system. In 1849 the post was put up for disposition due to organizational changes in the postal system. In 1852 he was finally dismissed from the civil service with an exceptional pension that was increased to 3750 Reichstalers annually.
