Life
Anneke was the son of a Prussian chief mining inspector who had moved from the Mark Brandenburg to Dortmund in Westphalia for professional reasons with the emerging Ruhr mining industry . The Annecke family originally comes from the village of Schadeleben in what is now Saxony-Anhalt .
Nothing more is known about Anneke's activities during the revolution of 1848/1849 . After studying mathematics, natural sciences and law at Berlin University , he completed an apprenticeship as a mountain assessor , which took him through many parts of Europe. In 1849, like his brother Fritz, he emigrated to the USA, where he initially worked as a journalist for the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung and later settled in Michigan, where he co-founded the Republican Party and in 1862 became the first Republican Auditor General (for example with the President of an audit office in Germany comparable, but a political election office in the USA). He held this post until 1866 and then settled as a lawyer first in East Saginaw and then from 1874 in Bay City.
Even in 1859 Anneke was in Westphalia by the Prussian authorities warrant along with his brother Carl for desertion sought. The older brother Fritz, commander of the Palatinate People's Armed Forces, was sentenced to death in absentia in Zweibrücken in 1851 for “terrorism” and “endangering internal security” as well as for “treason”.
