Life

Everhard came from a Cologne mayor family. His father was the imperial postmaster Erhard Anton Hermann Melchior von Groote. After finishing school with Ferdinand Franz Wallraf at the Marzellengymnasium , he studied law and history at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . In 1809 he joined the Niederrheinern . As adjutant to the Prussian Crown Prince , he took part in the Wars of Liberation . At Wilhelm's instigation, Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher commissioned him in Paris in 1815 to track down and restore the art treasures that the French had stolen from the canton of Cologne and the Rhineland . Among them was "The Crucifixion of Peter" by Peter Paul Rubens . His friend and colleague Werner von Haxthausen helped him with this . After his return he was employed as an assessor at the district government in Cologne from 1816 to 1827, but then moved to the administration of the Cologne poor administration, which he chaired from 1831 to 1851 as president. From 1826 to 1851 he was politically active as a member of parliament (in the Prussian provincial assembly of the Rhine Province , in 1843 as deputy marshal of the state assembly, in the provincial assembly and in the Cologne city council). Died at the age of 75, he was buried in the Melaten cemetery (lit. C, between HWG and lit.H) in the grave of his father-in-law Maximilian von Kempis .
