life and career

After the early death of his father, the family moved to Celle, where Busch attended the reformed humanistic grammar school and later the Ilfeld convent school , where he also graduated from high school. Busch then studied law in Göttingen from 1827 to 1831 , where he became a member of the Corps Lunaburgia in 1828 . After passing his exams, he entered the Hanoverian civil service as a trainee lawyer at the Burgvogtei in Celle. In 1833 he moved to the law firm in Hildesheim and was appointed assessor on April 2, 1836 . On March 17, 1840, Busch was transferred to the Hanover Justice Chancellery and on June 14, 1849 appointed as a “voting member” in the Ministry of the Interior.

On December 31, 1850, he was appointed to the Higher Appeal Court , later the Higher Regional Court, in Celle, and after the Justice Organization Act came into force through the Hanoverian Justice Minister Ludwig Windthorst , which stipulated the separation of the administration of justice from the rest of the administration, he was president of the newly created Higher Court of Goslar . In 1853 Busch made a trip to Russia ( Saint Petersburg and Moscow ). Finally, on November 21, 1853 , King Georg V. Busch appointed Windhorst's successor to be Minister of Justice in the Lüttken cabinet . Busch's ministerial activities ended with the resignation of the Lütcken cabinet. He was dismissed as a Privy Councilor on July 29, 1855 and appointed President of the High Court in Celle. As early as January 1, 1854, Georg V. Busch had awarded the Commander's Cross, Class II, of the Guelph Order in recognition of his services (previously the Class IV on January 1, 1853 and the Knight's Cross on March 27, 1853 ). In recognition of his work as a minister, Busch was appointed an extraordinary member of the State Council, a body that advised the sovereign on special occasions. On May 27, 1866, Busch was awarded the Commander's Cross 1st Class of the Ernst August Order and the Commander's Cross 1st Class of the Guelph Order.

When Prussian troops occupied the Kingdom of Hanover in the course of the German War in 1866 and Hanover was annexed by Prussia, Busch received the request from the Prussian Ministry of Justice on May 23, 1867 to apply for his retirement. After a brief refusal and a transfer to the insignificant higher court in Osnabrück , Busch gave in and retired on August 19, 1867. Busch died on March 10, 1890 in Celle of complications from diabetes . He was buried in the Catholic cemetery in Celle.

family

Ferdinand Arnold von dem Busch was a direct descendant of Cornelius von dem Busch and was a member of the von dem Busch family . His father Johann Arnold von dem Busch (1782–1833) was in the service of the Hildesheim diocese . For reasons that have not been clarified, he does not use the title of nobility. He was married to Julie-Adolphine Menshausen.

In 1850 Ferdinand Arnold Busch married Charlotte Freiin von Küster, the daughter of the German ambassador at the Russian court of the Tsar Carl Ludwig Freiherr von Küster (1784–1861), and the marriage had six children. The eldest son Georg (born on February 13, 1855) was King Georg V's godfather. His son Carl (1860–1924) was police chief in Braunschweig until 1918 .

Busch endeavored - probably mainly to facilitate the military career for two of his sons - for permission to officially use the old nobility titles in their names again. After this was initially rejected by the Prussian authorities, the title was confirmed on June 11, 1881 by Wilhelm Duke of Braunschweig with “confirmation of the nobility of Cornelius von dem Busch as ducal colonel and fortress captain”. The nobility was then also recognized by the Royal Saxon Ministry of the Interior. The Prussian nobility recognition as “Von Dem Busch” took place on April 23, 1883 for Ferdinand Arnold and his brother Johann Moritz von dem Busch (1818–1912), the royal Prussian district court president in Lüneburg .
