from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Florus Conrad Auffarth (born January 6, 1815 in Schwarzenfels , † July 23, 1877 in Podgaj , Mogilno district ) was a Prussian administrative officer.

Life

childhood and education

As the son of the Schmalkalden police commissioner Georg Friedrich Auffarth and Barbara Elisabeth Auffarth, b. Euler was born Florus Auffarth in Schwarzenfels in the south of Hesse, in the Schlüchtern district. His other school positions are not known. He completed his visit to the University of Marburg on September 7, 1836 with the political science examination. He then began his professional activity in the Hessian state service as an intern, first from September 26, 1837 at the Melsungen district office and then from August 1, 1839 at the Wolfhagen district office . At the age of 25, his training was completed in 1840 when he was employed as district secretary in Hofgeismar , which he was appointed to on July 1, 1840. His permanent appointment was on April 22, 1841.

Career as an administrative officer

Florus Auffarth stayed in northern Hesse for four and a half years before he was transferred to Hanau as district secretary on October 16, 1845 . Further posts were: January 18, 1849 second administrative officer in Fritzlar and on January 24, 1851 first administrative officer in Kassel and member of the National Debt Commission. After the large number of administrative tasks, which were steadily increasing in hierarchy, Auffarth was transferred to the administration of the District Office in Hofgeismar on September 4, 1851 , from where he moved to Hersfeld in the same position on February 10, 1853 . The annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia in 1866 initially did not result in any changes for the respective officials. On March 10, 1868, Auffarth received his patent as a Prussian district administrator in Hersfeld, and on March 22, he was finally appointed as such. But the much larger Prussia also had a disproportionately higher number of district administrator positions to be filled. After his wife died in 1873 Hersfeld, Auffarth was first provisionally June 7, 1876 as a district administrator to Grevenbroich in the Rhine province added. His final appointment followed on July 6, 1876. He was the first Protestant to hold this office. But Auffarth gave up his official business on March 28, 1877. Transferred to the Schroda District Office in the Prussian province of Posen , he died less than four months later in the neighboring Mogilno district. He was buried in Bad Hersfeld.

MP

In 1868 he was elected to the municipal council of Kassel with 106 of 223 votes out of 813 eligible voters for the constituency of the city of Hersfeld . He was a member of the municipal parliament until 1871.

family

Florus Auffarth belonged to the Evangelical Reformed Church. In 1838 he married Philippine Margaretha Christine Hermine Schröder (born on January 6, 1820 in Hersfeld; died on July 28, 1877 there), a daughter of the tobacco manufacturer George Heinrich Schröder and Anna Catharina Schröder, née Cowarz .
