François Joseph Rudler

François Joseph Rudler (German Franz Joseph Rudler ) (born September 9, 1757 in Guebwiller , † November 13, 1837 in Strasbourg ) was a French judge and high administrative officer during the so-called French era .

After studying law in Strasbourg , in 1793, after a brief activity as a lawyer and notary, he pursued an administrative career . In the autumn of 1796 he became government commissioner for the Armée du Rhin and the Armée de Mayence . After the occupation of the left bank of the Rhine , on November 4, 1797, he was appointed government commissioner of the directorate for the conquered countries between the Rhine, Meuse and Moselle. Rudler worked as such until February 21, 1799 mainly in Bonn , Mainz (French Mayence) and Trier (French Trèves). During this time he divided the conquered areas into departments and set up a completely new administration. On January 11, 1798, he moved from Bonn to Mainz and moved into the Stadioner Hof . Rudler was previously a judge at the Court of Cassation in Paris. Its division into four departments lasted until the end of the French era and partly beyond.

On May 1, 1798, Rudler introduced a new civil status register . The aim of this register was to raise the civil status above the church registrations that were valid until then. Births, marriages and deaths were now recorded in the Cisrhenan Republic according to the law of September 20, 1792. At the same time he introduced 27 laws and regulations related to this register. There were also regulations on divorce and on children who were born outside of marital relationships. Rudler determined that the municipal officials should collect the old church records within eight days. In 1803 the new civil status law was incorporated into the Civil Code . On April 11, 1798 he issued an ordinance according to which the parishes could elect their own minister of culture instead of the pastor. On July 19, 1798, he announced a fundamental change in the previous world as a catalog of virtues in order to implement the cult of the decade in the départements.

Under Napoleon he was first prefect of the Finistère department from January 1801 and of the Charente department from March 1805 . He was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1804 . In 1809 he was given the title of Baron d'Empire and a year later he went into provisional retirement and withdrew to the Strasbourg area. In 1830 he stepped onto the political stage at the National Assembly as a deputy of the Bas-Rhin department and died on November 13, 1837.
