Franz Chassot von Florencourt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Chassot von Florencourt (born July 4, 1803 in Braunschweig , † September 9, 1886 in Paderborn ) was a German writer and journalist.

Life

After visiting the Martino-Katharineum Braunschweig , Florencourt studied law in Marburg and Gießen from 1824, where he joined fraternities interested in politics . He was a member of the 1824 Old Marburger fraternity / community , in 1826 a member of the Corps Vandalia I . and the old fraternity Alemannia Marburg .

Furthermore, he founded the youth union in Braunschweig in 1822, which was later banned . From 1834 onwards he was charged with " demagoguery " and "literary activities" for decades.

With the later canonist Friedrich Bernhard Christian Maassen , he founded the newspaper Norddeutscher Correspondent in 1849 . This newspaper took a decidedly critical stance on the constitution of 1849 and appeared with a black margin at that time. In 1851 he converted (together with Maassen and others) to Catholicism. In Cologne he then published the Political Weekly .

When in 1873 he condemned the Prussian war against Austria (1866) "as a 'sin' against democracy and law", this newspaper note led to various legal proceedings against him. Jobst Paul assesses this case of “ counter discourse ” as an “authentic example” of how the historiography of the regime that emerged in 1871/72 was “enforced in court itself”.

Most recently he wrote together with Karl Vogelsang, whom he had already met at the North German correspondent in Rostock , in the Vaterland , a newspaper in Vienna that had been involved in the social reformation since 1873, where he met again with Maassen, who taught there as a theologian.

He is the author of the first historical account of the fraternity movement.
