biography

The son of the doctor and town clerk Joseph Ludwig Dorer began studying law at the Albert Ludwig University in Freiburg im Breisgau , which he had to abandon in 1798 because of the revolutionary upheaval in his homeland. Nothing is known about Dorer's activities during the time of the Helvetic Republic . In 1803 he reappeared as a clerk in Baden. In 1808 he was elected to the Grand Council , his political stance was initially moderately conservative. From 1816 he worked as a district administrator for the Baden district .

Towards the end of the 1820s, Dorer identified more and more with the ideas of liberalism . After a constitutional reform forced by the Freiämtersturm , he was elected to the cantonal government by the Grand Council in 1831. In his new role, he strongly advocated the subordination of the church to the state. In 1834 he was one of the initiators of the conference at which the Baden articles were decided. In 1836 he withdrew from politics.
