Franz Eberhard Buhl

Franz Eberhard von Buhl (born June 5, 1867 in Deidesheim ; † June 29, 1921 there ) was a German entrepreneur and politician. He was a member of the Chamber of Deputies and the Chamber of Imperial Councils of the Crown of Bavaria , as well as co-founder of the German Fatherland Party (DVLP). In Deidesheim he managed the Reichsrat von Buhl winery .

family

Buhl was the son of Reichstag member Franz Armand Buhl (1837-1896) and his wife Julie Schellhorn-Wallbillich (1847-1901), the sister of Reichstag member Wilhelm Schellhorn-Wallbillich (1848-1909). He was married to Frida Russell (1876–1952), a daughter of the banker Emil Russell (1835–1907).

Buhl's marriage remained childless and Buhl had no heirs. He wanted to bequeath all of his possessions to his friend from the Chamber of Imperial Councilors , Georg Enoch Freiherr von und zu Guttenberg (1893–1940), so that they "would live on safely and in accordance with tradition". Shortly before his death, he asked Enoch von und zu Guttenberg to let him adopt him, which he did. Buhl was also the godfather of his son Philipp Franz (1920–1943). After Enoch von und zu Guttenberg and his first-born son Philipp Franz fell in World War II in 1940 and 1943 , respectively, Buhl's widow Frida Enoch's second-born son, Karl Theodor Freiherr von und zu Guttenberg (1921–1972), adopted the will of her deceased husband to meet.

After Buhl's death, his widow Frida, who then married the politician Carl Anton Piper (1874–1938), took over the management of his winery. After her death in 1952, the estate was finally bequeathed to Karl Theodor Freiherr von und zu Guttenberg , who was later elected as a member of the German Bundestag . His grandson Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg (* 1971) also made a political career and was at times Minister of Defense.

Life

In 1907, after the death of his paternal uncle, Heinrich Buhl inherited his shares in the Buhlschen winery, took over his entire property in 1909 after the death of his maternal uncle, Wilhelm Schellhorn-Wallbillich , and in 1910 after the death of his paternal uncle, Eugen Buhl , too its share in the winery. He was responsible for the sole management of the estate, which at that time was one of the largest privately owned wineries in Germany; it comprised about 306 acres of vineyards (approx. 1/4 ha each). There were also a number of houses and around 550 acres of gardens, fields and meadows.

Buhl has held numerous leadership positions in national and international Weinfach- and agricultural associations: he was president of the wine building committee of the Bavarian Chamber of Agriculture, Committee member of the German Agricultural Society (DLG), a member of the German Agricultural Council and as well as the Commission international permanent de viticulture in Paris. In addition, Buhl helped found the Palatinate Winegrowing Association and the Palatinate Commission to combat vine pests. The merger of the German wine-growing regions into a large wine-growing association was mainly due to him. From 1905 to 1913 he was president of the German Viticulture Association and from 1913 to 1920 the first president of the successor organization Deutscher Weinbauverband, later its honorary president. In France he had large-scale attempts to refine grapevines in the interests of German viticulture.

Buhl was a member of the supervisory board or board of directors of various companies: Amperwerke Elektrizitäts AG, worsted spinning mill in Kaiserslautern , Süddeutsche Diskonto-Gesellschaft Mannheim, Portland-Zementwerke Heidelberg-Mannheim , Pfälzische Hypothekenbank Ludwigshafen and Discontogesellschaft Berlin.

His hometown Deidesheim, in whose city council Buhl was represented, Buhl donated twelve elaborately carved chairs and three tables in the Renaissance style from the estate of his uncle Eugen Buhl for the council chamber of the historic town hall , to which twelve smaller chairs were later added.

Buhl was a member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Bavarian State Parliament for the constituency of Frankenthal from 1907 to 1911 and was appointed a member of the Chamber of Imperial Councils on February 24, 1911 , which is why he had to resign from the Chamber of Deputies; his successor was Hans Kopp . When he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies, Buhl ran for the Liberals, but his political views later developed further to the right. The question of war objectives played an important role in the German Reich since the beginning of World War I ; a memorandum of a thousand "German intellectuals", which was devoted to the question of the war objective, was also signed by Buhl. In 1917, Buhl co-founded the right-wing German Fatherland Party (DVLP) and in the same year became first chairman of the Bavarian State Association of the German Fatherland Party.

Buhl died of a heart attack on June 29, 1921 in Deidesheim.
