family

Mones birth house in the 1960s

Mones grandfather Rudolphus came from the Netherlands , was a citizen and merchant there ( civis et Mercator ) and still called himself "van Moon" or "van Mohnen"; this was later Germanized into Mone. Franz Josef Mone's father was Johann Josef Mohnen (* 1765 in Mingolsheim; † 1840 in Mingolsheim), a merchant and farmer who was the local bailiff of Mingolsheim from 1795 to 1798 and 1806 to 1817 . His mother was Anna Maria Heilig from Mingolsheim (* 1774 in Mingolsheim; † 1835 there).

Life

Franz Josef was born on May 12, 1796 in Mingolsheim as "Monee". From 1814 to 1816 he also wrote himself as "Money", later just "Mone". He was the first of twelve children; six of his siblings died as young children. When Franz Josef was three months old, his mother had to flee with him from Moreau's troops, which invaded Bruhrain and Kraichgau in July 1796.

The gifted boy enjoyed his first lessons from 1806 to 1808 in Kislau at the educational institute of W. Wittmer, which was set up according to Pestalozzi's method. He then attended the Bruchsal grammar school in Wilderichstrasse from 1808 to 1812 . He then went to Rastatt for two years and became a lyceist . From 1814 to 1816 he studied philology and history at Heidelberg University, which was reformed by Baron Sigismund von Reitzenstein . During this time he became a member of the Corps Suevia in Heidelberg . On May 7, 1817 , he completed his habilitation and in 1818 became secretary at the university library, in 1819 extraordinary and in 1822 full professor of history and in 1825 director of the university library. On October 5, 1820, Franz Josef Mone married Sophia Warnkönig in Ubstadt , a daughter of the Bruchsal domain administrator Anton Warnkönig and Anna Maria Bellossa (who was born in Bruchsal). This made Mone the brother-in-law of the lawyer Leopold August Warnkönig . Franz Josef Mone and Sophia Warnkönig had six children:

1. Friedebrand Mone * August 10, 1821 in Heidelberg.

2. Fridelint Mone * October 6, 1822 in Heidelberg.

3. Friedhilde Mone * May 22, 1824 in Heidelberg.

4. Friedrich Mone * September 17, 1825 in Heidelberg.

5. Fridegunt Mone * October 22, 1826 in Heidelberg.

6. Fridegar Mone * April 12, 1829 in Leuven / Belgium; † April 8, 1900 in Karlsruhe

In 1827 he accepted an appointment as professor of statistics and politics at the University of Leuven , but lost his job as a result of the Belgian Revolution in 1830, went to Karlsruhe and was director and editor of the Karlsruher Zeitung from 1830 to 1836. From 1835 he became a secret archivist and director of the Badisches Generallandesarchiv Karlsruhe .

Mones' work and merit was the redesign of the General State Archives (1835 to 1860) from the three divided archives (house archive, state archive and state archive ("state registry")) into a scientific institution. He has also greatly enriched the archive's library with the modest budget of 400 guilders and turned it into a scientific library. In 1840 he was appointed curator of the ancient buildings in Baden and, together with senior building officer Heinrich Hübsch, was commissioned to examine those buildings from a historical and art-historical perspective. The result of this investigation was a report on the architectural monuments in the Grand Duchy of Baden, which Mone submitted on September 14, 1841. His predecessor at the Karlsruhe Archives was Karl Georg Dümge . He also worked with Dümge on study trips for MGH . His successor as director was Karl Roth von Schreckenstein in 1868 . From 1854 to 1872 Joseph Bader was the archivist in Karlsruhe .

Mone played a leading role in founding the “Badische Gesellschaft für Zuckerfabrikation” ( sugar factory in Waghäusel ) in 1836. As its president, he personally signed the first shares.

Franz Josef Mone was considered a kind of universal genius .
