Franz Makowiczka

Franz Makowiczka (born May 7, 1811 in Hagensdorf , Bohemia , † January 22, 1890 in Erlangen ) was a German economist and politician.

Life

Makowiczka studied philosophy and law in Prague between 1829 and 1835 . He also received his doctorate there as a Dr. jur. Between 1842 and 1845 he was an adjunct of the juridical-political studies in Prague. Between 1846 and 1849 he was a professor in Cracow . From 1849 until the ban in 1850, Makowiczka was the editor of the “Deutsche Zeitung aus Böhmen”. Then he was a lecturer or private lecturer for statistics and an employee of the legal and political encyclopedia in Prague. Afterwards he was full professor for political science in Erlangen from 1852 to 1890. The title is misleading because it taught political economy in particular, which was, however, still integrated into the legal and political science area. He worked for Bluntschli's German State Dictionary . He was also the author of various legal and economic writings.

politics

Politically, Makowiczka was a member of the Association of Germans from Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia from April 1848 to maintain their nationality. He was elected a member of the Frankfurt National Assembly for the Saaz district in Bohemia. He belonged to the Württemberger Hof and later to the Central March Association . Makowiczka was a member of the Economic Committee, the Committee for the Assessment and Reporting of the Austro-Slavic Question and the Committee for Assessment and Reporting on the submission of the Reich Ministry on the Austrian relationship to the formation of a federal state of the German states. Between April 26, 1849 and May 30, 1849 he was Secretary of the National Assembly.

In the 1860s, together with other Erlangen professors, he advocated the realization of German unity. He was one of the leading liberals in Erlangen. Between 1869 and 1873 he was a member of the Bavarian State Parliament . Because of his criticism of the resolutions of the First Vatican Council , he converted from Catholicism to the Old Catholic Church .

In 1877 he was made an honorary citizen of Erlangen.
