from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Franz Moritz Kirbach (born April 18, 1825 in Leisnig ; died January 31, 1905 in Plauen ) was a German revolutionary from 1848/49, lawyer and notary , member of the Second Chamber of the Saxon State Parliament . He wrote under the pseudonym Franz Mauritius .

Life

Franz Moritz Kirbach attended the four-class elementary school in Pegau . On the basis of a scholarship, he was able to attend the Thomasschule in Leipzig from 1839 to 1844 and take his Abitur. From 1844 to March 1848 studied law at the Leipzig University . He took part in the German Revolution of 1848/1849 . In Leipzig he joined Robert Blum as a student . On November 8, 1848, he gave a commemorative address to Blum in the Johanniskirche in Chemnitz . He was one of the conveners of rallies of the Central Committee of the German Fatherland Associations of Saxony . He was involved in the riots in May 1849 and was therefore sentenced to death on February 19, 1852. In 1850 his fellow student Julius Hermann Weigel tried to free him from prison. The attempt failed. In 1851 he was imprisoned at the Königstein Fortress . He sent a petition for clemency to King Friedrich August II and, after the sentence was converted into a life sentence, spent it in the Waldheim penitentiary . August Röckel and August Bebel report on the inhumane prison conditions to which he was exposed . Heinrich Brockhaus helped the prisoner find a source of income by publishing two books and three translations by Kirbach. After a total of 10 years in prison, he was released on June 25, 1859. In 1860, the Leipzig Bar Association ultimately denied him admission to the second legal exam for political reasons. It was not until 1862 that he was allowed to take the bar exam. In the same year he became secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Plauen. He held this paid office until 1896. At the end of 1864 he was approved as a notary. Kirbach was a witness in the so-called Leipzig high treason trial in 1872. There he declared: “I only know Mr. Bebel by reputation and have no political connection to him, and am not a member of a political association. In the spring of 1870 I attended both popular assemblies in which Mr. Bebel spoke (...) I don't remember anything criminal, and I would certainly remember that. "From 1871 to 1899 he was - with short interruptions - Plauen city councilor and 1874 / 75 honorary council member. From 1873 to 1891 he was a member of the Plauen - Pausa - Mühltroff constituency in the Second Chamber of the Saxon State Parliament, most of them as a member of the National Liberal Party .
