Franz Peter Buhl (born September 21, 1809 in Ettlingen , † August 11, 1862 in Coburg ) was a German politician and winemaker in Deidesheim .

Family and winery

Buhl's parents were Franz Anton Christoph Buhl (1779-1844), Mayor of Ettlingen and member of the Baden Chamber of Deputies, and Maria Barbara Jordan (1783-1842), the sister of Andreas Jordan (1775-1848).

Buhl married the daughter of Andreas Jordans, Josephine (1813–1872), in 1836 and settled in Deidesheim that same year.

Through his mother's and his wife's inheritance, Buhl acquired part of the renowned wineries owned by the brothers Peter Heinrich Jordan, who died in 1830, and Andreas Jordan, who died in 1848. In 1849 he founded the FP Buhl winery in Deidesheim. Buhl was a promoter of quality viticulture, among other things, he is credited with introducing split reading buckets, with which the grape harvest could be carried out selectively according to quality criteria.

Buhl had three sons with his wife: Franz Armand (1837–1896), member of the Reichstag and the Chamber of Reichsräte , Eugen (1841–1910), member of the Chamber of Reichsräte and the Chamber of Deputies , and Heinrich (1848–1907) , Professor of Law in Heidelberg.

A grandson of Buhl was Franz Eberhard Buhl (1867-1921), member of the Chamber of Imperial Councils and the Chamber of Deputies.

Political activity

Grave, Deidesheim cemetery

Buhl's winery in Deidesheim played an important role in the pre-march ; like Itzstein's estate in Hallgarten , it served as a meeting place for opposition MPs. Through this, as well as through his father's contacts, he made the acquaintance of leading liberal politicians such as Heinrich von Gagern and Friedrich Daniel Bassermann .

In 1844, Buhl became a member of the Second Chamber of the Baden Estates Assembly for the constituency of Waldshut-Tiengen with the support of Itzstein . In 1847 he was one of the financiers of the Deutsche Zeitung and in the same year, at the invitation of Karl Mathys, took part in the Heppenheim conference .

In 1848 Buhl was a participant in the pre-parliament . In the subsequent election to the Frankfurt National Assembly, Buhl in the constituency of Tiengen was twice defeated by the revolutionary Friedrich Hecker, who was accused of high treason and who was outside the country, and was unable to win a mandate.

After the German Revolution of 1848/1849 , Buhl initially supported Johann Lukas Jäger in publishing the “Pfälzer Zeitung”. However, because Buhl was striving for a small German solution , while Jäger was striving for a large German solution , Buhl rededicated his financial support in favor of the “Palatine Courier”, which appeared from 1859 and represented Buhl's small German line.

By arrangement with his brother-in-law Ludwig Andreas Jordan , Buhl replaced him as a member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Kingdom of Bavaria ; from 1855 to 1861 he had a mandate here. Buhl belonged to a group of liberals around Karl Brater , Josef Völk and Marquard Barth , who campaigned in parliament to revise the federal constitution of the German Confederation with the aim of a strong central power.

Buhl's winery in Deidesheim was once again a meeting place for numerous politicians from many German states at a time when the liberal movement was booming, but Buhl was no longer able to really experience them; he died on August 11, 1862 while passing through in Coburg .
