Franz Wilhelm Miquel
Franz Wilhelm Miquel (born August 23, 1818 in Neuenhaus ; † October 2, 1855 there ) was a German high school teacher , editor and writer .
Life
Franz Wilhelm was born as the son of the doctor Anton Miquel in Neuenhaus in the county of Bentheim , where he also spent his youth and school days. His brothers were the botanist Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel and the later Prussian finance minister Johannes von Miquel . He passed his school leaving examination in 1837 at the Georgianum Gymnasium (Lingen) . From 1837 to 1841 he studied in Göttingen , especially with Johann Friedrich Herbart . In 1841 he became a high school teacher in Aurich as a collaborator for modern languages, geography and history, mainly in the lower classes.
Miquel took an active part in the revolution of 1848/1849 and published. He was elected MP in April 1848 and was the vocal opponent of the conservative spokesman, Cirk Heinrich Stürenburg , until the intrigues of his opponents were finally successful and he was transferred to Ilfeld in the Harz Mountains in October 1848 . He did not stay there long, however, but returned to Aurich at the end of 1848 as editor of the Ostfriesische Zeitung. After the suppression of the revolution, he moved back to Neuenhaus, where, presumably supported by his family, he continued to work as a writer until his untimely death, as he was forbidden to teach at high school.
