Franz Xaver Haegy
Franz Xaver Haegy , French: François Xavier Haegy, (* December 2, 1870 in Hirsingen ; † May 11, 1932 in Colmar ) was a Catholic clergyman, editor and member of the German Reichstag .
Life
Haegy attended the Bischöfliche Gymnasium in Zillisheim from 1884 to 1887 and studied in the seminary in Strasbourg from 1887 to 1892. From 1892 to 1893 he was a student at the theological faculty in Munich and from 1893 to 1896 at the University of Würzburg , where he was one of the founders of the Student association KDSt.V. Gothia was Würzburg and received her doctorate in May 1896. He was also the founder and editor-in-chief of the newspaper Oberelsässische Landeszeitung in Mulhouse . From 1901 he was editor-in-chief of the Alsatian courier in Colmar . Haegy had been a member of the District Assembly for Upper Alsace for the Alsace-Lorraine Center Party since 1906 and a member of the German Reichstag for constituency 6 ( Schlettstadt ) from September 1912 to 1918 . In 1913 he took part in the peace conference of the Interparliamentary Union in Bern and Basel with Eugen Ricklin .
From 1918 Haegy took part in the establishment of the Union populaire républicaine (UPR, German: Alsatian People's Party ) as the successor to the Alsace-Lorraine Center Party . In 1919 he protested against the French policy of assimilation in Alsace and for the preservation of denominational schools. After losing to Joseph Pfleger in the Senate election in 1929 , he said goodbye to politics.
As a tribute to his “anti-French” attitude, the Germans named a street in Colmar after him during the occupation of Alsace, but they evicted his brother as unsafe and confiscated the family home. On June 9, 2017, Hirsingue City Council refused, with 11 to one vote, to designate a street in a new neighborhood called Impasse Abbé Haegy.
