Friedrich Behre (politician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Behre (born November 21, 1819 in Seelze , † July 21, 1888 in Hanover ) was a German local politician , mayor , headmaster and bank manager .

Life

Friedrich Behre was born in Seelze at the beginning of the Kingdom of Hanover as the son of a teacher. After graduating from school and studying at a teachers ' college for three years , Behre founded a private girls' school in the then royal seat of Hanover in 1843 , which he then ran until 1860.

Meanwhile, Behre appeared as a speaker in several popular assemblies during the revolution from 1848 to 1849 . As a member of the democratically oriented Hanoverian People's Association , Behre was also in close contact with Rudolf Benfey and Adolf Mensching , with whom he personally campaigned for the interests of the Hanover Workers' Association .

The workers 'association in Hanover, which emerged from the book printer reading association on April 1, 1848, is considered to be the nucleus of the Hanoverian workers' movement . In addition, Behre was involved as editor and co-editor of the magazine Die Volksschule , which appeared in Hanover from 1848 to 1855 with the subtitle monthly for elementary schools, especially for the Kingdom of Hanover .

Also in 1855, Behre was first elected to the Citizens Committee (BVK), to which he belonged until 1887 - the year before his death. During this time he held the office of secretary from December 1864 to June 1865 , and then until the end of 1867 the office of deputy spokesman .

In the meantime, Friedrich Behre had founded the advance association bank, more precisely the oldest private credit institute in Hanover, founded on March 1, 1860 as an advance payment association of 218 members, later the Hannoversche Volksbank . Instead of the girls' school that he had previously founded, Behre headed the bank founded as an association from 1860 and until his death as director.

Meanwhile, Friedrich Behre worked together with Hermann Schläger as a member of the German National Association led by Rudolf von Bennigsen . After the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia in 1866, Behre then joined the German-Hanoverian Party (DHP) in protest , in which he quickly played a leading role - especially in the city of Hanover. Similar to the lawyer Friedrich Fischer or the Reichstag deputy Ehrenreich Eichholz now also acted in the Behre welfisch dominated opposition movement against Prussia.

On October 12, 1867, Friedrich Behre was elected spokesman by the welfen-friendly majority of the Hanoverian Citizens' Board, thereby exercising the function of chairman of the BVK; an office that he held until 1886. During this period - from 1870 to 1885, Ludwig Brüel was initially his vice-spokesman, later his successor - Behre was involved in numerous BVK commissions, including the finance and school commission, the poor council, for the Heilig-Geist-Spital or, for example, in the Administration of the municipal waterworks .
