from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Leopold Hubert Heinrich Boese (born April 3, 1800 in Arnsberg , † February 14, 1853 in Meschede ) was a German politician and district administrator in the Meschede district .

Life

His father was the civil servant Johann Anton Boese, most recently in the rank of government councilor. The mother was Theodora Franziska (née Amecke, widowed Droege).

He attended the Laurentianum grammar school in Arnsberg and studied philosophy, law and camera studies in Bonn for two semesters . Above all, however, he devoted himself to construction and, in particular, to road construction. In Bonn he was a co-founder of the Corps Guestphalia Bonn. As early as 1819 he passed the field measurement exam. From 1820 he studied at the royal building academy in Berlin . In 1823 he became royal building manager in the government in Arnsberg . In 1828 he changed to the service of the districts of Brilon and Meschede in the same position . In the same year he was also appointed master road builder for the Meschede district. The new rectory in Eversberg was built according to his design in 1831 . When in 1833 the Crown Prince and later King Friedrich Wilhelm IV was traveling incognito in the Sauerland, he was accompanied by Boese. He also hosted his birthday party in what was then the highest restaurant in the Sauerland in Küstelberg . From 1835 he was road construction inspector for the Arnsberg, Erwitte , Brilon, Olpe and Siegen districts . In 1836 he became a government and building officer with the government in Arnsberg.

In 1839 he became district administrator of the Meschede district. At that time he acquired the Niederberge estate . Boese has renovated the now dilapidated house and converted the former castle chapel into living space. In 1841 Friedrich Wilhelm IV raised the property to a manor suitable for the Landtag.

Boese also set up the district office in the estate. During his time as district administrator, he promoted agriculture and trade. He was also director of the agricultural and trade association of the Meschede district. The large Ruhrstrasse and other roads were also built. He also campaigned in vain for the railroad to open up the district. Boese often got an idea of ​​the situation in the individual communities. Every year he was on the road for an average of 100 days in the district. During the revolution of 1848 he was forced by the residents of Meschede to move the district office back to Meschede. Because the government made promises to calm the peasant unrest, but failed to keep them, tensions arose with Boese.

Boese was married three times and the marriages had thirteen children. His son H. Boese was Professor of Philosophy and Rector of St. Xavier College in Bombay.
