Fritz Tillisch (born April 15, 1801 in Haderslev ; † February 16, 1889 in Copenhagen , actually Frederik Ferdinand Tillisch or Friedrich Ferdinand Tillisch ) was a Danish lawyer , landlord and minister.
Life
Fritz Tillisch was the son of Colonel Georg Friedrich Tillisch (1760–1845) and Augusta Elisabeth von Stemann (1770–1835). On May 21, 1830 he married Eleonora Dorothea Elisabeth Countess of Schmettau (1802–1874) in the German Friedrichskirche in Copenhagen . Together they had the daughter Vilhelmine Margrethe Ragnhilde Tillisch (1833–?).
After graduating from high school in 1820, he completed his law studies in 1825 as cand. Jur. from. From 1826 to 1830 he was a lawyer at the military court in Rendsburg . From 1830 to 1837 he was bailiff of the Faroe Islands with his seat in Tórshavn . In the Faroe Islands he is still regarded today as a far-sighted bailiff who campaigned for the lifting of the Danish trade monopoly (although initially without success). He had more success in 1832 with his project to found a Faroese savings bank . It still exists today and is the oldest and largest bank in the Faroe Islands ( Eik Bank since 2006 ).
From 1837 to 1843, Tillisch was the bailiff of Ringkøbing and then the bailiff of Aalborg . As a representative for Iceland he took part in the meeting of estates in Roskilde in 1842 .
After the death of his brother Christian Ludvig Tillisch , he became cabinet secretary to King Christian VIII in September 1844 , which was probably the reason why he took a sharper tone in establishing the Danish language in the Duchy of Schleswig . After the armistice of Malmö in the Schleswig-Holstein War , he was a member of the government commission for Schleswig from 1849. After the Peace of Berlin (1850) , Tillisch was largely responsible for the removal of German-speaking officials and lawyers from service in the duchy. This affected a number of notable personalities, such as Theodor Storm . The aim of these “language decrees” was to introduce Danish as a church and school language.
He became Minister of Schleswig on March 5, 1851, and Minister of the Interior in Copenhagen on July 13 of that year . In 1851 he was also made an honorary citizen of the city of Flensburg . For the National Liberals he became a member of the Aalborg Folketing . On January 18, 1852, he was replaced as minister. On April 29, 1854, he surprised his political opponents with a comeback as Minister of the Interior. He was to hold this office until February 1856. Until 1863 he was still a member of the Danish Reichsrat , the then upper house. After the German-Danish War he became Minister of the Interior for the third time on July 11, 1864, until November 6, 1865.
In 1872 the Tillisch family was finally ennobled. Frederik Tillisch held a number of honorary positions and was known as a great theater fanatic. He was honored with the Grand Cross of the Dannebrog Order (1848) and the Elephant Order (1851).
Fritz Tillisch died in the Danish capital Copenhagen and was buried there on Holmens Kirkegård .
