from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Franz Dietrich Graf von Bremer (born August 10, 1759 in Hanover ; † March 7, 1836 there ) was a German minister of the Kingdom of Hanover .

origin

His parents were the citizen, secret council and minister Benedict von Bremer (* 1717, † 1779) and his wife Caroline Auguste von Haus , a daughter of the British secret council Friedrich Ludwig von Haus auf Eimbeckhausen and Charlotte von Bennigsen .

Career

Around 1879: After the Prussian annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover, the Wunder-Haus heralds the age of bourgeois housing construction also in "Friedrichstrasse": the four and a half-story building already towers above the noble residences of Counts Bernstorff and Bremer, which are still standing on the right. The Palais Bremer will give way to the breakthrough of Ebhardtstraße in 1891 , but the course of the cobblestone street will only be straightened after the Second World War as part of the car-friendly city .

From Easter 1777 he studied law at the University of Göttingen . He then became a public servant in the law firm in Hanover, initially as an auditor . In 1782 he became an extraordinary court and chancellery advisor. From 1786 to 1795 Bremer was an assessor at the Imperial Court of Justice in Wetzlar , only to be appointed court judge in 1796 - again in Hanover - and then in 1797 to district and treasury. He was married to Louise Eleonore von Zwierlein.

At the beginning of the French occupation of "Kur" Hanover in 1803, Bremer became a diplomatic negotiator with the French: On June 3, 1803, his signature under the Sulingen Convention sealed the surrender of the Hanoverian army. Napoleon then refused to ratify the Convention. On July 5, 1803 Hanoverian commander of Wallmoden-Gimborn signed in Artlenburg the broader Convention on the surrender of the Electorate of Hanover and the dissolution of the Hanoverian army .

A few days later, Bremer was appointed by General Édouard Adolphe Mortier as one of five members of the so-called "Executive Commission". After the French withdrew at the end of 1805, he became Minister of State and Cabinet for Foreign Affairs and Finance. After he was released in the course of the second French occupation of Hanover in 1807, he fled to Schwerin together with the Hanover government . Meanwhile the French confiscated all of his goods.

After the defeat of the Napoleonic troops at Waterloo , Bremer was again Foreign and Finance Minister from 1814. For a time he was even Minister of War. After the Congress of Vienna and the elevation of Hanover to a kingdom , Bremer was made an honorary citizen of the city of Hanover in 1817. This also meant the free right to citizens and brewers' guild rights . The constitution of 1819 was essentially a work of Bremer, especially since he was a close confidante of Count Ernst Friedrich Herbert zu Munster , at the time head of the German Chancellery in London. However, Bremer was also a friend of August Wilhelm Rehberg .

In 1823 Bremer was appointed chairman of the ministry. On August 6, 1832, on his 50th anniversary in service, he was raised to the rank of count . He only retired shortly before he was 73 years old as part of the July Revolution .

family

He married Louise von Zwierlein , a daughter of the lawyer and procurator at the Imperial Court of Wetzlar, the baron Christian Jacob von Zwierlein (1737-1793). Their son Carl (born November 3, 1791; † August 19, 1853) was a war councilor and stable master and married Sophie von Staffhorst (born February 10, 1805). Luise Sophie Frederike Eleonore (* August 16, 1797; † March 20, 1819) married Karl Ludwig Friedrich Leutrum von Ertingen (* August 27, 1791; † December 18, 1852). Graf-Bremer-Strasse in Cadenberge is named after Luise's nephew, Count George Bremer .
