Friedrich Griebel (lawyer)

Ernst Friedrich Christian Griebel (born June 18, 1812 in Schlichting , † March 1, 1885 in Meldorf ) was a German parish bailiff and magistrate .

Live and act

As a member of the Griebel family, Friedrich Griebel was a son of Leopold Matthias Griebel (born January 23, 1781 in Meldorf; † October 19, 1858 in Warder ) and his wife Catharina Margaretha, née Petersen. The father worked as a pastor in Schlichting, then in Warder. The maternal grandfather named Friedrich August Ludwig Petersen (1755-1824) was a pastor of Sehestedt .

Griebel attended the Eutin School of Academics and studied law at the University of Kiel from the summer semester of 1831 . Obviously he was also interested in literature and could rhyme. In 1832 he published a volume of poetry with ballads and student poetry , the edition of which he later wanted to withdraw. No other literary works are known.

Griebel took part in liberal and patriotic political processes for a long time. In 1832/33 he became the spokesman for the Kiel fraternity . Because of the demagogue persecution in Kiel after the Hambach Festival , in June 1833 he presented the rector of Kiel University with the memorandum “About life and thinking in the fraternity in Kiel”. In September 1833 he drafted a new constitution for the fraternity. In it he wanted to distance the fraternity from the political activities and revolutionary euphoria of the southern German fraternity.

In 1837 Griebel passed the legal examination with the first character. Afterwards he worked as the bailiff's secretary for his uncle in Heide. In 1842 he moved here and worked as an established lawyer . After the start of the Schleswig-Holstein survey , he moved into the constituent state assembly for the 5th Holstein electoral district (Heide) and worked as a secretary in its office. During the war he was neither permanently nor strongly politically active, but rather behaved in a moderately liberal manner. He no longer stood as a candidate in the elections for the first ordinary state assembly.

Since Giebel was only politically involved to a limited extent during the survey, he was able to continue working as a lawyer in Heide at the same time. In 1854 he was appointed bailiff and clerk of the parish of Hemmingstedt , the following year as parish bailiff of the Meldorfer Nordervogtei. After Prussia annexed the duchies and separated the judiciary from the administration, Griebel continued his civil servant career in the judiciary. He worked as a magistrate at the new Meldorf District Court until his retirement in October 1879 . In 1873 he was appointed chief magistrate.

In 1878 Griebel was awarded the Order of the Red Eagle, 4th class.

family

On November 3, 1842, Griebel married Wiebke Margarethe Peters in Tiebensee (born February 14, 1819 in Tiebensee; † December 14, 1893 in Meldorf). Her name, Peter Peters, was a parish and state representative in Tiebensee and married to Cäcilia Elsabea, née Mohr.

The Griebel couple had two sons and four daughters, including:
