resume

The lawyer Klüber was the son of the constitutional law scholar Johann Ludwig Klüber . After studying in Heidelberg, Friedrich Adolf Klüber first worked at the tax department of the provincial administration in Cologne and was a member of the government in Düsseldorf from 1817 to 1824. In October 1824 he was appointed Lord Mayor of Düsseldorf and was the first to hold this office, not only temporarily. Klüber built up the Düsseldorf fire brigade and public street cleaning and reorganized the funeral service. Furthermore, he issued a new market regulation. On October 11, 1825, Friedrich Adolf Klüber asked the district administrator of the Düsseldorf district , Friedrich von Lasberg , for permission to clear out the offices so that old land registers of the city and large quantities of historically interesting documents ended up on the waste paper market. Only a few documents and files from the city of Düsseldorf from before 1800 have been preserved in the archives. In 1828, Klüber resigned from the office of Lord Mayor of Düsseldorf.

Klüber, who was elevated to the rank of Legation and Cabinet Councilor in Baden in 1832, became a secret trainee in 1836 and resigned from Baden's civil service in 1839 with the rank of secret councilor. In the same year Klüber received the Commander's Cross of the Order of the Zähringer Lion . In 1845 he became an extraordinary member of the State Council and from 1845 to 1848/49 was a member of the First Chamber of the Baden Estates Assembly , appointed by the Grand Duke .

In 1849, as Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Grand Ducal House, he became a member of the state government of the Grand Duchy of Baden and headed the Klüber cabinet named after him from June 6, 1849 to October 26, 1850 . He retired in the fall of 1850.

progeny

Friedrich Adolf Klüber had been married to Maria Gertrud Petronella Jacobina Overlack (1803-1830) from Düsseldorf since 1823. From the marriage came the son Robert Ludwig Anton Klüber, who later was an officer in the Prussian service and was raised to the Prussian nobility on August 19, 1874. On March 18, 1875, the Baden nobility was also awarded. In his second marriage, Friedrich Adolf Klüber was connected to Dorothea Heimbertine Hinze (1807-1859) from 1831. From this marriage, the future Prussian major general Friedrich Carl (1833-1908), and the future court marshal in Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, Adolf Johann Philipp (1844-1895) emerged. One of Friedrich Adolf Klüber's grandchildren was the Prussian officer Robert von Klüber .
