Friedrich Oom (born June 6, 1793 in Garz / Rügen ; † November 9, 1849 Barth ) was a German lawyer, mayor and local historian of the city of Barth in Western Pomerania.

life and work

The son of the mayor of Garz auf Rügen was taught by private tutors in his parents' house. From 1810 he studied law as well as history and literature at the University of Greifswald . After passing exams as a notary and lawyer, he was appointed as a learned member of the city council of Barth in 1815, where he worked for a total of 34 years.

In 1835 he was elected mayor of Barth. He took part several times as a member of the municipal parliaments and provincial parliaments of the Province of Pomerania and, in 1847, the United State Parliament of Prussia in Berlin. In 1849 he resigned from his municipal offices and became a single judge for Barth and the surrounding area as royal district court commissioner and member of the royal district court in Stralsund .

In his role as mayor, he turned to the history of the city of Barth, whose archive he evaluated for this purpose. In the first edition of the Baltic Studies he published an essay on the history of the Barther Church. His “Chronik der Stadt Barth” first appeared in extracts in the “Barther Wochenblatt” in the 1840s and was published in 1851 after his death. Other unpublished writings came to the University of Greifswald via the estate of Johann Gottfried Ludwig Kosegarten .
