Friedrich Pogge

Christian Johann Friedrich Pogge , with the addition of the ownership name also Pogge-Zierstorf (* May 12, 1791 in Roggow , † October 13, 1843 in Zierstorf ) was a German farmer from the Mecklenburg family Pogge and agricultural reformer.

Life

Friedrich Pogge was born in 1791 in Roggow near Güstrow as the eldest son of the farmer and agrarian reformer Carl Pogge and the older brother of the farmer and member of the Frankfurt National Assembly Johann Pogge .

He received his education from Pastor Piper in Rheinshagen near Güstrow and then went on to do an agricultural apprenticeship with his father in Roggow. 1806 saw Pogge in Roggow with the French occupation. 1810-1811 he studied in Rostock with Lorenz Karsten and on his agricultural experimental farm in Neuenwerder and then made his first practical experience on his father's estate in Roggow. In 1814 Pogge went on study trips to Holland and England. After his return he leased Domgut Dehmen near Güstrow in 1816 and established a breeding of merino sheep and thoroughbred horses there.

Friedrich Pogge quickly acquired the reputation of an outstanding propagandist for English horse breeding in Mecklenburg, something that Gottlieb von Biel had encouraged him to do . In 1822 he attended the first horse race in Doberan, where he won the Alexandrine race on what is now the Baltic Sea Racecourse in 1829 with his horse Robinson . From 1820 he also worked as director of the Neubrandenburg fire and hail insurance company. In 1831 he bought the manor Zierstorf with Bartelshagen and thus became a member of the General Mecklenburg State Parliament [according to other information: from 1836/1838].

Pogge developed into one of the major reformers of Mecklenburg agriculture. In 1841/42 he organized the first farmers' meeting in Teterow and Güstrow and in 1843 the annual meeting of farmers and foresters. As his father's successor, he became a member of the board of directors and a leading representative of the Mecklenburg Patriotic Association . He was a neighbor and friend of Johann Heinrich von Thünen and is considered to be the founder of regular meetings for the training of rural farmers.

From 1838 he distinguished himself as an advocate of civic endeavors in the old Mecklenburg state parliament and as a leader in the struggle for equality between noble and bourgeois landowners. Pogge pursued a liberal policy, especially in the Mecklenburg constitutional struggles and is considered the founder of the animal shows, especially in Güstrow.

Friedrich Pogge lived in Dehmen from 1816 and in Zierstorf from 1831. He was married twice and had 10 children, of whom Georg Pogge was particularly well known as a horse breeder and Paul Pogge (1838–1884) as a lawyer, farmer and Africa explorer. Friedrich Pogge died in 1843 of the consequences of an untreated broken rib.
