Friedrich Soltau , completely Carl Ludwig Friedrich Soltau (born September 1, 1813 in Wismar , † around 1893 in Schwerin ) was a German economist , politician and philologist .

Life

Friedrich Soltau was the son of the typist and mathematician at the large city school Wismar Johann Anton Friedrich Soltau (1787–1847). He attended the Pforta state school from 1829 to 1833 and studied at the universities of Leipzig, Berlin, Heidelberg and, from 1836, Rostock . In 1837 he was one of the founders of the Corps Hanseatia Rostock . He initially worked as an economist on various Mecklenburg estates and from 1845 was a member of the board of the Mecklenburg Railway Company . After the death of his father, he moved to Schwerin in 1847.

On October 20, 1848, Soltau, the chief of the railway bureau, was elected as a member of the constituent Chamber of Deputies of Mecklenburg-Schwerin as a member of the Schwerin constituency ; he became chairman of their economics committee. With the dissolution of the chamber as a result of the Freienwalder arbitration award , his political career came to an end. In 1850 he drafted the statute and the mathematical basis of the Mecklenburg Life Insurance and Savings Bank , of which he was the first general representative after it was founded from 1853 to 1884. In 1884 he retired for health reasons, devoted himself to philological studies and worked for various magazines. From 1868 to 1887 he was a member of the Association for Mecklenburg History and Archeology .

Since 1858 he was married to the violinist and painter Pauline, b. Suhrlandt , daughter of the Schwerin court painter Rudolph Suhrlandt . He took care of the artistic estate of his father-in-law and, in 1880, brokered the purchase of 103 portraits of Suhrlandt by Max Jordan for the Kupferstichkabinett Berlin . However, his efforts to get a biography of Suhrlandt through the Tischbein biographer Carl Schiller were unsuccessful.
