family

Friedrich Theodor Langen was born as the son of the landowner Ignaz Hermann Langen and Petronella. Knyn was born on October 13, 1800 in Brussels. His mother married the grand ducal Hessian high school board director Wilhelm Friedrich Hesse († 1841). On September 1, 1828, he married Maria Franziska Adelheid Belluc in Mainz, the daughter of Johann Belluc, a nephew of the French prefect in Mainz Jeanbon von St. André and sole heiress St. Andrés. His brother-in-law and also a cousin of his mother's second husband was MP Andreas (von) Hesse .

Life

Langen began his law studies at the University of Giessen , where he became a member of the General Burschenschaft Germania in 1819 , and moved to the University of Bonn in 1820 , where he founded the Corps Rhenania Bonn on May 15, 1820 with six other fellow students (including the MP Dr . Theodor Friedrich Knyn ). From 1821 to 1822 he studied at the University of Göttingen and joined the Corps Hannovera . As a senior at Hannovera, he signed the Göttingen SC Comment of January 20, 1822 for them.

He received his doctorate as Dr. iur. and settled in Mainz in 1826 as a lawyer . In 1834 he gave up his lawyer in order to "be independent" after re-entering the state parliament. From 1834 to 1858 he managed the Windhäuser Hof estate in nearby Elsheim, which his wife had acquired . In 1858 he sold the farm and moved to Wiesbaden. From 1847 he was secretary and from 1849 to 1861 he succeeded Heinrich von Gagern as president of the Rhenish Hessian Agricultural Association.

As a politician, Friedrich Theodor Langen was a member of the Liberal Party from 1832 to 1836 and from 1847 to 1849 of the 2nd Chamber of the Estates of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, i.e. the Landtag of the Grand Duchy of Hesse , and was its Vice President in 1834. He was elected for the constituency Rheinhessen 2 / Ober-Ingelheim-Gau-Algesheim . In 1848 he was a participant in the Heidelberg assembly and the pre-parliament in Frankfurt a. M, which served to prepare the Frankfurt National Assembly. He also represented the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the Committee of the Seventeen , a committee set up on March 10, 1848 by the Bundestag of the German Confederation , which was supposed to draft a constitution after the outbreak of the March Revolution in the states of the German Confederation. In 1848 and 1849, however, he was defeated in the election to the Frankfurt National Assembly in two constituencies to more radical candidates.

After the failure of the Frankfurt National Assembly, he was elected to the state house of the Erfurt Union Parliament in 1850 by the 1st Chamber of the Hessian Landtag on the proposal of the Grand Ducal Government for the Grand Duchy of Hesse , an assembly of parliamentarians who reached a constitution for a Little German Empire under Prussian leadership wanted to.
