Life

Map of Barmbek around 1867 from Voigt's writing about the district from 1910.

Friedrich Voigt was the son of the court counselor at the Higher Appeal Court of the Four Free Cities , and later at the Higher Commercial Court of Johann Friedrich Voigt . In order to avoid confusion, he therefore published in part only under Friedrich Voigt.

Friedrich Voigt studied law in Bonn from 1853, where he initially became Renonce des Corps Hansea . He then moved to the University of Göttingen in the winter semester of 1853/54 , where he became a member of the Corps Hannovera in 1854 . After graduating as Dr. jur. In 1856 he became an actuary assistant at the city's commercial court in his home town of Hamburg. He later switched to the administration and on November 20, 1861 became the first official of the Landherrschaft der Marshland , established in 1830 , which was responsible for the management of the land area of ​​the Marshlands . Friedrich Voigt later became a councilor for the rulers of Hamburg.

Voigt's importance for Hamburg lies in his voluntary work for Hamburg and numerous Hamburg associations. He was widowed very early because his wife died in childbed. In addition to his job, this enabled him to commit to an extraordinary level of volunteering. He not only worked for many years as archivist and head of the Association for Hamburg History , but also published numerous articles on the history of Hamburg and on regional history in northern Germany, not least in the journal of the Association for Hamburg History .

In 1859, along with Heinrich Föhring, he was one of the founding boards of the still existing AC, the Academic Club of Hamburg , as one of the oldest local associations of Kösener Corps students in Germany. From its founding in 1859 until his death in 1920, he was a member of the board of this club as secretary (called "dominus tertius") without interruption. His Göttingen Corps Hannovera awarded him honorary membership on September 5, 1908 because of his services.
