Weinhagen speaks to the citizens of Hildesheim (1848)

In the Hanoverian constitutional conflict and in the revolution of 1848/1849 he became the spokesman for the liberals in Hildesheim who coveted civil liberties such as jury courts , freedom of the press and freedom of expression in the Kingdom of Hanover . In 1849 Weinhagen was a member of the State Assembly of the Kingdom of Hanover . He was severely prosecuted by the authorities of the Kingdom of Hanover, including criminal law, and was also imprisoned for a tax offense. For political reasons he refused to pay stamp duty . Several prison terms for insult followed during the restoration period. In 1867 he emigrated to London as the later Forty-Eighter , where he died in 1877.

In 1979 the city of Hildesheim established the Friedrich Weinhagen Foundation as a collective foundation under civil law as a legal successor to a foundation established by the Weinhagen family in 1920 , into which 21 no longer viable old foundations were transferred to his and his family's memory . Since then, this foundation has significantly promoted cultural life in the city.
