Life

Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich Culemann was the son of Friedrich Wilhelm Culemann (* around 1710 in Minden ; † March 4, 1760, deviating May 5, 1760), Finance Councilor in the General-Ober-Finanz-War- und Domainen -directory and his wife Henriette Wilhelmine , born from Bachmann from Kleve .

His uncle was the Minden regional president Rudolph Culemann (1705–1771).

Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich Culemann attended grammar school in Berlin and studied law at the University of Halle from May 8, 1776 to autumn 1778, and attended lectures by Daniel Nettelbladt , Johann Christian Woltaer and Ernst Christian Westphal .

On October 23, 1778, his mother wrote to Grand Chancellor Karl Abraham von Zedlitz and brought up personal circumstances in which she insisted that her son from his first marriage should be employed as a trainee lawyer at the Supreme Court. On October 25, 1778, Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich Culemann submitted his own request, referring to a testimony from the tribunal councilor Johann Koenen (1727-1805), who was related to him and who examined him after his return from Halle. On March 17, 1779, he passed the first examination before the examination committee and was hired as a trainee lawyer with a rescript of March 21, 1779, but gave up this career shortly afterwards and became a judicial officer in the Ragnit district based in Tilsit. On July 4, 1787 he became district judicial officer in the East Prussian Lyck and from May 1789 he was the successor to Wilhelm Ludwig Bauer (1753-1812) in Angerburg .

On June 9, 1790, he asked for admission to the major exam because he wanted to leave his previous career and become a member of a state college. He successfully passed the Rigorosum on January 7, 1791 and was transferred with a rescript of January 17, 1791 as assessor cum voto (with vote) to the government in Königsberg , but had to remain in Angerburg until the handover of his official duties. On March 31, 1792 he was promoted to court judge in Insterburg . His appointment to the government council in Königsberg took place on April 21, 1793, so he moved on for Heinrich XLIV. Reuss zu Köstritz (1756-1833) in the college, who had been transferred to South Prussia . At the end of 1806 he was transferred to the Königsberg Higher Regional Court and in 1809 as a district judicial councilor to Prussian Eylau . From there he was further transferred to Bunzlau as judicial director in 1810, where he also became mayor in 1813.

When he died he had meanwhile become a higher regional judge and director of the regional and municipal court in Bunzlau.
