Friedrich Wilhelm Schubert

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Wilhelm Schubert (born May 20, 1799 in Königsberg i. Pr. , † July 21, 1868 ibid) was a German historian and political scientist.

Life

Friedrich Wilhelm Schubert came from a family of craftsmen and participated as a schoolboy in the Wars of Liberation in 1813/14. He passed his Abitur in 1815 and then studied history at the Albertus University in Königsberg . He completed his habilitation in 1820 and from 1823 taught as associate professor first in Königsberg, then at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin .

He was going. Government councilor and since 1826 full professor for history and political science at the Königsberg University, whose rector he was several times. With Johannes Voigt and Wilhelm Drumann he formed the so-called "triumvirate" at the historical seminar there.

According to the economic historian Hans-Heinrich Bass, Schubert was “one of the far-sighted economists of the 19th century”. In his work Statistical Assessment and Comparison of Some Earlier Conditions with the Present for the Province of Prussia with special consideration of the current state of emergency in this province of 1847, Schubert named several structurally negative factors for the Province of Prussia as the causes of the famines that recurred in the 1840s , among other things the relative de-urbanization, the polarization of the agrarian social conditions, the strong agricultural exports despite inadequate technical progress, a lack of commercial sources of income for the landless as well as an insufficiently developed internal market. With this, Schubert differentiated himself from the thesis that the food crisis of 1847 was primarily due to the poor harvest failure.

In 1848/1849 Schubert was a member of the casino parliamentary group in the Frankfurt National Assembly as a member of the Ortelsburg and Sensburg districts . In 1850 he was a member of the Volkshaus of the Erfurt Union Parliament . From 1849 to 1852 he was a member of the Second Chamber and from 1859 to 1863 in the Prussian House of Representatives . From 1863 he represented the University of Königsberg in the Prussian mansion .

Schubert was married twice; in his second marriage he married a Fräulein von Larisch .
