Friedrich Wilhelm von Schorlemer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Wilhelm Werner von Schorlemer zu Herringhausen (born January 26, 1786 in Hildesheim , † January 6, 1849 ) was a Westphalian landowner and a conservative Catholic politician.

family

He came from the Westphalian, Catholic noble family von Schorlemer . The father was Franz Wilhelm Friedrich von Schorlemer (1761-1814). The mother was Casimire (nee Freifrau von Leerodt).

He himself married Josephine (1788–1863) (born von Pelden called von Cloudt) in 1810. The marriage gave birth to a number of children. Among them were Burghard Freiherr von Schorlemer-Alst and Wilhelm von Schorlemer .

Life

In 1808 von Schorlemer became a member of the State Science Society in Leipzig. After the transition of the Duchy of Westphalia to Hessen-Darmstadt, he joined the new grand-ducal-Hessian administration in Arnsberg and was a government assessor in 1809 and a real councilor and court chamber councilor in 1810. Shortly afterwards, he asked to be released from civil service. This was granted to him while maintaining his service character .

Friedrich Wilhelm then lived as a squire. He owned the Herringhausen and Overhagen estates . Like his father, he was a Saxon chamberlain.

During the Wars of Liberation he served as a volunteer with the rank of lieutenant in the 11th Prussian Hussar Regiment . When the Duchy of Westphalia passed from Hesse-Darmstadt to Prussia, he became a Prussian subject in 1816. Not least in the newly acquired Prussian provinces in the west, the constitutional promise of Friedrich Wilhelm III. in 1815 and the occupation patents with the promise of class or provincial constitutions raised expectations. Members of the aristocracy in particular took part in the constitutional discussion in the province of Westphalia. Demands for the design of these representations were derived from the representation of the old state constitution. These were often aimed at restoring the old conditions dominated by the nobility.

One example is from Schorlemer. In 1818/19 he presented his work on the constitution, especially for the rural nobility of the Duchy of Westphalia in print. According to the preface, this was created as early as 1816. He published parts of it in 1817 and 1818 in the magazines Westfälischer Anzeiger and Hermann . He also published anonymous contributions for both sheets. Mayor von den Berken from Altena and Johann Friedrich Joseph Sommer wrote reviews about it. When Schorlemer-Herringhausen submitted his work in print in 1818/19, the constitutional discussion in connection with the growing political repression was nearing its end.

Schorlemer-Herringhausen was elected as a knightly member for the third electoral district in the Westphalian provincial parliament. He was a member of the provincial parliament from 1826 to 1845. In 1847 he was also a member of the United State Parliament . In various respects there were points of contact with the ideas of the Landtag Marshal Freiherr vom Stein . There was an intensive exchange of letters and personal encounters.

In the 1830s he also had correspondence with General Karl von Müffling called Weiss . In 1833 Schorlemer joined the army with a view to supplying grain for a railway from Minden to the Rhine province . When General Schorlemer proposed membership in the Prussian State Council , Ludwig von Vincke vetoed it because he said that the election of “ this choir leader of the ultra-montan and ultra-aristocratic party ” (...) made a “ very bad impression on all well-meaning, make truly devoted residents to the king and his house ”.

Between 1837 and 1840 he published the "Rittergüter der Provinz Westfalen" at Herle in Paderborn. This work was later re-edited by August Kracht.
