Friedrich Wolfhagen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Friedrich Wolfhagen (* 1777 in Tönning ; † December 17, 1846 in Wandsbek near Hamburg ), was a German lawyer and mayor of Tönning.

Life

Friedrich Wolfhagen came from a family that had lived in Tönning and the area around Eiderstedt for almost 300 years . He studied law from 1794 to 1798 at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel .

Then he passed his legal examination at Gottorf Castle . He married Charlotte Christiane Hansen. The Wolfhagen couple had a total of nine children. The family was Protestant and had their children baptized in St. Laurentius Church . The children were taught by a private tutor because there was no higher school in Tönning at that time. His sons Ernst Friedrich (lawyer in Tönning), Gustav and Carl and the daughters Friederike and Therese are known.

In 1821 he became a lawyer in his hometown and was appointed 'Senator and City Secretary' by the Danish King Christian VIII . In September 1839 he was appointed 'mayor and police master' by royal Danish decree. On July 28, 1840, he received the title 'Königl. Danish Council of Justice

In 1836 he published an essay in Niels Nikolaus Falck's Neues staatsbürgerliches Magazin with special regard to the duchies of Schleswig, Holstein and Lauenburg , which he had printed as a separate font in Friedrichstadt in 1838 . In it he described u. a. the trade boom in Tönning as a result of Napoleon's continental blockade 1806-1809. His daughter Friederike began to make a name for herself as a writer under the name ' Marie Norden ' in 1836 .

In the summer of 1843, the Hamburg writer G. Werner wanted to have a font that was banned in Hamburg printed in Tönning. Friedrich Wolfhagen quickly complied with the Hamburg Senate's request and confiscated the print manuscript. The displeasure about this was so great that Wolfhagen asked for his dismissal from the Danish state services, which the King Friedrich VI. issued on July 28, 1843.

He moved with his wife and daughter Friederike to the village of Wandsbek outside the city gates of Hamburg. Friederike and her mother looked after the sick father until his death on December 17, 1846. The widow and her daughter moved to Dresden.
