Life

From 1843 to 1847 Friedrich von Wintzingerode was the representative of Johann Moritz (Nassau-Siegen) in the first chamber of the estates of the Duchy of Nassau . As envoy , he represented the Duchy of Nassau and the Duchy of Braunschweig at the Bundestag (German Confederation) in Frankfurt am Main . From 1849 to 1851 he was Prime Minister of Nassau . As a rather liberal representative of monarchical conservatism, Wintzingerode came into conflict with Duke Adolph (Luxembourg) , who wanted to take back all democratic achievements of the March Revolution , at the beginning of the reaction era. At the end of 1851, Wintzingerode finally resigned. His successor was the reactionary Prince August Ludwig zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg . Wintzingerode initially remained politically active in Nassau and was, among other things, an elected member of the state estates and Lord Chamberlain of the Duke.
