Georg Friedrich Falcke

Georg Friedrich Freiherr von Falcke (born August 7, 1783 in Hanover ; † September 20, 1850 , ibid) was a German lawyer and minister .

Life

Georg Friedrich Falcke was the son of Ernst Friedrich Hector Falcke and Louise Clara Strube.

He studied it in Goettingen to 1804 law and then resigned as auditor in judicial office in Hanover in the practical service. He gained the attention of Ernst Brandes and Rehberg.

During the so-called “ French era ” and after his appointment as court counselor in 1809, the Westphalian interim rule first brought him to the court of Nienburg .

From 1811 he worked as a substitute for the General Procurator at the French Court of Appeal in Hamburg, where his cousin Wilhelm Rumann was also employed. In 1813, at the instigation of the bookseller Friedrich Christoph Perthes , both undertook a dangerous mission from Friedrich Karl von Tettenborn to Hanover.

From November 1813 Falcke worked again in the Hanoverian service.

After the former Braunschweig-Lüneburg (Kurhannover) was elevated to the Kingdom of Hanover , Falcke was commissioned in 1818 to investigate the "discrepancies" that had arisen between the students and citizens of Göttingen.

In 1820, Falcke went to the Central Investigative Commission in Mainz as a Hanoverian delegate , before initially working as a senior appellate councilor in Celle from 1821 . In 1825 he took over the duties of the office director in Stade . In 1828 he was appointed a secret cabinet councilor and served as a lecturer in the Foreign Ministry. He was involved in the creation of the constitution for the Kingdom of Hanover, which came into force in 1833 . As a result, he was raised to the baron status.

After the death of Cabinet Minister Georg von Schele in 1844, Falcke headed the cabinet. In the context of the March Revolution in 1848, however, he was dismissed from office. The popular wit spoke in this context of the past, where the liberal impulses were then followed in the population only with "Schelen" with "eagle eyes".
