Georg Friedrich Haese (born January 10, 1763 in Birkholz , Dramburg district , † June 2, 1843 in Stargard ) was a German agricultural policy reformer.

Life

Georg Friedrich Haese was the son of the tenant of Gut Birkholz, Christian Friedrich Haese (1728–1789). The mother died a few years after he was born. Georg Friedrich first attended the village school, but then came to the city school in Dramburg and at the age of 15 became a clerk for a legal advisor.

Haese became Schreiber in Bernsdorf in 1780 and in Elvershagen in 1784 , both in the Regenwalde district . Here he acquired in-depth knowledge of agriculture.

In 1789 Haese married the daughter of the archdeacon Sperling von St. Marien in Stargard.

In 1797 he bought the Ganzkow estate in the Fürstenthum district , took over its management from 1799 and introduced many innovations there, but was unable to keep the estate in the long term.

In 1804 Haese became an honorary member of the Märkische Economic Society in Potsdam. Through the mediation of the Council of State Christian Friedrich Scharnweber , with whom he had become acquainted through Ernst von Bülow-Cummerow , he made the acquaintance of State Chancellor Karl August von Hardenberg , who made him a member of the Immediatökonomiekommission in 1811, the ordinances for the implementation of the new agricultural policy reforms edited. This was followed by his appointments to the government council of the Landesökonomiekollegium for Pomerania and to the high commissioner for the regulation of rural and manorial conditions.

In 1813 Haese's eldest son Georg died as a volunteer hunter in the battle of Lüneburg. Gustav Freytag has included his father's obituary in his “Pictures from the German Past”.

Haese entered into a lively exchange of ideas with Albrecht Daniel Thaer . He fought for the lifting of subservience . As chief commissioner, he was entrusted with the implementation of the separation and held this office until the age of 77.
