Georg Friedrich Wehrs , von Wehrs since 1808 (born December 14, 1753 in Göttingen , † August 19, 1818 in Hanover ) was a German lawyer and author.

Life

Wehrs studied law at the University of Göttingen from 1771 and then settled in Hanover as a lawyer and notary. There he also became the overseer of the Intelligence Comtoir and represented interests as an agent for Bremen and Mecklenburg-Strelitz. From 1788 he referred to himself as "von Wehrs", but was not raised to the imperial nobility until November 25, 1803 in Vienna . For this reason, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz later awarded him the title of Secret Legation Councilor. He published, among other things, in the Hanover magazine , numerous small fonts related to economic issues of the time, including the agricultural sector. From 1805 he was a corresponding member of the Göttingen Society of Sciences. He had been a knight of the Swedish Vasa Order from 1799 and was raised to imperial nobility in 1803. In 1794 he became an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg . Since 1808 he was a foreign member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences .

He is often confused with his brother Johann Thomas Ludwig Wehrs , who was a member of the Göttingen Hainbund . Wehrs was married to Johanne Conrad (1760-1816) and the liberation fighter August von Wehrs emerged from the marriage. Georg Friedrich Wehr's sister Dorothea († June 18, 1808) married the legal scholar Georg August Spangenberg (lawyer) , she also wrote for the Hainbund.
