Georg Heinrich Deicke

Georg Heinrich Deicke (born April 19, 1765 in Hanover ; † May 28, 1843 there ) was a German businessman and senator .

Life

Georg Heinrich Deicke came from a pastor family, possibly around the deacon of the market church of the same name . He was the uncle and guardian of August Friedrich Pott , who in 1833 dedicated his work Etymological Research in the field of the Indo-European languages ​​to him.

Deicke began an apprenticeship as a businessman in his hometown and continued this from 1790 in a paper shop in Hamburg . In 1796 he returned to Hanover and acquired citizenship there . Equipped in this way, he was able to set up his own wholesaler for paper. Just one year later, Deicke was accepted into the Masonic lodge Zum Schwarzen Bär in 1797 .

During the so-called French era , Deicke was a member of the municipal council from 1810 to 1813 . During the Kingdom of Hanover , he was elected Hanover District Councilor in 1821 and, from 1824, Senator of the city. In 1833 he was also a deputato magistratus ( deputy of the magistrate) of the Hanover school commission , which examined all new teachers and approved them for school service. He was particularly committed to the girls 'school system in Hanover, which is why a bust with his portrait was erected in his honor at the city girls' school in Hanover . He was involved in city politics until his death. In its commitment to the city of Hanover, the entire city senate (including Deike) was sentenced to ten days in prison and a fine in 1841 for insulting the royal cabinet.

Georg Heinrich Deicke is a typical example of a new economic bourgeoisie during the early days of industrialization . His previously unprinted memoirs , which are kept in the Hannover City Archives , are considered "a valuable source " for the history of the City of Hannover during the first half of the 19th century.
