Life

Oertel was born as the 7th child of the pastor Ernst Christian Oertel. He spent his youth in Neustadt in Saxony . After attending elementary school and taking private lessons, at the age of 14 he was admitted to the Obertertia of the Fürstenschule St. Afra in Meißen , which he attended from 1870 to 1873. He then attended grammar school in Bautzen and began studying classical philology (classical art history) at the University of Leipzig . He worked as an assistant at the Antikenmuseum der Universität Leipzig under Johannes Overbeck . In the 7th semester he received his doctorate ( doctoral thesis : Contributions to the older history of statuary genre painting among the Hellenes ) and passed his state examination in the 8th semester. After a short teaching activity in Kötzschenbroda and military service in Bautzen, he was a senior teacher at the secondary school (later Petri School) in Leipzig from 1880 to 1894 .

In 1881 he married Clementine Jäckel, pastor's daughter from Gaussig near Bautzen, and had two children, son Georg Oertel and daughter Anne Marie Oertel. The family and later Oertel spent their summer holidays alone in Hintergersdorf , the health resort of Hartha and Spechtshausen, where Oertel died on a walk in 1916. His tomb with a portrait bust is in the cemetery in Fördergersdorf and originally carried the slogan: We want to think of you, thank you, until we follow you home.

Act

After almost 15 years of teaching, Oertel was appointed editor-in-chief of the Deutsche Tageszeitung zu Steglitz in 1894 . Before that, he worked for the Leipziger Zeitung and the conservative newspaper Vaterland . As leader of the efforts of the Bund der Landwirte (BdL) he moved in from 1898 to 1903 as a member of the constituency of Saxony 9 ( Freiberg ) and from 1912 to 1916 as a member of the constituency of Breslau 4 ( Namslau - Brieg bei Breslau ) for the German Conservative Party (DKP) the German Reichstag and participated in the plenary and in commissions of the Reichstag. He belonged to the circle of politicians around Reich Chancellor Prince Bernhard von Bülow , Kuno Graf von Westarp , Gustav Roesicke and Oswin Schmidt .
