Friedrich David Groneweg

Friedrich David Groneweg (born July 5, 1805 in Gütersloh, † March 20, 1886 in Gütersloh ) was a Westphalian politician , lawyer and notary as well as a member of the liberal Progress Party . His parents were the doctor of medicine, Rudolph Wilhelm Groneweg, and Sophie Louise Weber, daughter of Senator David Weber, who married in Bielefeld-Neustadt in 1801.

Friedrich David Groneweg, who practiced the profession of lawyer in Gütersloh and Rheda from 1831 to 1848 , is one of the leading representatives of the Rhedaer Kreis (or Holter Kreis), along with Otto Lüning , which was concerned with the abolition of social grievances during the pre-March period tried.

Despite its liberal stance, Groneweg was elected Gütersloh City Councilor in 1842. Groneweg supported the revolution of 1848 and resisted the dissolution of the Prussian National Assembly , which led to his arrest on December 27, 1848. While he was still in prison in Münster , Groneweg was elected to the second chamber of the Prussian state parliament on February 5, 1848.

After he was acquitted of high treason in 1850 , he emigrated with his family to the United States . However, Groneweg returned to Germany as early as 1855, initially living in Münster until 1865, then in Osnabrück until 1876 and again in Gütersloh for the last ten years of his life.
