from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gustav Susemihl (born January 9, 1797 in Vienna , † September 28, 1862 in Davenport , Iowa) was a German fraternity, administrative lawyer in the Danish service and Forty-Eighter .

Life

Gustav Susemihl came from a Mecklenburg pastor family and was a son of the Lutheran superintendent of Vienna, Johann Joachim Susemihl (1756–1797), who died in the year of his birth . Joachim Bernhard Susemihl was his older brother. He attended the Katharineum in Lübeck until Easter 1816 and studied law at the Universities of Halle and from May 1817 Jena .

In Halle he joined the Teutonia Halle Landsmannschaft; in Jena he became a member of the original fraternity . In October 1817 he was a participant in the Wartburg Festival .

In the summer semester of 1818 he enrolled at the University of Kiel and completed his studies there. He entered the service of the Danish government of the duchies. In 1843 he became second councilor in the royal government of the Duchy of Lauenburg in Ratzeburg. In the Treaty of Malmö (1848) he was confirmed as a member of the Lauenburg government and in 1851 was appointed First Councilor. Apparently, however, the question of the internal constitution of the Duchy of Lauenburg led to a rift with the Danish government and in 1852 to his dismissal.

At the age of 59, Susemihl emigrated to the USA in 1856 with his son Ludwig (1840–1927) and daughter Marie (1838–), where his son Gustav (us) (1836–?) Lived. On May 21, 1856 he arrived in New York City on the Elbe from Hamburg . He found a new home in Davenport, Iowa . His son Gustavus briefly became the foster father of Big Nose Kate .
