from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gustav Wilhelm von Jagow (born September 7, 1813 in the district of Dallmin , Karstädt municipality | † February 1, 1879 in Potsdam ) was a Prussian civil servant and conservative politician. In 1862 he was Minister of the Interior.

Life

Gustav von Jagow was the son of the Prussian major and estate owner Friedrich Wilhelm August von Jagow (1783–1863) and his wife Agnes Luise Ernestine Karoline von der Schulenburg-Heßler (1789–1853).

He studied law in Berlin and Munich . In 1842 he entered the Prussian civil service. Between 1846 and 1861 Jagow was the district administrator of the Kreuznach district .

Jagow was also a member of the Rhenish provincial parliament between 1842 and 1852 . Between 1848 and 1852 he was a member of the second chamber of the Prussian state parliament and between 1855 and 1858 of the Prussian House of Representatives for the Kreuznach constituency. He belonged to the Centrum fraction and the Arnim fraction.

In 1855 he received the Order of the Red Eagle, IV class.

From 1861 he was police chief in Breslau for a short time . He criticized the liberal New Era and was an opponent of the Progressive Party . After the resignation of the liberal cabinet ministers of the new era, Jagow was appointed Prussian interior minister in March 1862, along with other more conservative ministers. In this function he tried on behalf of Wilhelm I to influence the new elections that had become necessary due to the Prussian constitutional conflict in the interests of the government. The Progressive Party, against whom Jagow's instructions were primarily directed, protested resolutely against this electoral influence, which it judged to be inadmissible. This led to the liberal majority in the House of Representatives expressing their suspicion of Jagow. King Wilhelm, however, stuck to his minister.

After Otto von Bismarck was appointed Prime Minister, Jagow resigned in December 1862 because he rejected his unconstitutional government without a budget. Between 1863 and 1879 Jagow served as senior president of the province of Brandenburg and at the same time as district president in Potsdam . He was also commissioner of the provincial state parliament . Jagow was a member of the Reichstag from 1867 until his death . He was a member of the faction of the Conservative Party or the German Conservative Party . In the constituent Reichstag of the North German Confederation, he represented the constituency of Potsdam 7 (City of Potsdam - East Havelland ) in 1867 , otherwise the constituency of Potsdam 1 ( West Prignitz ).

He died unmarried in Potsdam in 1879.
