Hans Carl Peter Manecke (born July 8, 1798 in Schwerin ; † February 18, 1871 there ) was a German landowner and member of parliament.

Life

Hans Carl Peter Manecke was a son of the Government Secretary Peter Manecke and his wife Catharina Dorothea, geb. to Nedden.

He first acquired the Neuhof ( Bobitz ) estate near Grevesmühlen . At the end of December 1836 he bought the Vogelsang estate (municipality of Lalendorf ) from the Privy Council President (Prime Minister) Leopold von Plessen . As the owner of a manor, Manecke was eligible for the state parliament and first visited the state parliament in 1834 or 1835. In Vogelsang he had a neo-Gothic mansion built in the romantic Tudor style in a newly created English landscape park by 1840 .

Within the knighthood, Manecke belonged to the opposition of the bourgeois landowners, who from 1838 long fought for equal rights with the noble members of the knighthood who were privileged in the estate government. From March 28 to April 4, 1843 there were unsuccessful negotiations between von Bassewitz on Schimm, von Bernstorff on Wedendorf, von Lowtzow on Klaber, Jasper von Oertzen on Leppin on the one hand and Schlettwein on Bandesltorf, Dencker on Knegendorf, Manecke on Vogelsang and Stever on Wustrow, on the other hand. In November 1843, after pressure from the Grand Duke, the native and welcomed nobility renounced their sole eligibility for the Select Committee .

In the spring of the revolutionary year of 1848 Manecke was one of the representatives of Mecklenburg in the Frankfurt pre-parliament , which was supposed to prepare the election of the Frankfurt National Assembly. To this end it worked closely with the Bundestag of the German Confederation . The assembly met from March 31 to April 3, 1848 in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt . Already before that, on March 16, 1848, he was one of the representatives of the knighthood who petitioned the state assembly to hold an extraordinary session. When the Strelitz district administrator Wilhelm von Oertzen invited the Mecklenburg knighthood to a meeting on April 14, 1848 in Güstrow, Manecke was one of 145 (of 280) knights who were willing to sacrifice their special political rights in order to promote the welfare of the fatherland .

After the adoption of the constitution, he wrote a declaration for the constitutionally minded members of the knighthood, with which they recognized this as a legally established constitution. However, this declaration and the constitution itself soon became obsolete due to the Freienwalder arbitration award , which declared the constitution null and void. Since then, Manecke made it a matter of concern to visit the diets of the restored knightly and landscape areas in order to work here for the return of Mecklenburg to the ranks of the constitutional states. He reported repeatedly with applications, but also with publications to speak and denounced the grievances of the Mecklenburg estate constitution. For several years in a row, he submitted unsuccessful applications for Mecklenburg to join the German Customs Union .

In August 1863 he took part in the German Congress of Representatives , which met in Frankfurt parallel to the Frankfurt Princes' Day . These three hundred members of state parliaments did not consider the reform act to be extensive enough and committed themselves to the Frankfurt constitution of 1849.

Manecke was a member of the grand ducal debt repayment commission and conductor of the patrimonial court association in the Güstrow district .

In 1856 Vogelsang was sold to the bailiff August Ludwig Carl Rudloff (* 1795) on Frauenmark. For this he acquired Duggenkoppel ( Kröpelin ) in 1862 .

When he died in 1871, the Illustrirte Zeitung in Leipzig described him as the well-known free-thinking member of the Mecklenburg knighthood .

From 1858 until his death he was a member of the Association for Mecklenburg History and Archeology .
