from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hartwig Julius Ludwig von Both (born May 18, 1789 on Kalkhorst ; † December 5, 1857 in Dresden ) was a German administrative lawyer and envoy of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg in the Bundestag of the German Confederation .

Life

Hartwig Julius Ludwig von Both came from the Mecklenburg primeval noble family Both and was born as the son of the landowner and court marshal Carl von Both on the family's estate. His training was initially carried out by private tutors. From May 1810 he studied law at the University of Göttingen . In Göttingen he became a member of the Corps Vandalia. After completing his studies, he entered the civil service of the Duchy (from 1815 Grand Duchy) of Oldenburg and in November 1814 was employed as an auditor at the law office and the consistory in Oldenburg . Duke Peter I , who preferred aristocratic officials, promoted Both, although he did well in his various positions. He quickly made a career in government and court service and was promoted to law firm assessor in 1817 and then appointed chamberlain the following year . When Günther von Berg was recalled from his post as envoy of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg to the Federal Assembly of the German Confederation in Frankfurt am Main in June 1821, the Duke appointed the almost 32-year-old Both as his successor in June 1821. Both quickly familiarized themselves with his new area of ​​responsibility in Frankfurt and was awarded the title of Chancellery in 1825 and the title of State Councilor in 1830. Politically, Both turned in the Bundestag against the hegemony of the larger German states and campaigned for the preservation of the sovereignty of the individual states as well as for the preservation of the federal structure of the German Confederation. In political terms, he was extremely conservative , and he firmly rejected the emerging liberal movement and its demands. After the outbreak of the German Revolution of 1848, he had to quickly realize that under the changed political conditions his position in Frankfurt had become untenable. On April 3, 1848, he asked for his release, which the Grand Duke reluctantly approved.

Both were married to Marianne Christine Caroline born in 1822. von Harnier (1804–1864), whose father Heinrich Wilhelm Karl von Harnier (1767–1823) was also the Bundestag envoy of the German Confederation for the Grand Duchy of Hesse .
