Heinrich Huebbe
Heinrich Hübbe (born September 23, 1803 in Hamburg ; † June 1, 1871 there ) was a German hydraulic engineer and Hamburg and Prussian construction officer .
Life
Hübbe was a student and, since 1837, the successor to Reinhard Woltman, director of hydraulic engineering . Hamburg owes the first major expansions and improvements to its port to him , the plans to rebuild the city , which was devastated by fire in 1842, and their implementation, as well as the organization and uplift of its hydraulic engineering .
After 1848, out of his politically very conservative attitude, Hübbe committed himself to preventing a reform of the previous Hamburg constitution . When in Hamburg in 1851 an agreement was reached on a draft for a new, more democratic constitution, which the city government bodies also met with goodwill, he made efforts both at the Frankfurt Bundestag and - through his acquaintance with Ludwig von Gerlach - at the Prussian one Government to intervene in the city in favor of the constitutional status quo . Hubbe was then reprimanded by the Hamburg Senate.
From 1857 his office was temporarily carried out by Johannes Dalmann . In 1864 he entered the Prussian civil service, where he was primarily concerned with improving the Baltic Sea ports and regulating the Elbe river . He provided numerous physical, meteorological and technical observations, some in tabular form, some in graphic form.
Heinrich died in Hamburg in 1871. At the Ohlsdorf Althamburg Memorial Cemetery there is an honorary collective grave for Hübbe together with his successor in the office of Johannes Dalmann.
