Heinrich Immanuel Klüpfel

Heinrich Immanuel Klüpfel (born July 15, 1758 in Stuttgart ; † December 31, 1823 there ) was a German legal scholar and politician .

Life

Klüpfel was the son of a Stuttgart city ​​clerk . He attended the Stuttgart high school illustrious and then went to study law at the University of Tübingen in 1777 . In 1779 he moved to the University of Göttingen , where he is said to have been an avid student of the legal scholar Johann Stephan Pütter .

Klüpfel did not want to follow the usual practice of buying offices under Duke Karl Eugen von Württemberg and was therefore initially unable to enter the civil service. He therefore established himself as a lawyer . He was appointed city ​​consultant in 1787 and elected mayor of the city of Stuttgart in 1796, after he had already built up some trust in the population . As such, he was also elected as the city's representative at the state representation and in 1797 as a member of the landscape committee. He was one of the opponents of Duke Friedrich II of Württemberg in the fight against his interference with the constitution. Klüpfel became the leader of the estates opposition. From 1815 to 1817 he was a member of the Württemberg state estates for Stuttgart .

After King Wilhelm von Württemberg came to power , he carried out a judicial reform and founded the Stuttgart Upper Tribunal as the highest regional court for the Kingdom of Württemberg . At this Klüpfel was in 1817 one of the first lawyers appointed and Obertribunalrat appointed. He is said to have fulfilled this office with great zeal. He died in office.

Trivia

The poet Ludwig Uhland dedicated a stanza to the opposition leader Klüpfel in a celebratory poem on October 18, 1815:

The man who, born from our city,
always faithfully thought of its welfare, to
whom we are closely attached,
who guards our dearest ;
Who endured unshaken
in the storm of the terrible time,
and who also now
dedicates his life with mighty might to the new work.
