Heinrich von Achenbach

Heinrich Karl Julius Achenbach , von Achenbach since 1888 , (born November 23, 1829 in Saarbrücken , Rhine Province ; † July 9, 1899 in Potsdam , Province of Brandenburg ) was a German mining lawyer and Prussian politician.

Life

The Achenbach family came from the Siegerland . Achenbach's grandfather Heinrich led the delegation, which in 1815 achieved that the Siegerland was added to Prussia. His father temporarily took over the supervision of the miners' coffers in Saarbrücken, where Heinrich Achenbach was born. The family moved back to Siegen shortly afterwards, where Heinrich and his older brother Adolf Achenbach (later mining captain in Clausthal ) grew up.

In the revolutionary year of 1848 , Heinrich Achenbach, who was first at the school, appeared as a speaker at a political rally in Soest. He then studied law in Berlin and Bonn . He was a member of the Corps Guestphalia Berlin (1849) and Rhenania Bonn (1850). In 1854 he received his doctorate and became legal advisor at the Bonn Mining Authority. The habilitation followed in 1859 ; In 1860 von Achenbach became an associate professor at the University of Bonn .

Together with Hermann Brassert , Achenbach founded the magazine for mining law in 1860 , which became the leading specialist journal in the German-speaking area and was also internationally recognized.

In 1866 Achenbach became a secret mountain ridge and was appointed lecturer in the Prussian Ministry of Commerce. In the same year his son Adolf von Achenbach was born. Achenbach was a co-founder of the Free Conservative Party in 1867 and a member of the Siegen constituency in the Prussian House of Representatives , to which he belonged until 1898.

With membership in the Prussian House of Representatives and the position as a lecturer in the Ministry of Commerce and from 1870 in the Reich Chancellery (Achenbach organized the expansion of voluntary nursing care during the war in 1871 ), he switched to politics and to Berlin, where he initially became Undersecretary in the Prussian in 1872 Ministry of Culture was. His active participation in the Kulturkampf legislation had no influence on his long-term friendships with August Reichensperger and the Limburg Bishop Klein .

On May 13, 1873, Achenbach was appointed Prussian Minister for Trade, Industry and Public Works (from April 1878 without the Ministry of Public Works ), where Achenbach's services include a new regulation of the patent system, fundamental measures of social legislation and an expansion of the German railways . Bismarck dropped him when Achenbach could not implement the plans to nationalize the railways, which his successor Albert von Maybach then carried out. After resigning in 1878, he was appointed Upper President of West Prussia , and of Brandenburg the following year . The ennoblement took place on May 5, 1888.

In 1874 Achenbach was  elected a member of the Reichstag for the constituency of the administrative district of Arnsberg 1 (Wittgenstein - Siegen - Biedenkopf) . He did not join a parliamentary group in the Reichstag, but sat in on the parliamentary group of the German Reich Party . He was only a member of the Reichstag for a very short time, as his mandate in the Reichstag expired in September 1874 when he was appointed Federal Councilor. In 1882 he was entrusted with introducing the future Emperor Prince Friedrich Wilhelm into civil administration.

He published numerous articles on the history of the city of Siegen and the history of the Siegerland: his doctoral thesis in 1854 compared, for example, the Siegen and Soest city laws. In 1887 he became an honorary citizen of the city of Siegen .
