Hermann Cordua (Member of Parliament)
Hermann Cordua . completely Johann Carl Ernst Hermann Cordua (* May 24, 1813 in Raden, today a district of Lalendorf ; † November 20, 1879 in Rostock ) was a German educator and member of parliament.
Life
Cordua's father was Johann Friedrich Cordua, who acquired the Raden estate near Lalendorf in 1802 . The mother was his second wife Christophora Eleonore Christine geb. Vermehren (1785–1845), a sister of Carl Christian Hermann Vermehren . The merchant and pioneer in California Theodor Cordua was his older half-brother. He was raised by private tutors. From 1831 he studied Protestant theology at the University of Rostock . In the same year he joined the Corps Vandalia Rostock . After his exam he was accepted as a candidate for the ministry, but initially worked as a teacher, as was customary at the time. During the revolution in Mecklenburg (1848) Cordua became active in the reform association in Sülz and one of its spokesmen. In the election to the Mecklenburg Assembly of Representatives on October 3, 1848, he won a mandate in the constituency of Mecklenburg-Schwerin 64: Marlow -Sülz. He joined the parliamentary group on the left and was one of 34 members of the parliamentary group who voted against the negotiated constitution and electoral law because it did not go far enough for them. The collapse of constitutional and democratic aspirations in Mecklenburg and the victory of the reaction after the Freienwalder arbitration award ruined Cordua's prospect of an appointment to a pastor's position or a position as a teacher in the state school service. Cordua stayed as a private teacher in Sülze and ran a boarding house for students. He later lived in Rostock. He was a member of the Association of Friends of Natural History in Mecklenburg . His son of the same name, Hermann Cordua , became a surgeon in Hamburg.
