Hermann Schläger

Hermann Schläger (born May 24, 1820 in Lauterberg in the Harz Mountains , † November 29, 1889 in Hanover ) was a German parliamentarian in the Kingdom of Hanover and in the Province of Hanover .

Life

As the son of Franz Georg Ferdinand Schläger , Schläger studied political science and economics at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg after attending the Progymnasium in Hameln , the pedagogy in Ilfeld and the Andreanum in Hildesheim and from November 1842 at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen . During his studies he became a member of the Göttingen Landsmannschaft Visurgia and in 1843 of Frisia . He was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD . After graduating, he traveled extensively. He settled in Hanover, where he acquired civil rights on October 15, 1847 and married the widow of a tobacco manufacturer.

In 1848 he was elected mayor. Like his father, he made a contribution to the development of the girls' school system. In 1848 he started the Morgenzeitung and Vaterlandsblätter , which were included in the newspaper for Northern Germany the following year . 1849–1856 he was a member of the Second Chamber of the Estates Assembly of the Kingdom of Hanover .

After a visit to the Frankfurt Zoo , he suggested the establishment of the Hanover Zoological Garden from 1859 and in a lecture on November 15, 1860 before the Natural History Society of Hanover . He was supported by Georg Egestorff , who himself kept a small bird zoo on the Ihme . Since high costs were calculated for keeping wild animals, a stock corporation was founded in 1863 , to which King George V soon gave some animals, such as two bears, so that they first had to set up a temporary arrangement in the garden of the New House on Emmichpatz. There they were looked after by Johann Georg Heinrich Egestorff (1835–1882). As an art gardener, he himself kept a publicly accessible bird collection. The zoo designed by Wilhelm Lüer was opened on May 4th, 1865 . Schläger became a member and in 1882 chairman of the board of directors. The desired importance as a natural history educational institution soon faded into the background. Egestorff, who had probably hoped for a job at the zoo, opened Germany's first independently operated aquarium in 1867 on Hinüberstrasse in Hanover. It was designed by Wilhelm Lüer in the style of a grotto and existed until 1885.

Schläger was involved in raising the level of the Veterinary School Hanover to a university and in building the School of Applied Arts . In 1864, Schläger was elected an honorary senator. From 1867 to 1888 he was a member of the Prussian House of Representatives for the National Liberals , in which he represented the constituency of Fallingbostel . From 1867 to 1870 he sat in the Reichstag (North German Confederation) . In the Reichstag election in 1881 , he entered the Reichstag (German Empire) . He died at the age of 69 and was buried in the Engesohde city cemetery .
