origin

Hermann (von) Buchka was the youngest son of Pastor Gottlieb Buchka (1788–1863) and his wife Luise, née Hansen (1797–1876). Of his two brothers, Carl (1816–1854) was mayor of Lübz and Heinrich (1818–1885) was a farmer. His sister Luise (1820–1907) married Lieutenant Karl Ferdinand Moritz von Fuchs (1820–1846).

Live and act

His higher education began at the grammar school in Friedland, then he moved to the grammar school at the Gray Monastery in Berlin, where he passed the Abitur in 1837. In the same year he began studying law in Göttingen, Berlin and Heidelberg. In 1841 he received his doctorate in Heidelberg with the revised price publication The immemorial possession of common German civil law . He then worked for a few months as an official auditor at the City Court of Güstrow before taking his auditor examination in Rostock in April 1842. He then worked as an official auditor without voting rights at Toitenwinkel .

In February 1843 Buchka passed the judge's examination. In the same year he completed his habilitation with the font De pignore nominis at the law faculty of the University of Rostock . He then worked there for four years as a private lecturer . Beginning in the winter semester of 1843/44, he held lectures on the “Common German Civil Procedure”. However, they were not well attended. When Buchka applied for the chair for Roman and civil law at the University of Rostock in 1851, this was one of the reasons why he was rejected. Sometimes his lectures had only four listeners, his lecture lacked the "stimulating freshness", so the reasoning of the law faculty.

In 1847 Buchka passed the judicial council exam and was advisor to the Mecklenburg-Strelitz law office and consistorial advisor to the consistory in Neustrelitz . He held these offices until 1852, with an interruption in 1848/1849, during which he temporarily took over a seat with a vote in the government college of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, which he gave up after a year at his own request.

In 1852 Buchka began to work as an unskilled worker with a decisive voice at the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg Higher Appeal Court in Rostock. The following year he was appointed appellate judge there. He held this office until 1866. Together with the lawyer Johann Friedrich Budde (1815-1894) he published from 1855 a multi-volume work on decisions of the Higher Appeal Court.

On January 2, 1866, Buchka was appointed State Councilor by Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II and took over the management of the Mecklenburg-Schwerin Ministry of Justice with the assigned departments for spiritual, educational and medical matters. He thus succeeded Wilhelm von Schröter . During Buchka's tenure, among other things, the new imperial laws were introduced in Mecklenburg and the court organization in Mecklenburg-Schwerin was restructured. The Grand Duke Buchka received several awards for his services. Among other things, in 1880 he lent him the fallen knightly fiefdom Wietow near Wismar . It was converted into an allodial shortly afterwards and sold by Buchka in June 1896.

After Henning von Bassewitz's death , Buchka took over provisionally the office of President of the State Ministry of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and of the Board of the Ministries for Foreign Affairs and Affairs of the Grand Ducal House from December 1885 to June 1886.

For his 25th anniversary as State Councilor and Minister he was on January 2, 1891 by Grand Duke Friedrich Franz III. in the hereditary nobility raised . On March 31, 1893, he retired at his own request for health reasons. He spent the last years of his life in Schwerin and died shortly before his 75th birthday of hardening of the arteries .

Hermann von Buchka had been married to Elisabeth (1829–1884), daughter of the officer and landowner Karl Heinrich von Stein, since 1848. The marriage had ten children. Three of the sons studied law in Rostock. One of them was the judge and member of the Reichstag, Gerhard von Buchka . Another son was the Kaiserliche Real Geheime Oberregierungsrat and lecturing council in the Reich Treasury Karl von Buchka (1856-1917).

The estate of the Buchka family, which includes personal documents, letters and references from Hermann von Buchka, is in the archive of the University of Rostock. It was handed over to the university in 2005 by Hans-Joachim von Buchka , then Chancellor of the Bergische Universität in Wuppertal and great-great-grandson of Hermann von Buchka.
