Hermann von der Hude (born May 8, 1811 in Lübeck ; † November 12, 1858 ibid) was a German lawyer, diplomat, Hanseatic envoy to the Bundestag and senator of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

Life

origin

Hermann came from the original Bremen noble family von der Hude , which spread early to Holstein , Lauenburg , Mecklenburg and the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

He was the son of Bernhard Heinrichs , chief pastor of St. Marien (born June 8, 1765 in Lübeck; † December 26, 1828 there), and his wife Margarethe Henriette, née Heyn (1776–1819). His older brother Heinrich later became the syndic of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck .

career

When his mother died Hude was only seven and when he on the Katharineum the Prima visited his father died. His older brother, at that time procurator at the upper court of appeal of the four free cities and the Lower Court , took him until Easter 1830 graduated from the school and the study of the theology of Jena , went to his house.

There, however, Hude recognized early on that his inclination was more towards law , and turned to studying it. During his studies he became a member of the Germania Jena fraternity in 1830 and was a co-founder of the old Heidelberg fraternity in Franconia in 1831 . As a member of the fraternity he took part in the Hambach Festival . He reported this to his friend, Maximilian Heinrich Rüder , in Eutin . Because of his membership in the fraternity, against which repression by the governments in those years went, he was persecuted and received almost three years detention in Eisenach . That is why he was only able to settle down as a lawyer in his hometown in 1837 after passing his exams .

In 1842, Hude was appointed to take the minutes of the constitutional commission appointed by the Lübeck citizenship. Here he proved himself to the extent that two years later the citizens voted him a member of the joint constitutional commission. He should play a major role in the creation of the Lübeck constitution.

As a member and later chairman of the committee for the establishment of the Lübeck-Büchener railway connection, he worked tirelessly and thus contributed his part to the realization of this important enterprise for Lübeck.

After Hude was elected procurator at the Lower Court in 1847, he was appointed to the Senate in March 1848. He was the last member ( councilor ) of this body unilaterally elected by the Senate before the constitution came into force . Shortly after joining the council, he was seconded to the Bundestag in Frankfurt am Main as a representative of the free cities . He attended the sessions of the Bundestag until its dissolution in July 1848.

From now on, Hude devoted his work in the Senate exclusively to internal administration. He did not limit himself to maintaining what was inherited and taking care of the day-to-day business, but developed the institutions entrusted to his management in a comprehensive manner. This was particularly true of his activity as the president of the poor institution and the fire department .

But his work came to an abrupt end. Hude only recovered temporarily from the consequences of a stroke that struck him in May 1858 during a session of the citizenship . At the beginning of November he fell ill again and passed away on November 12th.

family

Hermann von der Hude was married to the eldest daughter of the merchant and Prussian consul Eduard Gottlieb Kulenkamp . The marriage had many children.
