life and career

Hugo Ignaz Keiffenheim was the son of the mayor of Cochem, Joseph Franz Keiffenheim . Initially he trained in administration, followed by a degree in law and administration in Heidelberg . Politically (left-wing liberal) he was also very committed. In March 1848 he sat in the pre-parliament together with the Cochem pharmacist Carl Wilhelm Nettstraeter as a member for the city of Cochem . On March 20, 1848, together with the son of the builder Dalmar and the son of the postman Josef Görres, he founded the Cochemer Schützenverein and took over its management. Hugo Ignaz Keiffenheim had been deputy to MP Karl Boost in the Berlin Prussian National Assembly since his election on November 3, 1848 . On April 3, 1848, the Frankfurt Parliament ended its deliberations and the two Cochem deputies Hugo Ignaz Keiffenheim and Carl Wilhelm Nettstraeter returned to Cochem. Keiffenheim emphasized in his statement of accounts before the citizens about his impressions and statements in Frankfurt that this meeting generally corresponded to the majority of the citizens of Cochem. The pharmacist Nettstraeter submitted a separate report. As a result of an opposing report, a commission from the Koblenz public prosecutor's office in Cochem appeared on June 28 to question Keiffenheim and witnesses about the attempt to overturn the constitution . The incident was later put down.

After August 6, 1848, Keiffenheim submitted proposals for amendments to the municipal code of the Cochem district to the National Assembly in Berlin . At a meeting on February 5, 1849 in Lutzerath for the election of two deputies for the second chamber, he was again the target of evil slander. Keiffenheim left his hometown and joined the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft in Cologne as a calculator assistant, and when it was nationalized in 1879, he switched to the Prussian State Railways . There he was most recently railway secretary and received several honors, for example through his characterization as a royal accountant and holder of the Red Eagle Order 4th class. Hugo Ignaz Keiffenheim was married to Maria Christina Himmen, whom he married on September 15, 1851 in Cochem.
