Baron Ignatz (Ignatius) Franz Karl Engelbert Maria von Landsberg-Velen and Steinfurt (born February 9, 1830 in Münster , † October 27, 1915 in Drensteinfurt , Westphalia ) from the noble family of the Lords of Landsberg was a Westphalian and Prussian politician.

Life

He was baptized on February 13, 1830 in the church of St. Lamberti in Münster as the son of Engelbert Freiherr von Landsberg-Velen and Steinfurt (1796–1878) and Hermine von Hatzfeld-Trachenberg (1809–1889). His uncle was in 1840 in the Prussian count conditions raised Ignaz Empire Freiherr von Landsberg-Velen and Gemen . He married Bertha von Croy († 1906) in Düsseldorf on April 16, 1863 , the daughter of Alfred von Croÿ (1789–1861) and Eleonore von Salm-Salm (1794–1871).

Landsberg-Velen was a doctor of law and a manor owner . He had studied in Bonn and had become a member of the Corps Borussia there in 1849 . He began his political career in the years from 1857 to 1875 as district administrator of Lüdinghausen , but was dismissed in the Kulturkampf of 1875 and put “at disposal”. It was not until the meeting of the Prussian State Ministry on May 23, 1888 that the decision was made: "Landsberg, who was recalled in 1875, is to become District Administrator of Münster, since he is one of the more moderate members of the center in the Reichstag."

Landsberg-Velen was District Administrator of Münster from 1888 to 1896, and a member of the Economics Council . He was considered to be friendly to the military and the government. From 1899 to 1913 he was chairman of the Westphalia Chamber of Agriculture , from 1887 to 1915 chairman of the Westphalia provincial committee and from 1904 to 1915 chairman of the Westphalia provincial council . In this function, he was also a member and temporarily deputy chairman of the State Economics College, a member of the State Railway Council and District Railway Council of Hanover and a member of the entire Waterways Advisory Council. He was also President of the Westphalian Riding Club from 1878 .

From 1866 until his death in 1915 he took his seat as a hereditary member in the Prussian mansion , in 1908 as its 2nd Vice President. From 1871 to 1890, as a member of the Center Party, he was also a member of the Reichstag as a member of the constituency of Münster District 4 ( Lüdinghausen - Beckum - Warendorf ). He was a senior member of various party bodies. Landsberg was no longer put up as a candidate for the Reichstag in 1890 because he had repeatedly violated parliamentary group discipline. Nevertheless, he ran as a non-official candidate of the center in 1898 in the constituency of Münster 4 again in vain against the official center candidate Heinrich Wattendorf , but he received only 12.4% of the votes. Another attempt to run against the center's official candidate failed again in 1903, Landsberg-Velen only received 44 votes in this Reichstag election.

In 1865 Landsberg-Velen was appointed Chamberlain and in 1904 he was appointed Real Privy Councilor with the address "Excellency". He was also an Honorary Bailly of the Order of Malta .
