Life

Joannes "Jan" Josephus Ignatius Harte married a daughter of the wealthy margarine manufacturer Anton Jurgens and, through the influence of his father-in-law, became a member of the Second Chamber of the States General (Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal) for the first time on May 1, 1884 and represented it with a short interruption until on August 1, 1901, the constituency of Grave . After he belonged to the conservative wing at the beginning of his parliamentary membership, he later joined the progressive social groups around the priest Herman Schaepman . On December 28, 1894, he changed his name to Joannes "Jan" Josephus Ignatius Harte van Tecklenburg after approval by a royal decision (Koninklijk Besluit) .
