Life
Johann August Eisenhart was born on November 3, 1826 in Munich as the son of Ignaz Eisenhart (1790–1864) and his wife Elise Weininger (1800–1882). He attended the University of Munich to study law and then moved to the University of Heidelberg . After completing his studies, he worked in the Bavarian judicial service. In early 1870 he became cabinet secretary, for which Johann von Lutz was probably responsible. As Ludwig II's secretary of Bavaria , he was a kind of “link between the king and the outside world”. He did not share the king's opinions and intentions and did not take advantage of his position.
So it never occurred to Eisenhart to implement his own plans. He did not make independent decisions and strengthened the authority of the state internally, while he strengthened the little German war sentiment externally. He showed diligence and efficiency in his tasks. He also tried to hide from the public how the top of the state was supposedly failing and made sure that the affairs of state could continue as normal. However, his health suffered as a result. Ludwig II suspended him in May 1876 from his service.
In Miesbach he married the writer Luise von Kobell , a daughter of the mineralogist Franz von Kobell , in 1857 . The marriage had two children. In 1871 Eisenhart was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Bavarian Crown . With the award the elevation to the personal nobility was connected and he was allowed to be "Ritter von Eisenhart" after the entry in the nobility register . In 1886 he received the commander of this order. On December 21, 1905, von Eisenhart died at the age of 79 in Munich and found his final resting place in the Old South Cemetery .
Eisenhart was, according to Gebhardt, a “dutiful civil servant and sober lawyer” and had a “timid character”.
Eisenhart worked for the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie , for which he wrote 240 articles.
