Ferdinand Neigebaur

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Daniel Ferdinand Neigebaur (born June 24, 1783 in Dittmannsdorf , † March 22, 1866 in Breslau ) was a German writer and lawyer. Numerous books come from him, especially on regional studies, travelogues and current topics.

In some cases he published anonymously, especially polemical and political writings, and under pseudonyms (including Carl Follenberg, Johann D. Mannsdorf, Daniel, Daniel Dittmann).

Life

Neigebaur was the son of pastor Johann Daniel Neugebauer , attended grammar school in Schweidnitz and studied theology and then law at the University of Königsberg . He then began his legal career (in the Prussian civil service from 1807), became a trainee lawyer in Schweidnitz in 1810 and an assessor in Marienwerder in 1812 .

In 1813 he joined the Lützow Freikorps as an officer in the Wars of Liberation against Napoleon and became a prisoner of war, which he spent in the Limousin . There he devoted himself to learning French, obtained the Baccalaureat exam in Limoges and gathered information for his book on the province, published in 1817. After his memories of his imprisonment, published in 1816, he tried to organize a mass outbreak and only narrowly escaped court martial. In 1814 he published a memorandum on the repatriation of German prisoners of war from France and got a job in the Prussian service in the Generalgouvernement in Aachen and then as sub-prefect of Neufchâteau .

After Napoleon's defeat, he became prefect in the Prussian part of Luxembourg in 1815 and held various positions as judge in the Rhine provinces that were now part of Prussia (Higher Regional Court in Kleve 1816, Hamm 1820, Münster 1822). In Münster he belonged to the literary circle of Bernhardine von Wintgen , to which Annette von Droste-Hülshoff also belonged. He published papers on the statistics of the new provinces and the judicial reform in the Rhine provinces. In 1823 he was promoted to Dr. jur. PhD.

From 1826 he was back in Breslau. In 1832 he became district court director in Fraustadt and the secret judicial council, in 1835 director of the Criminal Senate in Bromberg and he was commissioner of the commission for the regulation of the border between Poland and Prussia. In 1842 he actually wanted to retire, but was then again unpaid Consul General of Prussia in the Danube principalities in Jassy for two and a half years . He was also very active as a writer until his death and spent the last twenty years of his life mainly traveling.

Among other things, he was active as a journalist for the new Italian republic, wrote many travel books and satires on Prussian junkers, especially Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau and his memoirs (views from a gentleman's perspective, memoirs of a deceased, Tuttolasso's walks), as well as writings critical of the church.

In 1850 he became a member of the Leopoldina . He was a member of many scientific societies (in Rome, Copenhagen, Westphalia, Transylvania, Sicily, Athens, Erfurt, Koenigsberg, etc.) and received the Prussian Order of the Red Eagle 4th class and the Russian Order of St. Stanislaus in 1835 .
