Studies and fraternity members
Johann Georg Martin Reinhardt was born as the son of the white tanner and farmer Johann Jacob Reinhardt and his wife Margareta née Hild. He attended grammar school in Weilburg until 1812 and then worked as a clerk in Kirberg and Limburg. From 1818 to 1822 he studied law in Giessen and completed his studies with a doctorate in law. jur. from.
During his studies he joined the Christian-German fraternity / Ehrenspiegelburschenschaft Gießen in 1818, the Gießen General Burschenschaft Germania in 1819 and the Old Göttingen Burschenschaft in 1820 . Membership in the fraternity alone was enough to arouse the authorities' suspicion in the years following the Karlovy Vary resolutions . In 1819 Johann Georg Martin Reinhardt was interrogated but not prosecuted. In 1820 he was again targeted by the Mainz Central Investigation Commission when Reinhardt exchanged letters with Pagenstechers after the arrest of Alexander Pagenstecher , a suspect in the murder of Karl Ludwig Sand . In 1822 Reinhardt reappeared in the interrogation records of his brother-in-law Carl Seebold as a possible democrat.
On February 27, 1824, Johann Georg Martin Reinhardt married Therese Maria Franziska Seebold (1798–1869) in Homburg, the daughter of the Nassau court chamber councilor Lothar Seebold in Kirberg.
In 1824 a network of liberal students was investigated which, after two Nassauers belonged: Johann Georg Martin Reinhardt and Richard Hildebrand . Hildebrand, was sentenced to 19 years in prison for “participating in a secret revolutionary alliance” and for publishing several democratic writings.
A conviction of Johann Georg Martin Reinhardt (who had not played a leading role in this federation) failed because Reinhardt had left Nassau and was now living “abroad” in the Landgraviate of Hesse-Homburg . There he was employed, as evidenced by the reply from the Usingen bailiff Emminghaus dated July 12, 1824 to the Mainz Central Investigation Commission “as police commissioner and advocate” and also married to the daughter of the court chamber councilor Carl Seebold.
District Administrator
As a representative of liberal ideas, Johann Georg Martin Reinhardt no longer emerged. On the contrary, he is described as a strict civil servant who is loyal to the Landgrave House. Obviously he had the confidence of Landgrave Ludwig , who appointed him as the successor to the government councilor Friedrich Wernigk, first as a judicial officer in 1830 and as a senior bailiff in the Meisenheim district. The Oberamt Meisenheim was a (and the much larger) office of the Landgraviate and spatially separated from the Office Homburg . Only came to the Landgraviate in 1816, there was no historically grown relationship between Homburg and Meisenheim. The Meisenheim population was accordingly reserved when it came to the rule of the landgraves. There were massive conflicts over toll payments and insufficient salt deliveries. Johann Georg Martin Reinhardt brought order with a hard hand and ensured calm in the Oberamt Meisenheim.
As part of the March Revolution , there was also an uprising in the Landgraviate in 1848. In addition to the liberal and democratic goals of the revolution, Meisenheim focused on self-determination towards Homburg. A leave of absence from Johann Georg Martin Reinhardt was enforced on April 6, 1848 at the Landgrave. Privy Councilor Dr. Christian Bansa . However, the leave of absence was lifted as early as 1849 and Reinhardt was back in office.
In 1866 the Landgraviate fell to Prussia after the Hesse-Homburg family died out. The Oberamt Meisenheim became the Prussian district of Meisenheim. In Prussia, too, the administration of the district administrator was obviously valued. Reinhardt remained in office until his death. He was taken on as a Prussian civil servant in 1867 and appointed Prussian privy councilor on September 15, 1869 .
