Johann Jakob Hürlimann

Johann Jakob Hürlimann , also Johann Jakob Hürlimann-Landis (born October 30, 1796 in Richterswil ; † July 15, 1853 there ) was a Swiss industrialist and politician .

Life

Johann Jakob Hürlimann was the son of the factory owner Johannes Hürlimann (born January 13, 1767 in Richterswil, † November 9, 1854 there) and his wife Anna Burkhard; his brother was the politician Hans Heinrich Hürlimann .

After attending the citizen school in Zurich , he worked in his father's company.

Villa to the rose garden

In 1831 his father built the Villa Zum Rosengarten for him at Dorfstrasse 75 in Richterswil . Today in the complex, next to the villa, is the Reformed parish hall and secretariat.

From 1832 to 1838 and from 1839 to 1846 he was a councilor . He was a member of the cantonal chamber of commerce from 1836 to 1849 and of the church council from 1839 to 1841 .

Johann Jakob Hürlimann was married to Anna Barbara (* 1796), daughter of the doctor and Grand Councilor Johann Caspar Landis (1766–1841). Her daughter Rosine Hürlimann (born January 28, 1818, † September 2, 1895 in Zurich) was married to the theologian Alexander Schweizer .

Political activity

Johann Jakob Hürlimann was president of the cantonal faith committee against the appointment of David Friedrich Strauss when he was to become professor of theology at the University of Zurich in 1839 (see also Straussenhandel ). After the resignation of David Friedrich Strauss's appointment, the committee acted as a kind of counter-government and organisationally prepared an overthrow (see also Züriputsch ).

On September 2, 1839, he was the main speaker at a popular assembly in Kloten that supported the concerns of the opposition. On September 5, 1839, two thousand armed men from the country people marched into Zurich to hand over a petition with their demands to the government.

When there was a shooting between the angry rural people and infantrymen on September 6, 1839, which resulted in fourteen deaths, the government council of the canton of Zurich dissolved. Then Colonel Paul Carl Eduard Ziegler , as President of the municipality, took the initiative and formed a new, conservative government in the form of a provisional Council of State. This consisted of four members of the overthrown government and three new members from the opposition. Hans Jakob Hürlimann, as leader of the opposition, formed together with Heinrich Escher , Hans Conrad von Muralt (1779–1869), Johann Jakob Hess , Melchior Friedrich Sulzer (1791–1853), Eduard Sulzer (1789–1857) and Ludwig Meyer von Knonau the Provisional Government; however, he only belonged to the new government until its new election.
