Johann Pogge

Johann Daniel Georg Pogge , with the addition of the ownership name also: Pogge-Striesenow , Pogge-Roggow (* March 22, 1793 in Roggow ; † January 11, 1854 ibid) was a German farmer from the Mecklenburg family Pogge and member of the Frankfurt National Assembly .

Life

Johann Pogge was born as the younger son of the landowner Carl Pogge in Roggow near Güstrow . He attended the Güstrow Cathedral School, passed his Abitur somewhere and studied philosophy in Berlin from 1810 to 1816 . During his studies he took part in the wars of liberation as a volunteer , he served in the Jägercorps and the Russian Legion .

In 1816 Pogge took over the management of the Striesenow manor , after his father's death he also took over the management of the Roggow and Krassow estates. He continued his father's ideas and made a contribution to the industrialization and rationalization of agriculture. His merino breeding, the introduction of field railways, the well thought-out construction of agricultural roads and the cleverly calculated amelioration earned him the reputation of a modern country capitalist . Pogge was an estate neighbor and one of Johann Heinrich von Thünen's closest friends and colleagues .

As a bourgeois landowner, he was a member of the Mecklenburg state parliament from 1834 to 1848 and of the constituent assembly of representatives from 1848 to 1849 . Here he campaigned for the abolition of the noble class advantages. At the end of the pre-March Johann Pogge high attention aroused by a proposal he presented in Parliament on 27 November 1847th The core was the demand for an extension of the state parliament to create a representation of the entire people (in the previous knighthood and landscape only the owners of the manors and representatives of the cities were represented). This motion generated enthusiasm among Liberals across the country. In the following four weeks alone, Pogge received ten thank-you addresses from various cities.

In 1848 he was a member of the preliminary parliament . After the March Revolution , Pogge was elected to the constituent assembly of representatives and for the 6th Mecklenburg constituency of Güstrow in the Mecklenburg-Schwerin part of the state, to which he belonged from May 18, 1848 to November 3, 1848. Johann Pogge did not appear as a speaker in Frankfurt. He did not join any faction, but voted with the right center. His mandate then passed to Johann Mann from Rostock.

Johann Pogge had been with Luise, geb. Behm (1799–1882) married, a daughter of the lawyer and landowner on Klein Kussewitz and Finkenberg Johann Joachim Behm, who later wrote memoirs. The marriage produced eight children, including the later politicians August (1825-1884), Franz (1827-1902), and Hermann (1831-1900). The latter two were members of the Reichstag, and Hermann later became an honorary citizen of Teterow .
