Johann von Dassel (born July 8, 1781 in Lüneburg ; † January 24, 1859 ) was a German politician and mayor of justice in Lüneburg.

origin

He came from the family of Dassel and was a son of the chamberlain of Lüneburg Georg David von Dassel (born April 29, 1748 - November 25, 1798) and his wife Dorothea von Töbing (* April 30, 1762 - † April 7, 1813) . His brother August (1784–1868) became a Prussian major general.

Life

Johann was initially a student at the Ilfeld Abbey School , then at the Johanneum Lüneburg . Then he studied law at the University of Göttingen . He took his exam in 1804 at the Higher Appeal Court in Celle and then worked in legal matters for the Lüneburg magistrate. In 1806 he was appointed senator for life. In 1810 he was a member of the prefectural council in the department of the Nieder-Elbe and then worked for the French occupiers. They accused him of hostile behavior in 1813 and wanted to arrest him, so that he fled to the headquarters of Ludwig von Wallmoden-Gimborn near Dömitz , near which the battle of the Göhrde soon broke out. As captain of the Nienburg Landwehr Battalion , which belonged to the Hoya Infantry Regiment of the new army in the Kingdom of Hanover , he was called up in 1815 for the battle of Waterloo .

Although the unit did not intervene, he received an award as a participant. In Nienburg he met Luise von Lösecke, whom he married in 1816. He then returned to Lüneburg as a legal entity. In his house he temporarily took in the later writer Günther Nicol. In 1847 he became president of the court and until 1852 also mayor of justice. Then he was awarded the Guelph Order Class IV. From 1803 he was a member of the Masonic lodge Zum Schwarzen Bär in Hanover. He had about 10 children who moved away from Lüneburg. Like his wife, who died in 1881, he was buried in Lüneburg, where a street was named after him in 1954 (Von-Dassel-Str.). In 1981, a council resolution renamed a section of a street after a meadow formerly owned by the Mayor of Justice Johann von Dassel (Dasselkamp).
