Julius August Isaak Jolly (born February 21, 1823 in Mannheim , † October 14, 1891 in Karlsruhe ) was a Baden politician and from 1868 to 1876 Minister of State and Head of Government.

Life

Julius Jolly was the son of Ludwig Jolly (1780-1853), a businessman and 1836-1849 mayor of Mannheim, and Marie Eleonore Jolly, née Alt (1786-1859). On December 18, 1852, he married Elisabeth Fallenstein. His brother Philipp von Jolly (1809–1884) was a professor of physics in Heidelberg and Munich.

After legal studies in Bonn , Berlin and Leipzig , he received his doctorate with a dissertation on the subject of "On the evidence procedure according to the law of the Saxon mirror" ( summa cum laude ) he became a private lecturer at the University of Heidelberg in 1847 and a professor in 1857. From 1861 to 1868 Jolly represented Heidelberg University as a member of the First Chamber of the Baden Estates Assembly . From 1869 to 1876 Jolly was a member of the National Liberal Party of the Second Chamber of the Baden Estates Assembly.

In 1861 Jolly was appointed to the Baden civil service, initially as a government councilor, from 1862 as a ministerial councilor and finally in 1866 as president of the interior ministry. From 1868 to 1876 he was Minister of State and head of the Baden government of his name . Here he continued the work of his predecessor Karl Mathy by making a significant contribution to the unification of Germany . Due to the separation of church and state affairs, he anticipated the Prussian Kulturkampf in the Baden Kulturkampf . The church-political legislation of his reign was primarily shaped by the clergy's cultural exams, the introduction of civil marriage (1869) and the introduction of the simultaneous school (deconfessionalization of the school, 1876). The Simultaneous School Act sparked national outrage and was to lead to the dismissal of Jolly as Prime Minister in 1876.

His brother Philipp von Jolly (1809–1884), 14 years older than him , who taught physics in Munich and worked on the introduction of the meter system in the German Confederation , was his authority and received suggestions for his work as Minister of State.

In 1869 he submitted a draft to the state parliament for the introduction of the North German order of measurements and weights of the North German Confederation in Baden.

On September 21, 1872 there was a scandal when the Grand Duke considered a change in the management of the State Ministry to be necessary because of the incidents in the state parliament concerning the introduction of the "mixed elementary school". Jolly asked for his release, which was given to him with an order.

Jolly was appointed President of the Chamber of Accounts. In 1876 he stood as a candidate in the Reichstag elections, but was overruled by the Social Democrats.

In 1878 he turned down the offered position as head of the finance department in the Reich Chancellery.
