Julius Simon von Nördlinger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julius Simon Nördlinger , from 1841 von Nördlinger , (born September 28, 1771 in Pfullingen ; † June 28, 1860 ) was a German mountain and forestry advisor and reformer of the Württemberg forestry .

Life

Julius Simon Nördlinger was a son of the braid maker Christoph Friedrich Nördlinger and his wife Maria Margarete, b. Grape. In his childhood the family moved to Tübingen , where he attended Latin school. Despite very good school results, he then completed an apprenticeship as a braid maker, since his father apparently could not finance a degree or training as a painter. From 1792 to 1793 he wandered along the Rhine and in Switzerland. Then he was employed by the forestry commission in Tübingen, whose task it was to make the forestry of the church council more transparent. Julius Simon Nördlinger dealt in particular with the recording and mapping of the forest areas and finally became an assistant to the forest geometer Christian Zais , who later worked as an architect in Wiesbaden. Nördlinger acquired knowledge in various areas of the natural sciences by himself.

Through his essay on Sternberg in Offenhausen was Elector Frederick noticed him and gave him a travel grant. From 1804 to 1806 Nördlinger traveled to Bavaria, Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Saxony, Anhalt, Thuringia and Prussia. In addition to further forestry knowledge, he expanded his knowledge in the field of metallurgy and saltworks, which was also in the spirit of the later King Friedrich. This seems to have strongly protected Nördlinger: Nördlinger refused an appointment as professor of camera and forestry at the University of Tübingen in 1804 or 1805. In 1806 he was appointed mining and forestry advisor in the Ministry of Finance. When the Upper Finance Council was established in the Ministry of Finance in 1816, Julius Simon Nördlinger was one of its first members as a forest officer. In 1818 he was also chairman of the new forestry council as chief finance councilor, and in 1822 the forestry council was dissolved again, with the result that Nördlinger now embodied the only central office of the forest administration. From this time until 1850, the Württemberg forestry was reformed.

In addition to forestry, iron and steel works, salt extraction, charcoal burning and peat as well as rafting fell into Nördlinger's area of ​​responsibility.

Nördlinger, who was primarily interested in technology, also worked towards the establishment of the Bodenseedampfschifffahrtsgesellschaft as an AG and reacted bitterly when it was nationalized in 1850.

Honors

1820 declined Nördlinger with the permission of the king, the election to the assembly of the estates from the representative of the Office of Tübingen. In 1840 he was granted citizenship in Tübingen. In 1841 Wilhelm I granted him the personal nobility and the dignity of the Order of the Württemberg Crown. In 1906 the rest and refuge "Nördlinger Hütte" was built on a tower stump of the former Vörbach Castle near Pfalzgrafenweiler . It was named after Julius Nördlinger, the then founding chairman of the Black Forest Association Pfalzgrafenweiler.

family

The sons Karl , Hermann and Wilhelm as well as the daughter Luise Marie emerged from the marriage with Carolina Wilhelmine Duttenhofer . She married the businessman and politician Karl Finckh.

In his second marriage Nördlinger was married to Caroline Zeller.
