Julius von Brünken
Julius Friedrich von Brünken (* 1798 in Leipzig , † 1875 in Heringsdorf ) was a German politician .
Life
Brünken studied law. He worked as a higher regional court trainee and then as a judicial commissioner at the city and regional court of Halberstadt until 1831. He was then elected mayor and, in 1839, finally lord mayor of Halberstadt . In this capacity, Brünken was the city's Huldingungsdeputy the following year on the occasion of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV's accession to the throne and received the Order of the Red Eagle . From 1861 to 1868 he was also a member of the Prussian manor house .
Brünken was the driving force behind the founding of the Sparkasse in Halberstadt on June 3, 1833 (the successor institutions were merged into it as part of the Harzsparkasse ). He was convinced of "the benevolent influence and the manifold benefits of a savings bank for the poorer part of the population". Von Brünken was a proponent of the new thinking: Poverty was not accepted as given by God. Rather, humans were recognized as individuals who, with the right assistance, are able to provide for themselves and their children on their own responsibility.
