Julius Hermann Ernst Freiherr von Rotenhan (born August 16, 1805 at Rentweinsdorf Castle ; † May 30, 1882 at Eyrichshof Castle ) was a Bavarian landlord and royal Bavarian government official and politician.

origin

He was the son of the landlord Sigmund von Rotenhan (1761-1826) on Rentweinsdorf and Antoinette, née von Lenthe (1778-1806). Rotenhan was majorate at Eyrichshof bei Ebern , where he also lived at his castle, landlord at Ebelsbach and Rentweinsdorf and from 1830 royal chamberlain . His sister Hedwig (1796–1864) was married to the Prussian general Karl von Grolman .

Life

After studying law at the universities of Erlangen , Berlin , Göttingen , Würzburg and Munich , he completed the usual preparatory service for the civil service career. Until the summer of 1838 he was a government assessor at the Chamber of the Interior at the government of Upper Franconia in Bayreuth , most recently as head of the statistical office.

From autumn 1838 to 1841 Rotenhan was the official successor of Hans Carl Freiherr von Thüngen district judge in Bad Kissingen and at the same time bath commissioner of the state bath there , and he took care of the infrastructural expansion. Among other things, he had restaurants built for hikers in the ruined Kaskadental on the forest path to the Klaushof forest house and at the Botenlauben castle ruins . In 1840 he set up a “whey facility” for drinking “ curative whey ”. He had the promenades and hiking trails neglected in the past expanded again. Philipp Freiherr von Zu Rhein came to Bad Kissingen as his successor in 1841 .

In 1841 Rotenhan was as Councilor to the chamber of the Interior of the Government of Middle Franconia in Ansbach added. From December 1, 1847, he was back in Bayreuth as a government director for the government of Upper Franconia. There he was also on the board of the Protestant consistory . At the end of 1857 he left the Bavarian civil service at his own request because of political differences. As a former fraternity member , he became a member of the old Erlanger fraternity in 1824 , the old Göttingen fraternity in 1826 and the Germania / Amicitia Würzburg fraternity in 1827 , and a supporter of liberal ideas of the German Revolution of 1848/1849 , he was more of an advocate of a holistic Germany, which is why Bavaria's new king Maximilian II and his minister Rotenhan regarded it as "an opponent of Bavaria" .

On December 14, 1858 he was elected member of the Bavarian state parliament with 171 votes in Haßfurt , which he remained until 1861. On March 6, 1860, he supported a public appeal in the "Association of German Nobles for the Restoration of the Knight's Chapel in Haßfurt ".

From 1869 to 1880 he was district administrator (today: district council president ) of Upper Franconia.

Memberships

He was (at least since 1840) a member of the “Polytechnic Association for the Kingdom of Bavaria” and (around 1851) also a member of the “Historical Association for Upper Franconia”.
