Karl Friedrich August von Dalwigk

Baron Karl Friedrich August Philipp von Dalwigk-Lichtenfels (also Carl ) (born December 31, 1761 in Rinteln , † February 9, 1825 in Wiesbaden ) was a lawyer, most recently president of the ducal Nassau Higher Appeal Court .

Life

Karl Friedrich von Dalwigk came from the Camp house of the Lichtenfels line of the Dalwigk family . He was a son of the Princely Waldeck Privy Council and Oberhofmarschall Johann von Dalwigk . He studied law at the Universities of Marburg and Göttingen and, in the service of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel , was an auditor at the Higher Appeal Court in Kassel in 1783 and court judge at the Hanau court in 1786 . In 1788 he entered the service of the Electorate of Mainz as court and government councilor and chamberlain . In 1800 he became an assessor at the Reich Chamber of Commerce in Wetzlar ; he was proposed for this in 1797 by King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia .

After § 33 of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss awarded the whole house of Nassau (i.e. Nassau-Dillenburg , Nassau-Weilburg and Nassau-Usingen ) the ius de non appellando , Dalwigk received the order to set up a joint higher appeal court for the whole house of Nassau with its seat in Hadamar . Dalwigk became president of the Upper Appeal Hadamar and received the character of a Privy Council.

In 1806 the Old Reich and with it the Reich Chamber of Commerce were dissolved. Nassau-Dillenburg lost its German hereditary lands and Nassau-Weilburg and Nassau-Usingen were merged into the Duchy of Nassau. Since the Nassau top of Appeal thus had its seat in Hadamar outside the Duchy, it was dissolved and in its place was in Diez the Upper Appeal Diez and later in Wiesbaden the Upper Appeal Wiesbaden formed. Dalwigk, who graduated from the Law Faculty of the University of Marburg as Dr. jur. had received his doctorate , remained President of the Higher Appeal Court until 1822.

He was buried in Wiesbaden at the Heidenmauer cemetery in 1825 .
