Karl Friedrich Lucian Samwer

Karl Friedrich Lucian Samwer (born March 16, 1819 in Eckernförde , † December 8, 1882 in Gotha ) was a German lawyer and constitutional law teacher .

Life

Samwer attended the cathedral school in Schleswig until Easter 1838 and studied law (initially also philology ) in Kiel and Berlin from 1838 to 1843 . In 1838 he became a member of the Albertina Kiel fraternity . After completing his studies, he worked as a junior lawyer in Neumünster from 1844 to autumn 1846 . From 1844 he published legal works on state succession in the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. This topic was highly political: The Danish King Christian VIII tried to abolish the order of succession in his open letter of July 8, 1846 , with the female line in the kingdom after the expected extinction of the male line and the male line of the so-called younger in Holstein royal line ( Augustenburger line ) had to come to power. In this way he wanted to prevent the collapse of the Danish state, but by doing so he had caused great excitement in the duchies.

In 1846 he moved to Kiel, where he also worked as a lawyer. In 1848 he joined the elevation of the duchies . On March 23, 1848, he was one of the Kiel citizens who appointed the Provisional Government . He joined the vigilante group and took part as a lieutenant in the capture of the Rendsburg fencing in the Schleswig-Holstein war . Afterwards he was civil adjutant of the Minister of War, the Prince of Noer and in this function was responsible for the formation and equipment of the Freicorps.

On July 24, 1847, he was appointed by the Provisional Government as a member of the five-person commission that was supposed to draft the Basic State Law for the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein .

From August 15, 1848 to 1850, he was a member of the constituent Schleswig-Holstein State Assembly for the 28th Holstein constituency and was elected as secretary to the Presidium on August 16 .

In October 1848 he became office manager in the Foreign Ministry and was involved in the peace negotiations in London ( London Protocol ) and Berlin ( Peace of Berlin ) in 1849 and 1850 .

On November 3, 1850, he became a professor in Kiel. In 1852, after the restoration of Danish rule, he was dismissed and his license to practice bar was revoked. He therefore had to leave Schleswig-Holstein and entered the state service of Saxony-Coburg-Gotha on July 2, 1852 . There he was initially a librarian , then a legation councilor and, from 1859, a government councilor in the State Ministry.

From 1863 to 1866 he was in the service of pretender Friedrich Emil August of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg and championed his inheritance law with great zeal. After his claims could not be implemented after the German War of 1866, he returned to Gotha in the summer of 1866. There he rose to head of the Finance and Domain Department.

Samwer married in Neumünster in 1855 Marie Magdalene Møller (1826–1923), daughter of Jens Møller (1779–1833), preacher at the Church of Our Lady in Copenhagen.

Ancestors and name origin

The name of Samwer's father is Carl August Samwer , a lawyer in Eckernförde who lived from 1790 to 1828. Hinrich Christian Samwer is given as his father . This is based on the following church book entry:

“Von pen a child of a traveling tablet shopkeeper from Hanover who calls himself Hinrich Christian Samwer on the baptism slip, and his wife (after the baptism slip was displayed) Christine Eleonora geb. Eller also from Hanover. This child is called - Carl August. Gev .: Johann Jacob Kresler zu Stift, and his son David Gerhard Kresler, and his wife Magdalena Dorothea. "

- Church book of Dänischenhagen

In 1804 Carl August Samwer's mother died and he grew up with Simon Carl von Wasmer (1765–1826), heir of Bienebek . When Carl August Samwer wanted to marry his eldest daughter Sophie in 1813, Simon Carl von Wasmer revealed to him that he was an illegitimate child of his and Dorothea Christine Schütt (1769-1804) and that the desired spouse was his half-sister.
