Karl Prosch

Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Prosch , also Carl Prosch (born August 30, 1802 in Ludwigslust , † December 19, 1876 in Schwerin ) was a German administrative lawyer in Mecklenburg-Schwerin . He sat in the Reichstag (North German Confederation) .

Life

Karl Prosch was the son of the secretary of the same name to the Hereditary Grand Duke Friedrich Ludwig zu Mecklenburg and later secret finance councilor, Carl Prosch (* 1765 in Cottbus), and his first wife, Carolina Sophia Wilhelmina, nee. Weiss († September 11, 1805 in Ludwigslust at the age of 29). From 1818 to 1821 he attended the Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster in Berlin and then studied law , economics and finance at the Georg-August University in Göttingen , the University of Rostock , the University of Geneva and the Sorbonne . He became a member of the Corps Vandalia Göttingen (1823) and the Corps Vandalia Rostock (1825). In Göttingen he was promoted to Dr. iur. PhD .

Afterwards Prosch was employed in the government chancellery in Schwerin and in 1833 he became a real government registrar, in 1840 a legation councilor and in 1841 a secret councilor. In 1846 he became a councilor and thereby a real member of the grand ducal government .

The main focus of his work was finance and railway issues. His efforts to establish a railway connection in Lübeck failed because of the resistance from Denmark . The negotiations about the Berlin-Hamburg railway between Prussia , Hamburg , Denmark and Mecklenburg , in which he represented the latter, led to the licensing of the Berlin-Hamburg railway company. In 1849 he was elected to the Mecklenburg Chamber of Deputies in the constituency of Mecklenburg-Schwerin 4 and to the finance committee. In the same year the Grand Duke appointed him "Director in the Ministry of Finance" in the Ministry of Lützow, which he remained until 1856. He was Mecklenburg's representative in the diplomatic negotiations to replace the Elbe tariffs and the Sund tariffs in Copenhagen in 1856/57 . That is why he was placed "at the disposal of the State Ministry" in 1856, with which he resigned from the financial administration. In 1860 he resigned from civil service completely.

In 1867 the 20 western cities of Mecklenburg elected him to the Reichstag of the North German Confederation . After the founding of the German Empire he sat in the Reichstag (German Empire) as a representative of the constituency of Mecklenburg-Schwerin 1 (Hagenow - Grevesmühlen) until his death.

In 1870 he was a member of the deputation of the North German Reichstag, which asked King Wilhelm in Versailles for the renewal and acceptance of the German imperial crown.

Vandalia Rostock awarded him honorary membership .

His brother Eduard Prosch (1804–1878) was the founder of the Vandalia Rostock and director of the Grand Ducal Art Collections in Schwerin.
