Karl Heinrich von Fahnenberg

Karl Heinrich Freiherr von Fahnenberg (born May 16, 1779 in Freiburg im Breisgau , † March 16, 1840 in Baden-Baden ) was a German economist. From 1819 to 1834 he was head of the Oberpostdirektion in the Grand Duchy of Baden.

Life

Origin, marriage and offspring

Freiherr von Fahnenberg was a great-grandson of the Savior of Freiburg, Franz Ferdinand Mayer von Fahnenberg , as well as a son of Egid Joseph Karl von Fahnenberg and his wife Karoline Sophie von Rueding.

In 1806 he married Wilhemine von Freystedt, a granddaughter of Grand Duke Karl Friedrich von Baden from an illegitimate relationship. Their daughter, Marie von Fahnenberg (1818–1872), married Ernst Rudolph August von Hügel (* 1794) Marie worked as a writer.

education

He studied law at the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg , the Friedrich Alexander University of Erlangen (enrolled October 22, 1797) and the Georg August University of Göttingen (April 14, 1799). On May 28, 1798 he was one of the founders of the Corps Onoldia .

The civil servant career

After completing his studies, he entered the Austrian service as legation secretary in Karlsruhe and Munich in 1801 . When, after the Peace of Pressburg (1805), his homeland, the formerly Upper Austrian Breisgau, came to Baden, he became a Baden government councilor in Freiburg im Breisgau . In 1810 he was appointed Ministerialrat in the Interior Ministry of the Grand Duchy of Baden in Karlsruhe. In 1819 he became Baden's chief postal director and took over the management of the debt repayment fund for the time being in 1823 and finally in 1826. Through the reform of the Baden postal service , he earned services to the history of Baden. In 1820 he set up the first express car route between Mannheim and Karlsruhe , which served as a model for the introduction of express mail routes in Prussia , in the Thurn-und-Taxis-Post area and later throughout Germany.

Fahnenberg translated Jean-Baptiste Says Catéchisme d'économie politique et opuscules divers (Catechism of the National Economy ).

Friend of the Poles and the free press

In July 1831, Fahnenberg, together with Carl Theodor Welcker , Ignaz Heinrich von Wessenberg and the Lord Mayor of Karlsruhe, August Klose, called for the establishment of an aid association for Poland to support the rebellious Poles ( November uprising 1830/1831 ) against Russia . The attitude of the liberal bourgeoisie, which is somewhat disparagingly described as Polish swarming , produced well-known collection results in Karlsruhe. Bandages and donations were sent to the insurgents in Warsaw, and after their defeat around 700 Polish refugees were supported on their way to France. After the Hambach Festival , the German Confederation banned all political associations in July 1832 and the Karlsruhe Polish Association dissolved on August 4, 1832.

In 1831, Fahnenberg was also committed to the liberal press law, to the preservation of freedom from censorship and to rehabilitation as a goal in the penal system.

In 1834 he was retired, with health reasons being officially mentioned.
