from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Michael Eggena (born August 19, 1789 in Kassel ; † December 17 or 18, 1840 in Fulda ) was a Hessian politician and lawyer.

Life

His father, Christoph Ludwig Eggena, was a businessman in Kassel. Karl Michael Eggena studied law at the Philipps University of Marburg from 1806 .

Karl Eggena was married to a daughter of Johann August Nahl , sculptor and academy director in Kassel.

Eggena was initially a lawyer and then from 1811 in the Kingdom of Westphalia procurator at the court of first instance and at the court of appeal. In 1814 he became a government archivist in what was now the Electorate of Hesse. He designed the division into repositories and classes for the registries of the Hessian ministries.

From 1821 Eggena became general secretary of the ministries of justice, the interior and the finances of the electoral state, in 1830 he was a government advisor in the state ministry, where he was responsible for legislative matters, among other things. During the constituent Landtag in 1830 and the assembly of the first Landtag in 1831/32, Karl Eggena was the Landtag commissioner , thus forming the hinge between the government and the Landtag. In this function he was also involved in the creation of the Hessian constitution of 1831 , for which he presented the basics at the end of September and the first published draft on October 7, 1830. In 1832 he managed the Ministry of the Interior for around four months until he completed his professional career as director of the government in Fulda in May 1832.

The Hessian municipal code of 1834 is essentially based on Eggena's drafts.
