Klemens von Korff
Count Klemens von Korff called Schmising (* May 16, 1804 in Dinklage ; † May 25, 1882 in Münster ) was the Prussian district administrator of the Halle (Westphalia) district and a member of parliament.
Life
He was the son of Maximilian Frederik Hendrik von Korff called Schmising and Sophia Luise (née von Galen). He himself married Pauline Maria Franziska von Merveldt in 1829 . The marriage resulted in the sons Klemens (* 1834) and Maximilian (* 1840). Von Korff was the owner of the manor at Tatenhausen in the Halle district in Westphalia.
He attended high school in Münster. He then studied law and camera science in Göttingen and Berlin without taking an exam. He served as a one-year volunteer in the Guard Rifle Battalion. With a ministerial exemption he was able to enter the Prussian administrative service as an ausculator with the government in Münster. In 1837 he was elected district deputy for the Halle district. From 1855 he was district administrator there, initially subject to the relevant examination. A year later, he was released from the obligation to examine.
In connection with the Kulturkampf he was put into temporary retirement in 1875. The background was that he had tolerated his servant signing an address of allegiance in favor of the deposed Bishop of Paderborn Konrad Martin . While the district president of Minden saw no danger in this in the predominantly Protestant district of Halle, the Westphalian chief president Friedrich von Kühlwetter insisted "in the interest of the state authority" for a dismissal. The Prussian State Ministry unanimously agreed.
Von Korff was a member of the Westphalian Provincial Parliament from 1841 to 1882 . In 1847 he was a member of the United State Parliament . He also belonged to the Prussian House of Representatives in 1855/56 for the constituency of Halle-Bielefeld-Gütersloh as a non- attached member. From 1860 he was a member of the Prussian manor house for life . His brother Maximilian von Korff called Schmising was district administrator of the Lüdinghausen district .
