State Parliament of Hessen-Homburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Landtag of Hessen-Homburg was the short-lived state parliament of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Homburg from 1848 to 1852 .

Contrary to the provisions of the Federal Act , no constitution was granted in the Landgraviate of Hessen-Homburg for a long time. Landgrave Gustav only enacted a provisional electoral law on July 28, 1848 as part of the March Revolution . At the end of August and on September 6, 1848 (by-election), a “Chamber of Deputies” was elected, which was later renamed the “State Assembly”. This Chamber of Deputies consisted of 15 members. The president of the state assembly was the Meisenheim notary Friedrich Albert . The chamber discussed the constitution of Hessen-Homburg and the electoral law. On January 3, 1850, the Landgrave signed the constitution passed by the Chamber.

At the end of September 1850, the election for the first ordinary state parliament took place. The 16 members were convened to the state parliament on May 1, 1851. A few days later the state parliament was suspended again without it having any effect.

On April 20, 1852, Landgrave Ferdinand's constitution was suspended by landgrave decree . The state parliament had thus formally dealt with.

The so-called state committee acted as successor. This included 4 representatives of the district councils of the two Homburg offices, Amt Homburg and Oberamt Meisenheim . However, the competencies of the state committee were limited. He was only entitled to an advisory role. From 1853 onwards, the district councils were partly appointed by the landgrave and partly elected by the local councils of the individual communities.
