Ludwig Delius

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst Wilhelm Friedrich Heinrich Ludwig (Louis) Delius (born December 27, 1807 in Minden , Westphalia , † July 1, 1888 in Mayen , Eifel ) was a Prussian civil servant and liberal politician.

Life

Ludwig was the third child of Daniel Heinrich Delius and his wife Helena geb. Schrader (1781-1852). He first attended the grammar school in Trier and then the pedagogy of the Francke Foundations in Halle an der Saale . From 1827 to 1830 he studied law in Bonn and Berlin . As a trainee lawyer , he joined the Prussian judicial service at the Münster Higher Regional Court in 1830 . In the same year he completed his military service as a one-year volunteer . Later Delius was a Landwehr officer , from October 16, 1852 with the rank of captain .

In 1834 he was appointed clerk at the Higher Regional Court in Münster and moved in the same year as a government clerk in Koblenz in the Prussian administrative services. In 1841 Delius was appointed a government assessor .

In 1835 he married the widow Clara Theissing, b. Noelken (1799–1855) and Elisabeth Hachez (1824–1882) in 1857; he had ten children. The family lived - together with the families of his siblings Eduard and Clara - until 1863 in the secularized Laach Monastery (now Maria Laach ) in the Eifel, which his father had acquired . Then he built a house in Mayen. The three families mentioned are also the builders of the second Laacher tunnel , which lowered the water level of the Laacher See in order to gain pastureland.

District Administrator in Mayen

In 1835 he was initially entrusted with the office of district administrator of the Mayen district . From 1844 to 1852 he was a regular district administrator. In 1851 he was put into temporary retirement for political reasons - because as a member of the second chamber he "behaved too opposition". After the beginning of the New Era he was able to re-enter the civil service and was again District Administrator in Mayen from 1859 to 1886. With the rank of secret government councilor, he retired on October 1, 1886 at his own request.

A report on the consequences of the flood damage in 1859 in his circle is also of historical interest.

politics

From 1849 to 1862 he was a member of the second chamber of the Prussian state parliament and the Prussian House of Representatives for various constituencies. At first he belonged to the left, later he was a member of the old liberal faction of Georg von Vincke , the Grabow faction and finally the National Liberal Party . After a break he was again a member of the House of Representatives in the parliamentary group of the National Liberal Party from 1867 to 1885. From 1876 to 1885 he was secretary of the house and speaker and from 1873 to 1879 and from 1882 to 1885 chairman of various parliamentary commissions.

He was also a member of the North German Reichstag in 1867 . Delius was also a member of the Provincial Parliament of the Rhine Province .
