Ludwig Heinrich Friedrich Hecht , von Hecht since 1828 , (born August 19, 1774 in Halberstadt ; † August 6, 1854 in Augsburg ) was a Prussian, later Bavarian civil servant who worked as a war and domain councilor .

Life

He was born in the former bishopric of Halberstadt , which fell to the Electorate of Brandenburg in 1648 and was converted into a principality. His father was the later Halberstadt government director Johann Julius Albrecht Hecht . His mother was Charlotte Friederike (1739–1806), daughter of the merchant and dean Hermann Stilcke from Magdeburg . The Justice Commissioner Carl Christian Julius Hecht and the Oberamtmann Friedrich Wilhelm Leopold Hecht were his brothers.

After taking lessons from private teachers, he attended the cathedral school in his hometown from 1784, where he graduated from high school in 1790. In 1792 he went to study at the University of Halle , where he studied law and camera science. After successfully completing his studies, like several of his relatives, he embarked on an administrative career. In 1795 he became a trainee lawyer at the War and Domain Chamber in Magdeburg. In 1798 he applied to take the Rigorosum, which he successfully passed. The following year he became a member of the Freemasons.

In 1801, Hecht passed the major exam. Then he was promoted to chamber assessor in Bayreuth . After the Eichsfeld fell to Prussia as a principality and he was reprimanded for negligence in Bayreuth, it was relocated to Heiligenstadt , where he worked as an extraordinary war and domain council. After two years, however, he went back to Bayreuth, where he was now appointed as an ordinary war and domain council. With the transfer of Bayreuth to Bavaria, Hecht was taken over into the Bavarian civil service.

Because of his merits, he was raised to the Bavarian nobility by King Ludwig I in 1828 and was knight of the Order of St. Michael . He died in Augsburg in 1854.

Hecht was married to the baroness Maria Anna von Welden († May 4, 1854). Nothing is known about the children left behind.
