Ludwig Jacobi

Ludwig Herrmann Wilhelm Jacobi (born March 31, 1816 in Schwedt , † October 11, 1882 in Berlin ) was a Prussian civil servant and politician.

Life

After attending grammar school in Danzig , Jacobi studied in Berlin and Bonn . He then made several trips through Germany and Paris to pursue industrial studies.

In 1837 he was an ausculator at the Higher Regional Court in Poznan . He was appointed government assessor in 1840 . He was active as such in Danzig, Gumbinnen and Köslin . In 1844 he moved to the General Commission in Münster . Jacobi was an unskilled worker in the Ministry of Commerce in 1848 and in 1849 went to the Arnsberg district government in the rank of government councilor . During this time he exerted considerable influence on the economic development of the administrative district. From 1860 he was a secret councilor in the Ministry of the Interior. For political reasons he was transferred to the government in Liegnitz in 1864 . The background was that he had written in 1863 against what he believed to be unconstitutional press legislation. Thereupon he was assumed to have an ultra-liberal attitude. In 1882 Jacobi resigned from civil service.

Between 1867 and 1882 he was a member of the Prussian House of Representatives . There he was a member of the Commission for Trade and Industry. From 1871 to 1876 and again from 1881 to 1882 he was also a member of the Reichstag . He belonged to the National Liberal Party .

He published various papers on trade statistics in the Arnsberg administrative region. His work on mining, metallurgy and trade in the Arnsberg administrative district from 1857 was the first economic statistical representation of this region. In addition to the numbers, he also warned that industrial development should be designed for the “good of mankind”. Among other things, he has called for the establishment of workers' benefit funds. He also wrote about conditions in Silesia, insurance and other subjects. Jacobi also published the magazine of the German Civil Service Association. He was chairman of the Liegnitz Association to support the warrior families.
