Ludwig Minnigerode

Ludwig Minnigerode (* 1773 in Alsfeld ; † 1839 in Darmstadt ) was a German lawyer and judge and civil servant from Hesse-Darmstadt .

family

Ludwig Minnigerode was a son of Johann Henrich Benjamin Minnigerode († 1789) and Juliane Charlotte Sophie, b. Hallwax (1747-1828). Ludwig Minnigerode and Marianne Wilhelmine Philippine Zimmermann (1785–1860) married in Darmstadt on November 29, 1803. The marriage resulted in:

Wilhelm Carl Ernst Christian Minnigerode (1806–1846), doctor in Darmstadt
Carl Friedrich Ernst Minnigerode (1814–1894), revolutionary, pastor in the USA

Life

After studying law , Minnigerode became a lawyer in Gießen and later a judicial and police officer in Cleeberg . In 1802 he became a member of the organizing committee for the integration of the Duchy of Westphalia into the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt . The corresponding organizational decree of 1803 was drawn up by him. It is also assumed that he is the author of the two fundamental edicts of October 12, 1803, with which the administration of the Landgraviate was fundamentally, permanently and modernly reorganized at the top and top levels. In 1804 he became President of the Provincial Government of the Duchy of Westphalia, based in Arnsberg . From 1815 he was director, later president of the Darmstadt court . He was also a member of the State Council from 1829.

Politically, he was close to liberalism . Because his son Charles the Hessian Courier of Georg Buchner had spread, the father was in 1834 early retirement and against his will. In public, however, this reason was not believed, rather it was assumed that with Minnigerode a politically inconvenient liberal judge should be removed.
