Education and study

Due to the death of his mother, Ludwig Philipp Christian von Türcke was brought up from 1779 in the house of Minister Franz Eckbrecht Freiherr von Dürckheim (1729–1807). On May 1, 1790, he went to the University of Jena , together with Count Karl Friedrich Johann Eckbrecht von Dürckheim (1770-1836), later father of Ferdinand Eckbrecht von Dürckheim-Montmartin , where he successfully completed his law studies in 1792.

career

In September 1789 he was appointed court squire by Duke Georg I. In November 1791 he received the decree as a government assessor and was introduced as such in 1792. In October 1793 he was promoted to chamberlain . In March 1797 he was appointed a councilor and in January 1798 was promoted to court cavalier by the Duchess Charlotte von Sachsen-Meiningen . In June 1800 Duke Georg I appointed him consistorial councilor and in February 1809 Duchess Louise Eleonore zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg promoted him to secret government councilor.

When the joint higher appeal court of the Ernestine countries was founded in 1816 , Ludwig Philipp Christian von Türcke played a significant role in this.

In February 1819 he was appointed vice-president of the consistory and Duke Bernhard II promoted him to the real president of his college and consistorial president on August 11, 1822. In 1827 he was made a privy councilor. In November 1828, von Türcke was appointed President of the Higher Regional Court after this court had been established in 1823 as a higher court and judicial administrative authority and thus performed the tasks of the administration of justice and judicial activity, which until then had primarily been incumbent on the government and the chamber. Since 1829 the Higher Regional Court was responsible for the entire state of Saxony-Meiningen and, like the consistory, was relocated to Hildburghausen . On February 9, 1829, Ludwig Philipp Christian von Türcke was appointed President of the two relocated authorities, but he died just before he took up his duties.
