Ludwig von Lützow

Ludwig Friedrich Wilhelm von Lützow (* July 25, 1793 in Ludwigslust , † May 13, 1872 in Boddin ) was a German administrative lawyer and Mecklenburg-Schwerin diplomat , government official and politician .

Life

Ludwig von Lützow was the son of the ducal Mecklenburg-Schwerin Oberhofmeister and Mecklenburg envoy in Paris and at the Prussian court in Berlin, August von Lützow (1757-1835). He attended the Katharineum in Lübeck until Michaelis 1811 and studied law from April 1812 at the University of Rostock . On March 24, 1813, Duke Friedrich Franz I sent him to Paris to inform his father of the Duke's change of front. After that he took part in the Wars of Liberation with the Prussian Guard Dragoons Regiment. In 1815 he resumed his studies and graduated from the University of Göttingen in 1816 . He became a member of the Corps Vandalia Rostock and the Corps Vandalia Göttingen.

After completing his legal training, he entered the service of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1816 and was appointed to the government in 1822. With the succession to the throne by Grand Duke Paul Friedrich , he became Second Minister and District President on May 6, 1837, and on July 6, 1840, as the successor to the late Christian Friedrich Krüger, First Minister and President of the Privy Council. In this position Lützow received the Prussian Order of the Red Eagle 1st Class on January 7, 1841 .

1848/49 member of the constituent assembly of representatives for the Ventschow electoral district, Lützow was one of the protagonists of a constitutional form of government in Mecklenburg, which provided for a state ministry. The new, liberal Mecklenburg constitution, the Basic State Law, came into force on October 10, 1849 in the Mecklenburg-Schwerin region. As early as April 12, 1850, he resigned as Minister of State in protest against the attempts by Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II , who wanted to restore Mecklenburg-Schwerin to the legal status before the 1848 revolution during the restoration phase based on the Freienwalder arbitration award .

Lützow spent his retirement as chamberlain on his manor Boddin. He collected a large number of archaeological finds on his estate and is also mentioned in letters from Fritz Reuter .

Lützow had been with Sophie, born on May 27, 1819. Baroness von Brandenstein (1796–1876) married, a daughter of August Georg von Brandenstein (1755–1836). The later Prussian Major General Louis von Lützow (1831-1882) emerged from the marriage. His daughter Karoline Luise (Lilla) (* October 10, 1822, † June 29, 1866) was married to District Administrator Rudolph von Oertzen .
