Life
Ludwig Wirschinger was born the son of a master tailor. In 1792 he attended the episcopal grammar school and from 1797 the Lyceum in Regensburg, his teachers included Placidus Heinrich , Kaspar Obermair and Andreas Wedl. For this he received private tuition in the institutions of Roman law as well as in diplomacy and other political sciences from the Privy Councilor of Epplen. In order to gain practical experience, he spent some time at the royal Regensburg nursing court in Wörth .
He began studying law at the University of Landshut in 1803 and graduated with a Dr. jur .; he also taught two sons of the court counselor and later councilor of state Nikolaus Thaddäus von Gönner , who was a teacher of constitutional law . In 1806 Wirschinger was promoted to the board of the princely nursing court. In 1807 he received the appointment to the princely primatic higher regional judge .
When the Principality of Regensburg became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria on May 22, 1810 , he was transferred to Landshut as a police commissioner in 1811 and to Munich in the same year . In 1816 he became director of the police department in Augsburg , which was confirmed by royal decree on March 8, 1817. In 1818 the position of police director was dissolved and Ludwig von Wirschinger was promoted to the royal city commissioner in Augsburg. 1819 he was appointed to the Royal Government . In 1823 he was appointed to the Royal Ministry of the Interior, and on October 15, 1823, he was promoted to the real Ministerial Councilor; he held this office in the department for Catholic religious matters until his transfer.
In 1826 he was transferred to the Royal Ministry of Finance and appointed by royal rescript of November 1, 1828 to the head of the royal general customs administration. In the same year, King Ludwig I awarded him the Knight's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Bavarian Crown . With the award the elevation to the personal nobility was connected and he was allowed to call himself "Ritter von Wirschinger" after the entry in the nobility register . In 1837 he received the commander of this order.
He was responsible for the new customs system under Minister of State Joseph von Armansperg . Due to the introduction of the Bavarian Customs Association with the neighboring states of Württemberg , Prussia , Saxony , Hesse and Thuringia , Ludwig von Wirschinger worked out solutions to problems in terms of state economy and politics. At the same time he was also responsible for the reorganization of the customs system in Bavaria, which he retained under Finance Minister Arnold Friedrich von Mieg and under Baron Maximilian Emanuel von Lerchenfeld .
In 1833 he became a Real Privy Councilor and on January 2, 1835 he was appointed to the State Council , at the same time he was given the portfolio of the Ministry of Finance as Minister. A conflict with the Minister of the Interior Oettingen-Wallerstein over budget law, which he provoked at the meeting of the estates in 1837, led to his dismissal by King Ludwig I. Wirschinger contributed significantly to the establishment of the coinage convention of the southern German states.
In 1806 he married the daughter of Hofrat Politzka from Wörth; together they had 15 children; but when he died there were only two sons and four daughters alive.
