Live and act

Lukas von Zwickle was born on February 3, 1803 as the son of the Feldkirch pharmacist Lukas von Zwickle and his wife Eva (née Gantner) in Feldkirch in Vorarlberg . From 1817 to 1821 he attended high school in Feldkirch and then became a lawyer. He was initially a criminal trainee at the Feldkirch district court from 1828 and became adjunct 1st class at the Sonnenberg district court in 1846 . From 1850 until his death in 1856 he was finally head of the newly established public prosecutor's office in Feldkirch.

He was elected to the Reichstag and the Frankfurt National Assembly without ever having applied for these offices. Lukas von Zwickle subsequently rejected the election to the Frankfurt National Assembly entirely; his political activity in the Reichstag was only very modest. Nevertheless, he was elected one of the six secretaries of the Reichstag. He basically voted in a reactionary line with his Vorarlberg colleague Johann Kaspar Ratz and the Tyrolean MPs, except for the question of the separation of Vorarlberg from Tyrol, which he and Ratz spoke out in favor of. Nevertheless, his lack of political commitment to the interests of Vorarlberg as a whole turned out to be a bitter disappointment for his voters.

Lukas von Zwickle was awarded the golden civil merit cross with the crown .
