Marcus von Stetten (* probably 1775 , baptized on February 29, 1776 in Augsburg ; † May 16, 1826 ) was an official of the Kingdom of Bavaria and from 1805 to 1823 Police President of Munich .

Life

Von Stetten was the son of Euphrosine Elisabeth Magdalene von Stetten (* 1736; † 1829) and Paul von Stetten . His brother was Christoph David von Stetten (* 1774; 1845), who studied experimental physics with Georg Christoph Lichtenberg in the winter semester 1796/97 and summer semester 1797 . On April 12, 1803 he married Euphrosine Katharina von Schad (* 1786 in Mittelbiberach ; † 1836) in Ulm . On May 19, 1794, he was enrolled at the University of Leipzig and on October 21, 1795 at the Georg-August University of Göttingen . From 1803 he lived in Ulm, where he was the police director in 1804. From 1805 he headed the police authority in Munich and reported daily to Maximilian von Montgelas . The interest was in people, publications, events, conversations, moods about which he reported, based on police spies.

Alimentation

In the Kingdom of Bavaria, from 1818 onwards in the cities and in the villages from 1813 onwards, police duties were carried out by a centrally controlled gendarmerie . On January 1, 1813, an edict relating to the establishment of a Gensd'armerie came into force with 206 articles. The previous police cordon and the toll patrol corps were dissolved. In Munich this centralization did not take place until 1823, when the Stettens left the service. The work of Gendarmerie General Johann Baptist von Verger in Munich is reported in chronicles from December 1, 1812 to January 1, 1813.

In 1815 the General Commissioner of the Upper Danube District of Stetten wanted to have 675 guilders refunded, which the latter had received too much. Stetten responded to this demand in a petition to Maximilian I Joseph on January 18, 1820 : When Ulm was surrounded by French troops in the autumn of 1805, the salaries of the officials were reduced in order not to have to hand over full coffers when the city was about to fall paid for five months in advance. Although at this point he had already been appointed Police Director in Munich , he received the advance payment. When Ulm surrendered, von Stetten said goodbye to General Commissioner Arco and put the remindered amount on the table when suddenly the door popped open and the French city commandant entered the room. Count Arco had not got the time to issue a receipt from Stetten, who withdrew. What happened next with the money was beyond his knowledge, especially since Count Arco died the following night. In Munich von Stetten received an annual salary of 3000 guilders. The police commissioner in Landshut received 2,600 guilders and in Nuremberg 2000 guilders a year.

From 1810, von Stetten tried unsuccessfully to transfer from his office as police director in Munich . From 1819 he lived in his house at Residenzstrasse 47, which he acquired in January 1821 for 28,000 guilders. The President of the Appeal Court, Karl Christian von Mann (born December 9, 1773 in Sulzbach-Rosenberg ; † March 22, 1837) owned three parcels of land with two houses (No. 1348) west of the so-called Chédevillehaus on the site of today's Brienner Strasse 4 / corner of Wittelsbacherplatz . On February 15, 1817, the building commission started purchase negotiations with Mann. After tough negotiations, Mann sold it for 44,723 guilders. 1823 Stetten requested by the maintenance payment of 36,000 guilders in three installments and the assignment of of man's reason. On June 3, 1823, the Hofbauintendanz informed the State Ministry of Finance that von Stetten had also raised claims on the building site on the corner of Koeniginstrasse and Fürstenstrasse (today Wittelsbacherplatz 6). The building site had been sold to Étienne Mejan , where Leo von Klenze built the Palais Mejean from 1823–1824 . On June 11, 1823, Marcus von Stetten was awarded compensation of 2,442 guilders. On September 25, 1823, he was for health reasons in the retirement staggered. He died like a king. Collegiate and former Polizey director, 51 years old, Protestant, from an organic defect of the heart.
