Matthias Deymann (1799–1871), member of the Paulskirche, 1848

Matthias Deymann (born January 17, 1799 in Wesuwe near Meppen , † August 28, 1871 in Bad Neuenahr ) was a German lawyer and politician.

Life

Deymann was a son of the businessman Johannes Henricus Deymann and his wife Anna Maria Elisabeth Heyl , sister of the Prefect Anton Heyl and the Meppen Mayor Franz Heyl . Due to his origins, Matthias Deymann belonged to the leading district in the northern Emsland. The Congress of Vienna had granted the Duke of Arenberg the authority over the later offices of Aschendorf , Hümmling , Haselünne and Meppen under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Hanover . The duke, who was also the largest landowner, had civil rights, especially in the lower jurisdiction in his duchy.

From 1817 to 1819 Deymann studied law in Göttingen , where he became a member of the Corps Guestphalia. He received his doctorate in 1820 and entered the ducal arenberg service until 1824. He then worked in Meppen as an official assessor until 1829, then again as a freelance lawyer. In 1837 Deymann moved to the ducal administration in Meppen as a royal ducal-arenberg rent chamber councilor. In May 1850, Deymann, who was appointed to the ruling council, became a senior judge in the spring of 1852.

Politically, Deymann's path began as a representative of the Hanover 22 constituency (Sögel) in the Frankfurt National Assembly . He was elected on May 2, 1848 after several ballots with 32 to 20 votes for Dr. Caspar Heyl elected to the National Assembly. He belonged to it from May 18, 1848 to May 24, 1849 and joined the " Pariser Hof " faction , which had formed in December 1848 as a split from the " Casino " faction . This conservative and state-oriented association consisted of 38 men, including August Reichensperger . After 1866 Deymann was an important organizer of the election campaigns of the later center leader Ludwig Windthorst , whose candidacy was always opposed by the dignitaries and the Prussian authorities.
