Max August von Schilcher
Max August Schilcher , Knight von Schilcher since 1840 , (born May 18, 1794 in Mindelheim , † February 17, 1872 in Munich ) was a Bavarian statesman.
Life
He was the son of Josef Anton Schilcher, a royal Bavarian state director and landowner on Gut Schorn near Starnberg, and his wife Antonie, née von Hofweller.
Schilcher attended the (today's) Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich . He then studied law at the University of Landshut . In 1813 he became a member of the Corps Suevia . After completing his studies - grade "excellent" - he entered the Bavarian civil service. After an internship at the regional court in Günzburg (1816), he filed for bankruptcy in 1818. In 1819 he was appointed as clerk at the Isarkkreis government and as an actuary, and in 1820 as assessor at the Mühldorf am Inn district court. In 1829 he came to the Berchtesgaden district court as a district judge . In 1831 he moved to the Altötting Regional Court (older order) in the same position . Appointed cabinet secretary to King Ludwig I on December 1, 1838 , Schilcher had to submit all official applications from the state ministries, the proposals of the highest court ranks and the bills of the court staff, and to give lectures on the newspaper and theater affairs.
By January 1, 1840 Schilcher was Ludwig I with the Knight's Cross of Merit of the Bavarian Crown encumbered. Associated with this was the elevation to the personal nobility status and he was allowed to call himself “Knight von Schilcher” after his entry in the nobility register (January 29, 1840). On May 28, 1862, he was raised to hereditary nobility (matriculation: June 6, 1862). Since he enjoyed great trust from King Ludwig, Maximilian II Joseph kept Schilcher in the office of cabinet secretary after his father's abdication on March 20, 1848. As a concession to constitutionalism , the cabinet secretariat was dissolved by Maximilian on November 15, 1848 at Schilcher's proposal. However, Schilcher remained in Maximilian's direct service as a ministerial advisor and head of the cabinet office , whose business he ran until 1856. He was appointed to the Bavarian State Council in 1852 and retired as such in 1867.
Max von Schilcher was married to Walburga Lackner (1811–1897), the daughter of a winemaker from Rosenheim. The marriage resulted in the son Franz Sales (* 1836 in Altötting) and the daughter Therese Maximiliane Maria (* 1841 in Munich).
