Life

Glaß studied law in Munich and Heidelberg , where he received his doctorate . He then settled in Landau as a lawyer in 1843 . For the sixth Palatinate constituency of Landau, he was elected to the Paulskirche in Frankfurt in April 1848, as the only non-Palatinate member of the MPs . There he was the youngest of the 10 Palatine parliamentarians. He joined the Westendhall faction .

In the autumn of 1848 Glaß was criticized by other members of parliament and in the press for his voting behavior. Like Stockinger , he had voted for the provisional central power and annexation of Poznan . The other Palatine had left the hall in protest. His constituents revolted against him and forced him to resign on September 5th. The electors did not send either of the two replacement candidates, but instead chose August Culmann as his successor for parliament. Glaß worked as an examining magistrate at the Landau District Court until his death in 1849 .
