Life

Coat of arms Dołęga

Oskar von Dolega-Kozierowski came from the Germanized, originally Polish noble family Kozierowski of the coat of arms community (Herb) Dołęga. He was a son of the Prussian captain a. D. Gregor Friedrich August von Dolega-Kozierowski (1799–1879) and his wife Henriette, b. von Kottwitz (1819–). His grandfather Friedrich Wilhelm Dolega von Kozierowski († 1839) was Prussian Vice President in Bromberg . He grew up in Dresden , attended the Vitzthumsche Gymnasium from 1864 to 1868 and then studied law.

In 1869 he began his service as a one-year volunteer , which was extended through the Franco-German War until March 8, 1871 and which he completed as a reserve officer in the Hussar Regiment "King Wilhelm I." (1st Rheinisches) No. 7 . He did his legal clerkship in Berlin and was a court assessor in Berlin and Stettin. In 1881 he switched from the judiciary to the administrative service as a government assessor.

A scandal gave him his first post: Albert von Bennigsen-Foerder , district administrator of the Duchy of Lauenburg district, had to resign after a short period in office because of his involvement in election manipulation in the Reichstag elections in 1881. Oskar von Dolega-Kozierowski initially took over the office of district administrator based in St. Georgsberg / Ratzeburg . In 1882 the district assembly officially elected him as district administrator. He was the first Prussian district administrator who, after the introduction of the district order in 1882, exercised the chairmanship of the organs of the Lauenburg regional communal association and thus replaced the hereditary marshal . During his term of office, negotiations about the construction of the Elbe-Trave Canal , now called Elbe-Lübeck Canal, took place, which replaced the old Stecknitz Canal , which dates back to the 14th century . Hellmut von Gerlach , who was his deputy as an assessor, says that he was "an able administrative officer". “He was not interested in politics. Of course he was conservative. "

In 1897, the new Ober-President Ernst von Köller appointed him to his co-worker as Senior Presidial Councilor in the Upper Presidium of the Province of Schleswig-Holstein in Schleswig . He supported Köller's drastic Germanization policy . The majority of the drafts of anti-Danish decrees and orders of the upper president to the district administrators in North Schleswig came from his pen. In 1901, shortly before the end of his term in office, Köller obtained Dolega-Kozierowski's promotion to government president in Schleswig. His work in this position was also shaped by the “intolerance of the national idea”.

When the Mayor of Husum Lothar Engelbert Schücking published his polemic The Reaction in Prussian Internal Administration , which triggered a scandal, von Dolega-Kozierowski reacted harshly. He misinterpreted the ordered review of a newspaper article as an invitation to discipline Schücking on a large scale. "This is how the 'Schücking case' became a 'Kozierowski case'". In the left-liberal magazine März he was ridiculed as an "outspoken representative of the East Elbe race" and "Polack offspring". After strong public criticism, Dolega-Kozierowski initially took leave for a stay in a sanatorium. In 1909 he resigned from his position and retired on July 1, 1909 for health reasons . As a former district president , he lived in Lübeck .

He was married to Jeannette Wilhelmine Ottilie, born in 1882. Willemoes-Suhm (1857–1920), a daughter of the Segeberg district administrator Peter Friedrich von Willemoes-Suhm . Heinrich von Kozierowski was a son of the couple.
