Life

Haeusler was the son of the officer Friedrich Häusler (1780–1865) and Auguste von Papet (1789–1862), daughter of the officer Johann Julius Friedrich von Papet (1741–1793). After finishing school he received a scholarship from the city of Braunschweig and from 1841 studied law at the universities of Jena and Göttingen . During his student days, a lively correspondence developed between him and his mother, which on the one hand describes student life in Vormärz and on the other hand describes life in the residential city of Braunschweig in detail.

After completing his studies, Haeusler went through a successful legal career in Braunschweig as a lawyer at the Supreme Court and as a notary and was finally appointed to the Privy Councilor of Justice. He was chairman of the National Liberal Party in the Duchy of Braunschweig , was a member of the city council from 1850 to 1874, was elected member of the state parliament in 1863 by the most highly taxed traders in the city of Braunschweig and subsequently vice-president of the Braunschweig parliament . Haeusler was also chairman of the lawyers' association, from 1872 to 1875 director of the Braunschweigische Creditanstalt , a subsidiary of the Braunschweigische Bank founded in 1871 , and sat on the supervisory boards of numerous industrial companies, such as the sewing machine factory Grimme, Natalis and Co. , which later manufactured the calculating machines Brunsviga , the Harzer Works in Rübeland and Zorge in Blankenburg am Harz and the Braunschweigische Actien-Gesellschaft für Jute- und Flax-Industrie in Braunschweig, which was considered the first jute factory on the European continent. In 1895, Haeusler was also chairman of the executive committee of the committee for the establishment of an anniversary foundation for the ducal technical university . According to the Braunschweig historian Bernhard Kiekenap , Haeusler was "one of the most influential Braunschweig people of his time".
