Otto II (Solms-Laubach)
Otto II. Count zu Solms-Laubach (born October 1, 1799 in Laubach ; † November 22, 1872 ibid) was a Hessian nobleman and politician . He was a member and president of the first chamber of the state estates of the Grand Duchy of Hesse .
family
Otto came from the noble family Solms-Laubach . He was the son of the President of the Province of Jülich-Kleve-Berg Friedrich zu Solms-Laubach (1769-1822) and his wife Henriette, born von Degenfeld-Schomberg (1776-1847). His brother Reinhard (1801-1870) became a Prussian major general .
Life
He attended the Friedrich-Werdersches Gymnasium in Berlin and the universities in Bonn and Berlin . Otto zu Solms-Laubach succeeded the rulership in 1822. From 1826 to the March Revolution of 1849 and from 1851 to his death in 1872, he was a member of the first chamber of the estates as a registrar. In 1829/30 and 1851/56 he was president of the first chamber, after having been vice-president in 1844/49 (and again in 1856/66).
In 1848 he was a member of the preliminary parliament . As a result of the March Revolution, a new electoral law had been passed that abolished the prerogatives of the class and provided for free election of the first chamber. Otto zu Solms-Laubach was therefore not a member of the state parliament from 1849 to 1851, but represented the Grand Duchy in 1850 in the state house of the Erfurt Union Parliament .
In 1867/69 he was a member of the Reichstag of the North German Confederation , where he joined the parliamentary group of the Old Liberal Center . In November 1869 he resigned from the Reichstag.
During his studies in 1819 he became a member of the old Bonn fraternity / general public .
